Americade - Battery Question

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

Just picked up my 14 RT about 10 days ago. I noticed the battery was a bit sluggish. The 400 mile ride home should have charged it. No idea how old the current one is, appears to be stock. It tests-out as needing to be replaced, charging system appears fine. Any thing out of the ordinarily for changing the battery, or is it similar to cars and trucks? Any feed back welcome.

The main thing different is if the voltage drops below 10.5 when you hit the starter, the computer goes wacky and the bike won't start. Most other vehicles will start if there's enough oomph in the battery to crank the engine, even slowly, but not a Spyder.

A Yuasa, the same as the OEM, is about as good an overall deal there is. That's one aspect of the Spyder where after market isn't any better, really, unless you want to spend a lot of extra $$.
