Battery question.....
Today I just bought a new battery for my bike, its an Energizer (yeah, I didn't think they made bike batteries either) and I was just wondering which brands you guys use. The battery is currently charging and requires me to add the electrolyte fluid to it before charging/installation. After I bought it, one of my riding buddies told me that batteries of this kind are crappy. Anyone have any info on this?

Re: Battery question.....
The battery for the 06 is the same as the 05 04 03 and so on most bike batterys are the same. I dont think it really matters I had to buy one like that for my jety ski I couldnt wait to go out so I filled it up and tried it it started so I just let the stator charge it..IDK if that is good but oh well

Re: Battery question.....
uh, there's LOTS of different batteries for bikes. wet cell, sealed (maintenance free), gell, etc, and an ass-ton of different sizes.
i use yuasa... period. cheap batteries don't generally last very long, and a dead battery can take out other parts of your charging system.
energizer's aren't that bad though.

Re: Battery question.....
Yuasa here also. Just bought one for the TL. Just bought the bike and the guy said he never changed it. So i figured it was worth the extra coin for a nice maint. free battery.
