[QUOTE="infrared, post: 1451538, member: 68615"] Henwill, Prolly worth saying - most auto parts stores can load-test your battery for free (provided that they sell batteries there). Remove the battery from the bike (easier to be done with insulating strings or cords, through both of the terminals). On my 2008, a plastic body panel covered one corner of the battery. That stupid panel wanted to cause me a [U]lot[/U] of extra work, to remove the battery. I took a bare hacksaw blade, inserted down the side of the battery, and carefully sawed the panel to remove the obstructing plastic that was straight above the battery. Easy-peasy. This minor mod is invisible when the bike is buttoned up, of course. Since the price is right, it does not hurt to have more than one company load-test your battery, to see if they all tell you the same stories. Just do not tell one store that another store has already tested your battery. ;) [/QUOTE]
