    Replaced the Walmart battery PO had with OEM Yuasa Charged up 100% first and after a night on battery tender she's holding 13.3v bike off and 13.8-13.9 bike idling. Fires up in a split second. Thanks for all the great advice!

    Dad called me a few hours ago, finally got his hands on a voltimeter. Looks like battery is putting out 10 volts with bike off and 13.7-14v after he and my brother push started it down the driveway again. So its looking like a bad battery! Where do you guys recommend looking for a battery? Someone mentioned the original Yuasa as being.the best option. Any other suitable batteries you guys recommend? I am not certain where to find these batteries besides the dealership.

    I spoke with two dealerships regarding the warrenty! Turns out that on the RSTD the warranty stays with the bike! ! Mine is good till July 24th and there is no need to pay or fill out any paperwork I'm leaving the country for 6 weeks Wednesday so my pops will take it in and have them check the electrical system. *sigh of relief*

    Thanks for taking the time to help guys! Spoke with my dad a few minutes ago. He.cleaned the terminals, the ground wire terminal and put everything together. The engine continues to turn over slowly but will not fire up. He seems to think the battery is holding a charge but the starter isn't getting enough electricity. The battery is indeed a sealed battery, brand I am not sure about. I will call yamaha tomorrow and see.if I can transfer the last few months of warrenty by phone. Horrible timing as I am leaving for Europe till end of July Wednesday afternoon and working till then. Hopefully he can get the issue resolved before I return.

    Thanks a bunch for all the advice! PO purchased the bike late summer 2007 so hopefully I can transfer the remainder of the warranty and let the stealership fix it. I am completely retarded when it comes to all things mechanical /electric. Go figure I choose to be a nutritionist/PT instead of getting my:fingers-crossed-emo hands dirty. I actually had to have my brother help me change the oil on my GSXR 2x before attempting myself *cower*

    Was hoping I wouldn't have to post for advice in this section so soon after purchasing my 2005 RsTD last week. The bike has only 5400 miles. I picked it up last Friday. Rode it down to NYC where it sat in my parents garage till Tuesday. I drove over, topped off tires and air shock and rode about 400 miles. Left it parked till this morning. Today my dad went to start it to ride to work and get it inspected for me and no go, he said the battery was drained. Him and my brother push started it down my driveway and it fired up. He let it run for 15 minutes killed the engine and went to restart but the battery wasn't charging. The original owner replaced tthe battery last year and even gave me the old one. I am a complete layman when it comes to anything mechanical and really can't afford to take it to the stealership. Any advice? Only accessory iis a 12v adapter.

    I can't say I've never gone WOT on my GSXR dozens of times on open 3-4 lane highways before......my 750 topped out at 178 tho and would just bounce off the rev limiter.

    Woohoo! Rode from LI today all the way to Catskill NY, followed by Germantown, woodstock, Harriman Park, and a few other places I forgot. All in all clocked about 420 miles on the bike......I am in love

    My father rode from 14 as well till he had me and my brother and gave up riding after 20 years in hopes that my brother and I would not be attracted to motorcycling. When I turned 20 and my brother 18 he bought himself a brand new Vulcan 2000LT. My brother purchased a standard 600 shortly after. ....about 2 years later I caught the bug as well. .....fast forward three years and and someof the best father son bonding in our entire lives spawned from our mutual interest in bikes. Now we ride together as often as possible and my father has learned to embrace it. Just be a role model and make sure you pass down whatever knowledge you have accumulated over the years. Let.him learn from your mistakes and.hopefully the both of you will love every moment of it.
