[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1144879, member: 3828"] FYI... the OE battery was not the same Yuasa battery that you can buy here in the US, unless the dealer replaced it after un-crating the bike, which would be unusual. The stock battery that comes in an FJR is the Asian brand GS Yuasa (stands for Genzou Shimadzu) In the US that would be called GS brand. The US Yuasa batteries are not much more expensive than a WestCo, unless you are foolish enough to buy it from a bike dealership. YMMV PS - if you killed two batteries in just 2 years each, and were using the same battery tender to "maintain" them, you might want to look at your battery tender a little closer. [/QUOTE]
