Re: [St] Stupid question.. update



Thanks for all the input, folks. As expected, the battery came back to life, didnt strand me anywhere, and the light went out in two heat cycles. That is the original battery and the bike is an 02, I will test it with a battery tester and try to get the remainder of the season out of it...
