Title: dumb question: where to buy new battery?
Post by: jpeleven2002 on October 04, 2011, 08:40:46 PM
yup, I asked.  First time having to replace a battery.  Searching the web sites of the local auto parts, I never saw anything about motorcycle batteries.  Maybe I missed it?  Do I have to go trough the dealer?

If you don't want to wait they sell them at walmart, however Terry sells a better battery.

I got my battery at oreiley auto parts, seems to work well even in cold weather when the bike was running better than it currently is. I was able to start my bike at 32F in the morning. Now the bike is having some troubles though it is near impossible to start at these temps...

I bought a "Motobatt" battery off Amazon for my wifes V-twin Sabre based on a recommendation, and it seems like a good battery at a reasonable price

Here (http://www.amazon.com/MBTX12U-MotoBatt-Quadflex-YTX14H-BS-YTX14L-BS/dp/B003YMRH70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319127738&sr=8-1) is the "Motobatt" Battery.. It is a multi-application. It comes with top or side mount and a couple of boosters for the bottom to make the battery taller.
