New battery

[Grumpy Goat]

GG - Bringing this old thread up, I just ordered a Yuasa GYZ16H from Amazon at $121.  The vendor is Motorheadzone.  So I checked on their web site and the same battery is $180.  Strange, and I ordered via Amazon with free shipping.  My bike is 2017 so I have no complaints about the service life of the original battery.

Last fall I was having trouble starting the bike.  Sometimes nothing when pushing the start button.  Sometimes lights went dim. Sometimes started fine.  So it might not actually be the battery.  Might be poor contact in the start button, or other poor connection.  But I'll start with the battery since I really don't feel like playing with the wires.  Will update when I put this new battery into service.

Bob, I know you will be pleased with the Yuasa battery as I still am. Just make sure all your grounds are solid and I am sure the intermittent issues will be cured. In my mind as long as I get 4 years out of a battery I am satisfied ... more than that is gravy. With my original one I tended not to use a battery tender charger when not used for like 2 weeks or so during the winter and maybe that hastened the original battery's demise as I only got 3 years out of it. This one goes on the tender whenever I am not using it but am using the Tracer.
