I made the mistake of putting batterys on a tender and leaving them in the garage last year. I had to replace 3 of the 4, it gets cold here in the winter and really messes up batterys.

was it the battery tender brand or something else? a float charger should have kept them good over the winter. if it was a trickle charger you have to babysit them.

If your battery is 4yrs old you should replace it regardless. Just don't get some cheap BS. Go to the HD dealer and get a nice AGM battery. Should run about $90-$100
Stay away from many other brands... Interstate are rebranded junk. YUASA blows nuts. I'll smack you if you got any auto store to get a fuckin tractor battery. |

Nope on anything. I had a couple YUSAs on my rice and never thought they were worth a shit.

never had a problem with Yuasa, had them on MANY bikes, no issues...

Gas has been shitting on Yuasa for years.
BTW...PROBLEM SOLVED! I dont know how or why...but it ran on Friday. I gave it some throttle and fired it up. Keep on the throttle long enough to keep it running...maybe 10 or 15 seconds...then it settled into it's normal idle. I let it warm up...snapped the throttle once...it hiccuped...then ran perfect. So I have no idea what the problem was or is. I didn't do anything but try to start it on Friday. I rode it about 12 miles...it was fine. I guess the real test comes when I try to start it next time.

I'd go with the seafoam next time you fill up... may be some sort of slight blockage in the lines, filter, or injector.
glad it's runn'n though |
