![]() Valve check. I'm working on looking for a place I can trust to do it. That's the hard part.

In reality the 100 degree temps are harder on batteries. |

Now you could road trip up to MI and visit Gas Man. Sure he'd be happy to help with the valves |

I have one for both bikes, which is good as I'll have to do valve checks on both bikes this year...

Technicalities, brother. I know its the cold oil and shit. But those are results of....cold temps.

I didn't think a battery for a bike would be hard to find where you didn't get ass raped in the process!
Around town the cheapest I can find it is 83.95 and it has to be ordered. The Batteries Plus place Cutty suggested has one for 60 and it's going to take me about 6-7 bucks in gas to get there and back. And not one of the places has a brand name that a couple of people have suggested.

Annually: Brake Fluid, Battery Electrolyte (non-maintenance-free types),
Every other year: Coolant change, Complete empty/refill of gas tank (get the water/crud out), Steering Head Bearing Clean/Lubricate, Fork Oil/Fluid On Mileage: Oil AND filter, Fuel Filters every 12-24K (closer to 12K doesn't hurt) On Condition: Tires, Brakes, and Chain/Sprocket sets, Cables (throttle and if applicable clutch) RE: Brake pads - if there's less than a 'dime' (i.e. depth of material) worth of pad left, change them IMMEDIATELY. YMMV... ![]()

Don't buy a discount battery stick with the original brand.
