• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Odyssey PC 680 Battery

The Odyssey PC680 seems to be the favored replacement battery for my 2011 RT.

Will I need battery terminal converters of any kind to attach it to the Spyder's electrics or will the PC680 just hook up to what is already there?
 
I put this battery in my wife's 09 GS and it lasted two rides and then crapped out. I would stay with Yuasa. Her original one lasted 5 years.

Check out my thread on the RS technical section for the problems the battery caused.

Wow, that is a deeply sorry tale but I'm pleased you got it sorted. I don't want any smart-assed battery of mine turning into an odyssey that I'm obliged to live through, my nerves are already leaning towards the shaky side and under that much stress would prolly cave in completely!

OK, I'm convinced. Do you happen to know the Yuasa battery model number I need to order to replace my 2011 RT's stock item? :f_spider:

Batteries..!!

There are quite a few out there. I do prefer the Yuasa but maybe cause I have worked with bikes for some 50 years and have never seen a problem with them. Even here without overloading or shorting or lack of maintenance they have lasted over 7 years..but it is a choice and you get what you pay for...:thumbup:
