[QUOTE="#Rocket, post: 1454491, member: 98498"] Sounds like you probably ruled-out non-battery issues. Maybe the new battery has a marginal cell or connection. Over the years I have bought batteries for recreational equipment, tractors, and lawn equipment. I have stopped buying batteries that are acid filled from the factory (i.e., I only buy dry batteries that come with acid in separate special fillers). For example, my 2006 FJR had an OEM YUASA battery for over a decade. I replaced it with a highly rated pre-filled AGM battery. It tested good but would not start the bike reliably on a cool morning. I exchanged it for an OEM YUASA with separate acid fillers, activated the battery, and the bike is reliable again. It seems like the FJR battery has some special CCA AND amp-hour requirements that are best met with OEM. This is just an experienced opinion, your situation may be different. [/QUOTE]
