[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1219480, member: 3828"] Batteries... Many moons ago my '05 started with the hot start trip meter and clock resets that signaled a weak bat'ry. Ordered a WestCo from forum member Bike Effects with the great forum discount. Fast forward a pant-load of years. Transferred ownership of the B4 to my adult son last fall, who, due to circumstances, had to shove the bike into his landlord's unheated garage in VT with no ability to put a tender on it through one of the more memorably long and brutal New England winters in recent memory. He texted me yesterday, and asked: "Datel volt meter says the battery is at 12.5 to 12.6V. You think it will start?" I responded: "Hell yes!" And of course the bike started like it was the middle of summer and he was able to ride it down from the landlord's garage to his own cabin in the woods with no problem Sometimes you just have to love these damn bikes.
