All batteries are new and dont expire unless charged. Out of all the batteries there is only one listed that is charged. They dont start there life cycle untill you intialize and charge them. Most of the tires have been on the shelf for less then a year. There are a few odd ones that are a...

FSM has been in business since 2006, with 13 years of buying and selling there is a lot of inventory :)

+1 for Snow City. But really any dealer can do your recall so I would go with convenience and chose the one that's closest to you. Until you have a personal experience at a dealership take everything you read on the net with a grain of salt. If you ever have a problem complain to Kawasaki...

forget Daymak there impossible to get parts for unless you order out of the country. Look for a Yamaha BW50 you can pick one up for $500-1000. If you break something you can have parts in 1-2 days. I picked up my current 03 for $500. My insurance is around $300 for the year. I've put over...

When the acid is added a chemical reaction (the heat) needs to happen before charging. There is a chemical coating the plates that acts both as an activator and life extender of the battery. There are also separators between the plates that need time to absorb the acid in the op's battery...

Take it back to Canadian tire and have them load test it. The battery is still under warranty if its pooched they should give you a new one. If they give you a new one make sure they charge it properly. Battery needs to be filled, left for an hour then charged. If they fill and charge...

Sounds like your newish battery is done. How old is it? Most lead batteries should last 2-4 years if properly maintained. If the battery has sat for a long period with out use or charging it could be replacement time.

havent yet trying to sell my BMW R90 first. But want a moto Guzzi V7 Classic thats sitting at a dealer ship new thats less then I've seen used ones here

How old is the tire? if its the original tire from 07 or possibly 06 just replace it. Tires are cheaper then body work or broken bones

battery should only be topped up with distilled water. If its new why does it need to be topped up already? White coating can be a chemical called sulfation stop thats there to slow sulfation.
