Did you have larger cables put on ypur Classic? As i seen the otjer one and no matter what battery yoi use it still won't start until you put the beast back together.

That beong said along time aho a awnry cus recommended a speed cell battery as a second battery. 3 regular batteries later and that speed cell is still kicking. That was 2010 and all I can say is dang Art you recommended a good battery. Not I run two batteries.

YES the Battery makers give me them to test on the big modded Rockets

starter upgrade ftw.

no need for a 2nd battery, or lithium battery etc. that was the answer i was looking for when starting the thread really

Motobatt all the way, but with ground cable and starter upgrade, probably any decent battery OK, I never had any cranking issues.

Edit: Posted before I read your post, I'd find the issue, do you have an alarm? Mine sits a month or more, still starts no problem, even when it had a 5 or 6 year old stock battery, something else is going on.

No, I do not have an alarm. Good question.

What is the Starter Upgrade and do you guys think it would be a help?

All I needed was the extra cable going to the ground. Cheap and quick fix. 1 battery turns over the 265 hp motor like it was nothing. Fast starts every time.

i had the big extra cable...

Go to the last page, first post has wrong part number, still can't figure out why mod or webmaster can't change it. Much cheaper than Triumph, too
