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



Interesting. My 01 had the same Yuasa in it that came in it (per the prev owner). And my Honda before that had two Yuasas both lasted for years. I have had my 01 for roughly four years. 
 
I just threw in a Yuasa this season as it was time to replace the batt because it was showing classic signs of getting low (not holding charge as well). 
 
OK, I appreciate the info. I will keep an eye out.

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. . . . .
