No more Yuasa battery at my Yamaha dealer
I couldn't believe it. My bike wouldn't start yesterday. But to be fair, my Yuasa battery was 6 years old and didn't fail me on my 2 weeks trip in the Highlands (which would have been very inconvenient). It still passed the MOT 2 weeks ago. Big surprise when my Yamaha dealership gave me a GS battery from Taiwan, and it even has the Yamaha sticker on. I wonder if this will be a complete shift from Yausa to GS. And more important wether this one will give me 6 years service!

Incidentally, I couldn't believe how heavy that little battery is. Thats lugging around an anchor to put it mildly. Now you know why dirt bikes have kick start levers and not electric start.

I'll be going for a Shorai Lithium when the time comes. Got one for the missus' KLR recently and I thought the box was empty when it arrived it was so light. It's a massive free weight saving with those bad boys.

If that's true then I'm cross, as I paid the same as for a Yuasa, well actually more since the pound has dropped in value.
