Replacing the battery is so much more cost effective than trying to salvage whats left of the life of an old one. Almost ALL batteries come off the same assembly line, So Buying a certain brand should not matter. I bought a new battery from Wal-Mart last year and have had no problems with it so far. Make sure you put the Acid in it very carefully as to not spill it everywhere. They give you just enough to fill ALL the cells full but if you spill some then you are in a bit of trouble. Fill all the cells to the full line. Take your time as there will be air bubbles in the cells. Almost like a carbonated drink. So wait for the air bubbles to go away before you go through and fill them up the rest of the way. Make sure you use all the acid. Good luck

I have a battery tender on it for the winter but the old battery seems to be through. I have read about people recharging their old battery with some success but I know nothing about it. There is some guy on ebay selling information about how to do this. Do any of you have successful experience in doing this? What do you think - should I just go buy a new battery? If so, is there a better brand to search for? Thanks for your help! In the time I have owned my bike, you folks have helped me a lot!
