Put a new battery in a 16' already, POS load tests @ 9V. Might have been dead a few times though, new to me so not sure.

Pulled the original '13 battery as a new (better than OEM) one comes in this week. Had a slight hesitation during starts.
Only had a 160 cca in it. Went with a 240 cca Yuasa.

It's amazing how battery technology and performance has improved in recent years. That new one should hurl your motor into life now!

got mine ready for the new bars/grips to go on as soon as the correct cable/line set arrives.
only being semi e-bay literate, I ordered the wrong set at 1st but since they're unopened the seller is being really great about exchanging them.
photo essay style pics in thread in "front end" section.......
