Wasn't aware of the regulator/rectifier problem. Bought a motorcycle battery charger for that issue. Figured if it was just the battery, I would live with it unless it gets any worse. However, with the regulator/rectifier possibility, I will be taking it to the dealer. Now all I need to to do is try and part with it for a few days. :sad:

Peter, I wasn't aware that Yuasa made the Honda Batteries, very interesting. I just bought my bike brand new 3 months ago and noticed that it already does not seem to hold much charge. Dies after about the 3rd stop/start errand, will drain the battery to the point of not starting up if I am testing an electrical item for 3 minutes or longer with the ignition on and the engine off. This was the first bike I bought brand new. I wondered if the batteries are left out of the bike when in the showroom and the dealer installed whatever battery they had in the back when prepping it.

Love that technical answer, Rock!

Steve, Haven't tried Yuasa yet, but plan to when mine goes. http://www.yuasabatteries.com/search.asp

Tweety, sorry to hear about the bike. If you haven't already, thank the guy for being so honest.

Plus, they leak more oil than a harley. BTW Rockme, I like your end text. You should add one more to it: Prosecutors will be violated.

I'm there! thanks for the #'s. Not sure how much it normally costs to mount & balance a set of tires, but it seems like that should pay for itself within 3 sets. Not to mention avoiding the embarrassment of asking a dealer that you didn't buy the tires from to mount them. :oops:

Pete I have a Harbor Freight in my town as well. What came with the setup you bought? Did you have a part #/item description that you could post? I would be interested in purchasing this as well. Please keep us posted as to how well the setup worked out for mounting and balancing. The price you got the Z6 for is the lowest I've seen. Been searching Google on these tires. So far, there hasn't been a negative review. Most are impressed with the neutral handling characteristics, especially while leaned over.
