    LMAO don't get paranoid! They're tough, just not as tough as the stock drives!

    I didn't get to ride this weekend; battery died so I have to use the kicker to get the engine started but it smells like rotten eggs after a few minutes. Short, necessary, trips only until tomorrow when a new battery gets here.

      Hey Scott,

      What battery did you have in it, and what brand/model are you going to put in it? Steve is taking a poll and requesting folks to provide input so we can come up with a tech tip on what's out there, folks experiences with them, durability, etc.!?

          Bingo... I decided to try Yuasa's latest and greatest, a GYZ20-HL; info and story has been safely tucked under Larry's oil cap so he can sort it when he gets 'tuit.

          So far I really like the new battery but I'll have to see how it holds up.
