[QUOTE="GMAK, post: 1416647, member: 17060"] I seem to recall that back at my 201705 relay saga, I had just replaced the battery with the FJR version YUASA. I began having intermittent dead start faults, but usually could "wiggle" past them. The problem continued, and became less and less intermittent, until it was a hard fault. I thought it was the new(but probably faulty) battery. I then replaced the YUASA battery with a Batteries Plus FJR version, and the starter fault ceased. All this chronology occurred long before the final 201705 dealer repair. Might have been as long as a year. I'm not sure. The 201705 dealer repair was launched in response to the ultimate final failure that could no longer be circumvented or ignored. Then, the relay was replaced, and I thought I'd be looking at 1,000's of trouble free miles, never to be stranded again. Nope, that hasn't played out exactly as I planned. My small biker group does regularly rag at me for not employing a tender type device. But, my charger does have the tender type circuitry to simulate that function. I just don't use it 24/7. Thank you, for your ideas, suggestions, and contributions. [/QUOTE]
