Another Battery post

[C_Henry]

My bike has been in my shed for a couple of days. The last time i rode, i had no starting issues. The other day i went over to get it out for a ride, and it started fine . We then took a 10min ride around tha blocks. Stopped in to fill her up, and then it would'nt crank. It turned over , but didn't have enough to start.
My question to you is , is tha battery dead and gone and i just need another batt ? Or do i just trickle charge it for a while and that will bring it back ?
I also should add, this is the original batt . And i have a 1397 engine.

2-3 year old battery on a 1397.. I'd guess it is done. I'd consider a YTZ14s.

I'd say its toast too . Don't most people with a 1397 do a duel Battery ?

Yea, I've done a search on this and i think everybody is about 50/50 on tha 14. I may just take my chances wit another stk battery , and save a bit now.

I think there were a few defects out there at one time. I talked to two people selling them that had a complaint before I bought mine early in the year. They do have more cranking power. They are also the factory battery in a few Hondas. (ST1300 for one).

Charles Dropped shipped mine so it was fresh for sure!

if in doubt, charge it and then take the battery to a stealership to load test it to check for a bad cell. I got my battery at batteries plus... about half of what the stealership quoted me.

I'd have to agree. You can try charging it up or having it tested, but you probably need one.
