Not sure, but I think the idea of having to charge your battery all the time sounds like something I get sick of doing. Might try your idea with better battery, might look at the cost of a bigger starter too, I reckon the two together would fix the problem. Really wanted to spend the money on a HID headlight....and a brake upgrade....I swore to stop spending money on it for the rest of the year haha

Rode out to see the AMA hill climbs at Poag's Hole in Dansville, NY. It was a great time. Lots of bikes and we had a blast. That hill is very deceiving from where we were watching. Up close, its 10x steeper than it looks. The safety guys catching the crashed bikes and riders at the top of the hill can't even see them coming until they crest the edge so with every bike that makes it, the guys are scrambling to get out of the way.
These are two women racing, I say "he" at the end, my mistake but she plows over a guy at the top who ran the wrong way from the bike that crosses and goes right toward the group waiting at the top.

Ash how yours starts in the second video is how mine started from the get go. My battery isn't the healthiest as it's had a hard time starting for awhile because I have 10.5 compression but no auto compression releases. Pretty sure I'll be in for a new battery shortly.
I'm thinking a better starter motor may help the batteries to last a little longer. When it first try's to kick and there's that pause, there must be an enormous load on the battery. This is where a lot of the battery would be drained. I'd say a bigger starter would eliminate the pause. Obviously a bigger starter would drain the battery a little more too, but it'd have to be better then the way it is now.

On another note I switched to the Dunlop E-3's last fall and have 7500 on the rear now and it still looks new.I have yet to have it slide in the rain which I've seen my fair share of this year.Pretty good tire IMO. Which we all know don't mean jack ****.
Pretty cool ride PoPo,my buddie has one that has a gazillion miles on it and never been apart. And Ash, Tx. you guys can have this f'n heat.This **** sux and it's getting hotter everyday this week.
