Maintenance, Servicing, and Mechanical / Re: What battery do you recommend?
« Last post by STJIM on Today at 12:22 pm »
I'll chime-in here : 

IMHO opinion lithium batteries are way over-rated and too expensive for my budget.  A good AGM battery is more than plenty good. I buy the cheapest AGM batteries I can find online and have never had a problem with one ( yet ) over the last 12 years.  I do admit I'm a PM freak and replace my batteries every 5 years or so, even if they are testing "good'.  Why wait for a failure on the road hundreds of miles from home ?

I keep the old batteries on a maintainer as a spare, just in case.  I admit I do have some 10 year old used spare AGM batteries that are still testing "good".

Don't ask me how a hand-held tester can load test a battery - it must be magic.

I have a battery tester like this one :  https://www.ebay.com/itm/195713132142?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=neufwymfqag&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Just curious,  how much volatage was "lost" ?

And BTW, you can buy a small , hand-held battery tester for about $20.  Saves a lot of guess work.

I had a spare key made for my top box & gas cap ( no RFID chip inside ).

I tried starting the bike with this "dummy ( non-RFID ) key".  Everything seemed to power-up when I inserted it and turned it to the "Run" position but the starter wouldn't engage.

So , I believe you could have an RFID key cloned by a good locksmith.   There is a big locksmith company in Grand Rapids that has an expensive machine that can read the RFID code.  Then they have a new key made by someone else in the country.  It takes a few weeks to get the nrw key after they supply the RFID code.

So having a new key made isn't as difficult as it is with some other makes of motorcycles.   The new key doesn't need to be "registered" into the immobilizer or ECM, I believe.

I bet Digital can verify this ( or not ).
