Well let us know what the outcome is for that battery, for that price if it starts and lasts anytime at all you are in the good.Hey guys
My bike has been park since I had my neck surgery last Aug (2013) and the battery was old (about dead) then. I am really close to getting back on (cant wait).
We are in the process of moving, and needless to say ... its new battery time.
So ... I decided to try a MBTX9U (Replacement). The cca are a bit lower ... but I thought I would give it a try for $25 shipped (7% off MOTO7)

I never ordered from them before, but they are in good standings with resellerratings.com and the bbb.
I think if it lasts a yr, it paid for itself.
Will keep you updated

Thats what I am thinking MikeWell let us know what the outcome is for that battery, for that price if it starts and lasts anytime at all you are in the good.
Load test it when starting the bike and if it stays over 10 volts keep it going, if not replace it.I put a Motobatt in my ST1300 in March of 11. The bike never gets put on a battery tender.
It has been sitting for three weeks unridden and with no load the battery reads 12.55 volts or 90 percent charged. I usually change batteries every 2 or 3 years as I have had too many sudden battery failures here in the heat Texas.
Getting ready for a 3000 mile week long trip in a few weeks, and can't decide if I need to change the battery or not before leaving.
That sounds like the battery still has some service left in it for you. Now go ride and enjoy it!Measured just over 10 volts when starting it. Took the bike for a ride and then let it sit over night. Measured 12.67 volts the next morning. Looks like the battery is still good for a while.
