My battery is starting to die on me after a short 2 years. I need some more advice. I need a webb sight to get a reasonable gel battery for the 2006 st1300.It seams the 06 takes a special battery that most don't have and the Honda dealer wants 225.00 I will walk before paying that!!!Got any advice.?? Shouldn't they last longer than 2 years?? I left the key on with the lights long enough to put on my rain pants and it wouldn't start after having the lights on for two minutes

It hasn't been mentioned yet, so I'll do it. If you haven't, be sure to get a Battery Tender and plug the bike in whenever you return home. I think I've doubled my battery life using one. BTW, I believe that all years use the same battery. $225 is insane - I'd look for another dealer. + 1 on using the search function.
