Let us know how the new battery works out, my stock one is about 2 1/2 years old and seems to struggle a bit too, even though I use a tender regularly.

Sly,
I have a good small charger and also a Battery tender. Was going to get a lithium or even a 550 amp Yuasa, but I read some where that the lithium is not ready for prime time and the 550 amp may put to much strain on my starter. Lets see how the 310 yuasa does.. Should have it by end of week . Will post next week. Stay tuned.
Also see my post about rear brake pads. Any thoughts or advise.
Thanks,
Roger

Good to know. From your description I was very confident that was the issue.
