oscar, i put a new load tested interstate battery in the dog about 4-6 wks ago. when i ain't on the bike, the tender is. went out for a ride friday and stopped at napa to check on some polish, went out side to leave and the dog basically puked on itself and completely shut down. had already called the dealer to see about getting it picked up but before final decision, tried jumping it off with a jump box. fired up and rode it home. put it on the tender for (2) days and tried it again with a green light on the tender(not connected). all it did was click once and then absolutely nothing.
i had put the old battery on another tender when i took it out of the bike "just in case". took the NEW battery out and put the old battery back in and back on the tender overnight. FIRED RIGHT UP. took the interstate back to the dealer and gonna get my money back. damn 2 year old battery in better shape than a brand new "320 cca" battery, WTF???????????????????????
simple point here, just because it is supposed to be a new something don't mean it is worth a shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
