Not exactly a poll, but.
1. How old is your GS?
2. How many miles ya got?
3. Still have the stock battery?
4. If not, what did you replace it with?

( Does sound like a poll )

Good to Go

I think Lamont has changed his. I'm sure you can find a great battery replacement for it.

 

[jrbloise]

1. SE-5 2009, 9 months old

2. 12,062 miles (after today's ride)

3. Still have stock battery, and use a battery tender "plus" since I'm using heated clothing now. Also, ordered a digital volt meter to keep an eye on things. Yes with a on/off switch Lamont.

4. When it needs to be replaced, I'll get the battery that Lamont mentioned.
