I bet you guys are dying to know how my battery is. Well, it's dead now. Today I went for a ride to the coast to check the rising of the sea level for myself. Kickstarted no problem. At the gasstation much to my surprise it even started electrically. Walked along the beach and returned to the bike. Kickstarted it and then went for some fried fish, returned to the bike, no idiot lights and I knew instantly it now was finally over and out. Not even idiot lights meant there was not even a chance to kick it. Fifteen meters back was a garage and two parked bikes indicated employees were bikers. They had a big battery on a servicecart, rode it out to the sidewalk, connected the cables and bike started immediately. Just as a precaution I turned the idle adjustment screw for a somewhat higher idle, so I'd be safe at traffic lights. Can't say my ride back was careless. I knew I would not have a chance to kickstart if the engine stopped. Made it home. Battery lived from september 2008 till today. I decided to see how far I could stretch it for educational reasons ofcourse. First thing I did when I was home was to fill the new still dry Yuasa that I purchased two months ago. It will be treated the same as the cheap Saito that died today. Every 5-6 weeks that I will not ride and when voltage has dropped to 12,4 V, connect to 3-stage charger and for the rest, leave it alone (no trickle charging).
