#96654 RSCstar1602 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 136 There are forces at work 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   These forces are beyond our understanding I went down to the S&S Ranch yesterday morning. It's thier 50th year celebration, and you can go on a tour of the facilities. Awesome tour so much neat stuff your head would spin, saw R&D department, back to racing history. finally decide to leave and good old reliable "Everlovin" my Roadie has nothing, no power, dead. No spark even at the Battery terminals, no blown fuses. So some guys get to push me down the hill, she fires, and I run the 40mi back home. The final analysis is in and the battery died, something sapped all it's power and after 7 years and 46,000mi it suddenly failed at S&S. coincidence you decide for yourself but I know what I think.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #96668 greyphart (User) bad idea+ experience = good judgement Gold Boarder Posts: 950 Re:There are forces at work 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Had a problem like that when I went to buy my Roadie. Pulled into the dealer in my truck and the radiator took a dump. It was like "A NEW RIDE? TAKE THIS YOU @^%$(*!". Weird.

Just the timing, one of the last things I was looking at were the Pro-Stock Drag racing parts and trophies. Probably running right along side a Patrick Racing Yamaha   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #96800 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1518 Re:There are forces at work 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I'm still on the original battery - 2 years and 26,000 miles and counting. Better think about putting a new one in anyway before I head off on the next long trip at the end of summer. You guys are scaring me.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #96812 Clifford (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 489 Re:There are forces at work 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I bought my bike at 4 years old and replaced the battery 6 months later. The bike was purchased in January 03 in 4 1/2 years it went through 5 winters but here in Florida never saw less than 40 degrees in that time.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1518 Re:There are forces at work 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I'm thinking my battery might be holding up better because I ride year round, no need to trickle charge it. Never goes more than two days without firing up. ...or I could just be really lucky.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access.
