leaking battery

[Dan McNally]

Just for fun I googled "Motobatt leaking" and the second from the top was I thought appropriate for this thread:

Sorry Dan....

Did you read the first reply from someone going by "Banditrod" . . ." i have been through 3 of thise peices of :cus: in my gixxer in the last 3 years TK so i know where you are coming from" . . . I wonder how many more ole Banditrod will buy before he figures out that: "thise peices of :cus: in my gixxer" really are "pieces of :cus:." opcorn:

Screw kindness!!!!! Lol... This will be 2-3 weeks of lost ride time. I'd be inserting my foot in someone's arse....

that was my first instinct, but then you jacked around harder. got to take the high road to try and collect on the damage. this is a good reason to NEVER buy stuff online.

Leaking battery is really bad. AGM battery is on my list.

AGM BATTERY

Leaking battery is really bad. AGM battery is on my list.

all spyder batteries are agm. they have to be, they lay on their side, at least gs/rs 2012 -2008 do. the leak is caused by overfilling at the factory to the point that the internal safety cannot handle it. then it pees.:roflblack:

I don't know who makes Harley Davidson batteries, but those suckers last. I bought my '07 Road Glide in Sep '06 and sold it in May '13 and the battery was still going strong. I did have to replace the battery in my '04 Sportster this summer after nine years. I've heard YUASA makes them, but can't confirm that.

motobatt stands tall

i received my new parts today, as promised, to replace the ones damaged by my leaking battery. big thanks to Smokey White at motobatt for getting it done. that's pretty good customer service.:thumbup:
