New '08 ABS picked up Oct'08 - 19 months old, just clicked over 52K miles. Original Yussa battery still seems strong, even after running it down 5, 6, maybe 7 times
eek
after shutting engine off for a quick chat, but without 'turning it off.' Lights blazing through a pleasant conversation then . . . sometimes a click, sometimes not.
Only goes on a tender if I'm not riding for more than a week (pretty rare).
Quick push start, easier than I thought it would be the first time, and battery seems to charge back to full in pretty short order.
Thanks to wb5tty for starting this thread and Joe for the Poll. I'll be keeping an eye on it.
