Intruders-Alert

After putting in fuel at the gas station, when trying to start, it went click and then all lights gone. Tried to jump start it with a YTX12 battery using the clamps with quick connector at the end from Battery Tender and it did not work. I later found that the clamp set have a 7.5A fuse and when jump starting, the fuse blew.

Got a new Yuasa from Amazon for around $90, put in the acid, wait 1 hr and then slow charged it overnight before installing it. Everything is working correctly now.

[emoji106] 10 years is a good run.
Yea, the tender wires are way to small to carry the required amperage.

10 years! That is awesome. I bought a sealed battery from chrome battery for $40, going on year 5...knock on wood...

I tried the Chrome battery once, lasted about 4 months.

Currently have a Xtreme AGM from Batteries Plus, 4 years now no problems

Then I should really knock on wood... I also have a chrome battery in my riding mower that's been good for just shy of 2 years

I just picked mine up and put in an AGM battery as it's what was recommended. Bike starts great now too.
