I got the new Shorai Lithium Iron Battery. (LFX18A1-BS12) This new technology is really cool. The battery is so lite it's kind of spooky. The new charger inspires much confidence also. You can install the tending cable permanently, which will make it easier to keep it "Tending" without having...

Robert, manual downloaded. You are close. If the voltage check (@ 5000 rpm) is < 13.4 V or > 15.1, I am to check the regulator / rectifier. New Lithium battery on the way (w/special charger/maintainer). I'll give all this a try. Thanks for everyone's inputs on this. :thumbsup:

Rusheriv, I like those Shorais, it's smaller so they send like little foam (whatever material) to take up the space, right? I think I read somewhere that the Ballistic Batteries may not exactly fit, and required some mods to the frame :crowbar: I don't want any part of altering the frame to...

Argilbertson, that's what I'm afraid of. How much of a pain is it to replace the stator? This whole thing bothers me because; I kind of new the battery might be no good, because it sat all winter, and I didn't do anything to maintain it (like a dummy). So, it really bothers me that it would...

Well I wasn't using cheap cables from walmart, but I could hardly get the clamps on the battery terminals, so the positive clamp was barely on there. I'm hoping I didn't do any damage. I'm still waiting for the new Lithium battery, so I sure hope it fires up when I put it in. I don't even...

Yes, a new battery is shall be! I don't want to take any chances with that old thing leaving me walking again (the battery, not the Busa!) I just have to decide on which of the Lithium batteries to get. Ballistic or Shorai. Thanks for your inputs. Being able to pick your collective brains...

Which might be the better choice? Shorai, or Ballistic EVo2? (I hate battery trouble!)

Thanks guys. Yeah, I believe I got myself into that situation because I did not pay enough attention to the battery during the winter months. There must have been just enough juice to start it once or twice, then failed completely. It's just weird that it would not keep running (as other bike...

Guys, do these batteries fail so completely, that even if you jumped it, it stopped as soon as jumper is removed? OK, I'm pretty certain that the battery is dead, but usually (historically), if I was able to get it started, at least I could ride it home. Today, my 2000 Busa quit. OK, I really...
