I think you should write a nasty letter and complain! Imagine only 6 years out of a battery! Oh the humanity!

Well I hope it isn't the norm since my 04 still has the original battery in it and so does Wendy's 04.

Well you know the old saying. Don't talk about your battery because the next time you go to start your bike it will be dead!!!


Young enough to care-less & old enough to know-better. Sooo how do you like me now!!! Whaaaat!!

I replaced mine on my 03 BA last summer as a preventative measure. It was 6 years old and was still in good shape. It is now in the basement as a backup. Hope the new one lasts as long.
