[ST] Original battery

["CAPT Howard S. Serlick USNR" <serlick@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

STeve:
	I had the original battery in my '00 ST at 32+K miles when I traded it in. I 
bought the bike (new) in November of '99 and the battery was always strong. I 
ride almost every day throughout the year like you. I wouldn't worry about the 
battery.
	When you stop briefly to top up the tank with a hot engine, the pistons and 
cylinders start to expand/contract at slightly different rates as the engine 
cools. Restarting can be a bit difficult after the oil drains away and the 
pistons expand a bit.
Keep on riding,
Howard Stephen Serlick
