Yeah, extra lights on front, but I turn them off to start.

It has been noted before that at idle, your battery is discharging (or near it) if you have driving lights installed and running.

You say you're taking short trips, I just wonder if you're not getting a good enough recharge with those lights on.

Just a thought.

I was able to put the PC625 in my bike with little modification. Basically just had to bend the bottom of the battery holder out a bit so the battery would slide in all the way. Really not too difficult and makes a ton of difference in cranking power.

Cool. Btw, you have a Touring, or shouldn't make a difference? Was pissed off I couldn't ride it when I wanted to, but more concerned about getting stuck in the mountains or middle of nowhere on a trip.

Good thought. That might be part of the problem. Should have taken it for a nice ride yesterday but got caught up w/ chores. I'll let you know if the B tender does not do the trick for some reason. tanx

Oh, and once you go PC625, you'll never go back.

But, I believe it has also been reported that if you don't have a specific voltage running to your battery while in operation, you end up with a very expensive battery that works the same as a regular battery would.

I can't recall the specifics though.

****, anyone know the answer to this? Obviously I don't want to bother if it's not going to help. Does the Touring stock have the right voltage for the PC625?

If a PC 625 offers almost twice the cranking amps as a stock Yuasa, you can get one of those for less than a stock Yuasa which online costs around $105.00. I didn't shop around much for the battery, but that was direct from Yuasa! I saw a PC 625 for around $85.00 online.

Ive heated grips and use a trickle charger from time to time in winter when it is below zero. Starts ok. But use short bursts with no throttle.

0 is a far cry from low 40's, and that was my point/concern. I assume you have that bigger battery, right?
