RE: [ST] Batteries

["Big Riff" <big_riff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My advice is to use a Battery Tender.  Whenever I'm not riding the Battery 
Tender is plugged in and I have never had a problem with the original 
battery on my '01 ST.  I jack it right into the accessory outlet, so I don't 
even have to remove the seat!  I've used this method on my Harley which 
doesn't get ridden as much and has a notoriously weak charging system and 
alternater, and that battery is in it's fifth year.
