Battery Replacement

Post by Baysideintruder »

My Yusa battery has finally shit the bed. After 2 weeks on battery tender it still wont start bike. I jumped it and rode for half hour. Stop for gas and no start. I am ready to get new battery.
My question is what battery have my fellow IsA members had good luck with and what to stay away from.
Unfortunately I am not a daily rider so it does tend to sit. I have a tender and usually plug in a few days before starting.
I don't mind spending more if its worth it. I don't want to have this prob again.
Also I was thinking of replacing cables while I am at it.
Does anyone make quality pre made cables for my VS800?
As always I am grateful for the knowledge and participation this board and its members provide.
Thanks
Charlie

Heard good things about the moto.

I put an odessey into my 1400 7 years ago and still strong. Bolted one into my ultra last weekend. Spendy but gives me good feelings late at night when i hit the start button.
