What's your definition of a "high speed run"?

Question.
The local Wal-Mart is closing out some of its motorcycle batteries. I can
buy a battery for the GTS for about $35 (normally about $62) It is a
Champion brand with the acid in a neat little "six pack".
Is it worth my money to buy a battery that I won't need for at least a few
years? W

Tim, the battery will keep for a reasonable length of time, but not
forever. The real issue is that you NOT do the initial service until
you're ready to use it, and it sounds like you already know that.
The battery should have a manufacture date on it. The owner's manual will
give you longer i

I think the battery I purchased for my GTS cost me ~$45. From my dealer. It is
the same battery used in some of the Honda ATV's so they should have it in stock
if they are a Honda dealer. Because of the warranty starting at the time of
purchase I wouldn't purchase it. If the battery is damaged

Seems like when I replaced my battery, it was listed as a 'gel' cell
battery. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I kind of got the
impression that the acid is suspended in 'gel, thereby reducing splash
or spilling if the bike tips over or hits big bumps in the road. I was

My understanding was that it is a sealed maintenance free battery. Not a

This is a "sealed" battery but you as the consumer seal it after you put the
acid in. My Yamaha dealer has then in stock for $73.

We Miata owners know about gel cell batteries. They don't last any longer,
but cost a bunch more. The reason in the Miata is because the battery is in
the trunk, a bad place for an acid spill. No motorcycle I'm aware of ever has
had a gel cell stock. There are some solid state replacements, but
Of all the bikes and batteries I've had over the last 27 years the OEM GTS
battery has lasted the longest and held charge the best. I would replace it
with the original. I have load tested a six and seven year old OEM
batteries. They still have 80% of original cranking amps. Stan

If you invest the $35 at 15% compound interest (stock mutual fund) it's
worth $70 in 5 years, and it's still worth $70 even if the GTS isn't around
to need a new battery.
I've made the corrections to the owners list that I updated a couple of
weeks ago. My apologies to the couple of people that sent email
expressing dismay about not being included on the list. I had updated it
to the worng :) subdirectory on my server and you-all were still reading
