Saw something like this once when someone evil put sugar in a friends gas tank.

So as it says, the combo is sold. Bought by someone who was happy to get the setup. Thanks to the Forum for all the support over the years. Keep up the great work.

Spring is here and I am still looking for a good home for my great friend. I would have thought someone would be interested in a ready to go setup like this. Any tips on how to sell her would be appreciated. I've had offers for the trailer alone but the slight modifications to the bike which...

Updates... Price dropped to $6800 New battery installed and bike is still great. Getting ready to put her away for the winter. Happy to answer any questions.

Really sorry to read about your aborted trip. Thank goodness you weren't hurt worse. The CA-1 down and back was one of the wife and I's best rides. We were so lucky. Everything about it was fantastic. Weather was perfect. Having been a riding instructor I remember a motorcycle safety poster...

80,000km (about 50k miles) on the bike. I bought a new battery and tried to install it. Ran into a problem described by others. The size of the battery is critical. The new one was identical in every spec except width. Slightly wider. As a result the new battery did not fit in the tray. Sits too...

The battery is not dead - it was pulled and put on maintenance. The bike was delivered without it. If there's any issue with it I will be replacing it with a new one.

Thanks cuppelt but Haulbikes.com doesn't seem to work in Canada. I will email them and check for sure.

Thanks to those that have contributed to this thread. I am looking at the possibility of riding down the west coast from Vancouver to LA. Home is north of Toronto CA and I don't want to ride all the way out west this time - not enough vacation days. So, I'd like to ship the bike to Vancouver...

The wife and I have not been on a long ride for a while nor have we been out east since ... Damn before we were married! We may make it out to meet with you folks if there's room nearby ( doesn't have to be at the same place )

ROFLMAO - thanks! I have a great use for this ... thanks for the link

I understand it comes with a manual on stone table.

If I pull the batteries and store them at home they'd be in my winter-cold garage. That seems to defeat having them with the bikes in warm storage. Snow flurries forcast for tomorrow morning. :ohwell:

To get the longest life out of this type of battery is it better to let it discharge a bit and recharge (would this simulate normal - un-stored - use) or remove all possible drains and just top it up occasionally? And is it any different from the old unsealed battery from my SRX. I have not...
