    Default And then it happened.....😭

    As they say.... nothing lasts forever.. been couped up and finally decided to take off into the unknown and got all geared up only to hear that dreaded "CLICK" when I hit the starter button. Granted this YUASA battery has been totally discharged in more than one occasion (little ones leaving things on) ryden hard and put up wet. That being said it has faithfully fired the spyder up for 7 years. So I have to thank YUASA for making a great battery and I have another on the way. One reason I always recommend them and have used them for the last 60 years.

    At least you know exactly what happened, and it's an easy fix!

    Your battery lived a charmed and very long life. Good news that it decided to die at home. Hope we are all so lucky.....

    Mine is still an infant....only 4 years. I’ve always had Yuasa on all my bikes, other than my first bike, which didn’t need a battery....back in the kickstart days. Manys the time I had to bomb start the sucker...it had a mind of its own. Those were the days when new cars came equipped with a handcrank.
