Has anyone experience issues dealing with new batteries? Maybe I'm new to this. I bought an 07 off the lot in Florida last April. I rode it everyday. Moved back home to Pittsburgh in January, so it did sit until April-May. I had no problems getting it to start in May and rode it all over until one morning it just didnt start. I had it out in a pretty bad storm the night before. Does anyone think the battery could have gotten wet? I put it on a charge and the battery is completly dry. My warranty of course wont cover the battery and it costs $120 for a new one. Is that normal? SHould I get the original battery or go for a different less expensive battery. Any input would be much appreciated!

 

the yuasa batteries are top notch.

if you want to then spend the money, but if you dont want to then dont. but dont expect anything to be "better"

and i think u answered your own question. you left it outside, in a storm... lol

 

I believe the battery has either a 6 month or 1 year warranty on it........I'm not 100% sure. I just knew that my battery kept passing all the tests, yet it was dead everytime I got home. If I turned the engine switch off, and just cranked it, it would drain in about 10-15 seconds. Finally, I just yelled at the dealer (the crappy dealer I hate with a passion) and left. Went to the dealer who I bought it from (and hour away) and they replaced it......no problems since. I could have sworn the batteries were covered for 1 year though.

 

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh sometimes batteries just go dry or they leak. try to get it covered by your warrantee i guess good luck
