Well crap

Push button...click...click...click.

Battery showed 8 volts despite being on the tender since the last time I rode. I suppose 4 years is about all the life I'll get out of these things even while being on the tender when not ridden. The old battery was supposed to have 330 CCA but the new one has 400 CCA. Spins the motor a bit faster on start now for sure. Gonna go ride tomorrow instead of today because we are meeting my sister and BIL in a couple of hours for some BBQ.

Afternoon, guys.

11 plants planted. 1 wore out old man.

4 years is pretty good for a motorcycle battery. At least it happened at home and not halfway through day.

Afternoon, Woods......working next door all day doing stuff that really wasn't necessary but I just didn't like.

Russ....what battery did you put in? I'm on 4 1/2 yrs on mine and going to put a new one in. Looking at the DEKA ETX30L or Yuasa one.
