that's not a good trade....
Oh well, it was the best I could do at the time ;-)
that's not a good trade....
The NT starts so fast that I didn't realize the battery was weak until the clock reset on me. ARKNT made the previous statement about how quickly his NT starts. My NT usually never starts on the first 2 - 3 times that the engine turns over. I usually release the start switch at that point and after a few seconds I will crank it again and after 2 - 3 turns of the engine it will start. Is this what others experience or do I need to have my bike looked at?
And as a side note while at the Suzuki/Yamaha/Victory dealer they showed me the new Lithium battery for motorcycles. When they handed it to me I thought it was a demo battery because it was so light. They said they're kind of pricey now but eventually all bikes will be using the Lithium and prices will go down.

What is the part number?
Thanks Mike, I may be looking at one of those.
I took the battery out of my NT last fall (as usual) for winter storage. But this time I installed it in my construction trailer to run the interior lights. I plan to get a new one for the NT next spring.
Question Mike - My local parts store is Parts City. Isn't that a sub-division of O'Reilly?
Yeah, these things are feather-light. I have a couple of them. The only weakness of these types is cold-weather starting (i.e., temps below ~40 degF need a bit of technique ), but this has been improving lately. On my FJR the weight differential is over 8 pounds.
Not too unproven. Several folks I know of who had the Shorai could not start their bikes in below freezing conditions.
Rich,
How low a temp have you operated with your Lithium battery. I will be needing a new one this year and have thought about one of those.
