I'm not sure why this one acted up prematurely, and am actually tempted to put it back in now that it's been nursed by the battery tender. Wet Cell batteries suck in a bike. Not only do you have to worry about your exhaust tube becoming disconnected dropping acid onto your frame, but if you drop your bike, you risk splashing acid all over the place. At least once a year, you also have to remember to refill your battery with distilled water, or it will just cook and die. I ended up silicone gluing my exhaust port when I first bought the bike because it never stayed in properly, but it appears to have been a routing issue that I *hope* I fixed.

Is the gell cell battery or the acid battery the way to go? I really liked the Optima batteries when I raced stock cars. Gel cells seem to make sense for motorcycles but I haven't tried one yet. <em>Allen's last blog post..<a href='http://allenmadding.blogspot.com/2008/04/motorhome-racing.html' rel="nofollow">Motorhome Racing</a></em> So what’s your take?
