Battery stuff

This is a delayed update... Well, I gave up on that sealed battery from BMW of Santa Cruz. After weeks of back-order (and my bike sitting idle) I got word that the batteries they finally got have the terminals reversed.

A man can only take so much, and there was a fortuitously timed post over at ADVRider.com that mentioned another place with sealed batteries for my bike. I ordered Saturday, and rode to work on Friday. Done. The new battery (A 'Scorpion' branded product) was an easy drop-in replacement, and no more fiddling with the overflow tube.

  1. Just wanted to drop an anonymous thanks... Found your blog on a search engine, was looking for a battery for my 2002 F650cs and you sent me to a good spot. Good price, haven't plugged it in but looks like a quality battery....
