Yeah, unfortunetaly, that's about right. But then, I believe over the
years, motorcycle batteries, (and parts in general), have been WAY over
priced for what you get. I suppose that's part of the joys of owning a
motorcycle. ;^)
> Does a GTS need a sealed battery or can one go with a non-sealed type?
Well, there are several trains of thought here. The biggest one is that
sealed batteries last much longer and require no maintaince. Considering
the 'delicate' nature of the venerable electrical system of the GTS, I
would think that you wouldn't want to 'scrimp' in this area. Save that
for tires and oilers. ;^)
I was also going to say that the 'spill quotion' of the sealed battery
is lower, which would be a help for those ocassional 'tip-overs'.
However, I don't think that that is necessarily true. Although I have
never it seen leak when my bike was, uh, laying down to sleep. Yeah,
that's it. DOH!
There may be more on this...watch this last for updates!
