V4 Battery Woes

  1. OK, I thought you’d said it was when you were on tour using it every other day.
     
  2. Sorry, no. It became more noticeable when on tour as not on the trickle charger and bike being ridden every other day.
     
  3. On my '22 V4 PP, I got 3 years out of the original battery. Started to get symptoms of slow starts last month, and so I ordered a replacement Yuasa battery for $95 USD. Have been on several rides since replacement, and no further issues with starting.

    During the wet/icy months (Nov - Mar) here in the Pacific Northwest region of the US, I place the battery on a 750 mA battery maintainer, and the bike is stored in an insulated garage.
