    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

New battery recommendation

After riding with a buddy today, my bike wouldn't start up when turning it on from a parking lot. He ended up pushing me while I was in second gear and was able to turn it on. Turned it off, and still wouldn't turn on. Had to do the push and turn on method to get it home.

I just bought the bike in early April (it was running, but wouldn't go faster than 45 mph so I wouldn't say the bike was in good shape when buying it). The guy who sold it said it has a new battery. I looked at the battery and it's Wal-Mart brand. :confused::confused::confused: LOL. My riding buddy says I may just need a new battery, but I want recommendations for a good brand.
 
Using a Yuasa AGM in mine, works great. Don't forget to test the charging circut. Nice bike, had a couple of 450's in my past.
 
Go through the tests in The Stator Papers before you buy anything. Even Walmart battery should work for a while.
 
The Everstart from Walmart is fine, I use them in everything. I suggest while you are there you also purchase a float charger by Schumacher (spelling) for around $20.
 
Motobatt's probably the best bang for your buck, or a Lithium if your budget allows.
