diggerodell 10-13-2009, 02:45 PM I have had to replace my battery every year. I think my charging system has been over charging them. I have traced the problem down to the starter and did not know what resistance reading I should get with cable removed and starter on bike. :confused: Macs2 10-13-2009, 04:59 PM Quick question...do you leave a battery tender on it year around.? We did that and it wound up killing our batteries. diggerodell 10-14-2009, 02:19 AM Do not own one. Bungln 10-14-2009, 05:40 PM Quick question...do you leave a battery tender on it year around.?

Yup....from what I gathered, not cycling the battery a little wasn't good for it. Compare it kinda of like a cell phone battery, if you charge it before you need to, over time it just kind of wears out. That is how the stealership explained it. I found on my bike I really didn't ever need it in the summer. I just plugged it in periodically in the winter. It also stayed in a climate controlled garage though. | ||
