Re: [St] Stupid question--Yuasa battery specific

[Lisa White <redriders@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to chime in on this one.  Those of us who got the 1999 STs had 
many trials and tribulations with Yuasa batteries.  In fact, I don't 
know that I got a Yuasa battery that even lasted a year. . . .  and they 
usually die at the most inopportune times.  The one on my '99 ST died 
after we rode to a friends house after work and were about to leave for 
the first ST rallye in Arkansas. Richard's ST battery died a few weeks 
later in Roswell, New Mexico, a day after at 500+ mile ride, on a Sunday 
morning, when we were leaving for Taos. It was not so dead he couldn't 
bump start the bike, so off to Walmart we went, and luckily, they had a 
battery.   I purchased my bike in March, and the battery died in 
August.  Richard purchased his in May, and his died in September. . . . .
