There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

120° heat kills me too. nojoke
I ordered a new off brand battery from Walmart as the that was the only place get it delivered by Friday(I am leaving on Saturday for California) and I will try putting a battery tender on it. I was thinking it would not help because it’s the chemical part of battery that’s changed by heat.
I am lost now.
last night while I was getting ready for long trip, I found a loose cable that goes into HID module for fog light.
I secured it, put everything back together and now the battery is holding charge again.
I had it jumped yesterday to move it, didn't go far parked it and tonight, its starting right up.
It did not crank after sitting for couple of hours when problem started.
could it be that loose cable to HID fog light was draining that much electricity?
I received the off brand replacement battery from Walmart but now I don't know if I want to replace the yuasa with it.
its a $60 off brand battery that I had to get because that's the only thing I could have delivered by today before leaving tomorrow.
what's the shelf life of motorcycle battery? I was thinking I would keep it just in case.

A meter reading doesn't tell you anything. A load test is what's needed

I had to replace my OEM battery yesterday after just over 4 years (but I ryde almost daily). The techie says I got top life out of it; that's the most they're good for (sez he). It's been cranking over kinda weakly for the last couple months now, but the new one spins it good.
And we've had triple-digit heat here for the last 45-60 days! Mine is parked in shade, but no cover.
