    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.

US Cold Cranking Amps not cheap Chinese

I have bought my last lead acid battery.

I recently invested in a Deka AGM battery for the GS1000G and the difference is amazing.

Not only better starting but the bike seems to have gained 5 hp as well.

The old battery must have been providing a really weak spark.

Check out how she starts from cold now in my video.

I have an AGM in my 1100G and it works great! Definitely something every bike should have.


FYI: Cold Cranking Amps is a measurement of sustained amperage when at 0 degrees Fahrenheit without falling below 7.2v. Although your bike is "cold" you are just utilizing the better cranking amps, and sustained amp hour that AGMs produce. :)
