I have a battery tender on the bike at all times since parking it for the snow. Problem is, when I start it once a week the battery doesn't have the nuts to start it and I have to hit it with a 50amp start cart. I read today in another thread to cycle the key a few times to get the fuel pumps building pressure. I'll have to try that next week and see if it works. Any one else having doubts about the quality of the stock battery? I might get 10-15 seconds of crank time in 32 degree weather even with a tender. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and buy a better battery than came with it stock. Any suggestions? Do they make one of those high output gel-cells for bikes? I'll have to look into that.
