[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 517435, member: 4"] I was one of the early adopters of the Westco battery, and used to strongly recommend it. This was circa 2004-2005. Singing a slightly different tune now.... The Wesco in my FJR has actually been fairly good... actually, I would say it's been excellent. It is going on it's fourth winter, and has about 45,000 miles on it, and it still spins the FJR's motor at a right fair pace, even when it's sub-freezing in the garage. But similar to Bill, I did NOT enjoy the same level of success when I put a Westco in my Blackbird. in the fall of 2006. The following summer put an awful lot of miles on the bike in a pretty short period of time [IMG]https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/images/smilies/ikf/whistling.gif[/IMG] but then I let it sit for a good period afterward. By Sept 2008, it was dead meat. Replaces it with a Western Power battery since I was placing it on consigment. Event though the Westco has been fairly stellar in the FJR, come time to replace it... it'll be a Yuasa, most likely. [/QUOTE]
