Battle of the battery

by Scooter Chick Email

I am sick of fighting with the battery in my bike. Matt's bike starts easily each week when he fires them up during cold weather but not mine. I'm on my third battery as of last weekend. First the cold weather got to it, then we bought a tender and apparently we did something wrong when we reinstalled it and the terminals started melting. So we got another battery at the beginning of this year. Two weeks ago Matt realized the terminals were melting again. We took my bike in to get a new battery and charging harness installed. I thought we were finally done with this but it turns out the harness only works with an HD charger. :cussing: Yeah so it won't connect to the one we already own. I shouldn't be surprised but I am.

When we arrived at Frieze's last Saturday they were getting ready to host a Lady's Only Garage Day. I would have loved to stay but we had too much to do. I signed up for the mailing list so I would know about the next one. I will be attending that if possible. One of the things they cover is how to properly pick up your bike by yourself. All dealerships are offering these events so get yourself to one near you!
