Title: Hi performance battery
Post by: SoloRider on August 26, 2003, 12:58:12 PM
Hi,

I heard about Wesco company who makes high performance motorcycle batteries.  I want to replace the stock battery with a free-maintenance battery, but the company told me that they don't make battery for the GS500 in specific... What a shame.

Does any one know who would make a high performance/free maintenance battery for us ?

BTW: My stock 2002 battery seems to loose its power and one time it died on while I rode the bike to work.  Could this be something else that causes this rather than the battery itself.  I have a 2002 model with a little over 4K miles.

Thanks

Can you be little more specific cause I check out walmart and don't see any battery specified as ES12BS.

I noticed that Walmart has up to 9V battery, could this be a problem cause we need a 12V one ?

Please help me to find this battery.

Thanks
