X3.

Keep it on a Battery Tender when not riding.  Usual life is about 4 years, like 2Lane said - when it goes weak, time to replace.

I still buy the Harley batteries, however tend to have to agree with Two lane to replace on a schedule before you are stranded.  Mine died at a gas stop in PA while we were on way to Chappy'sfuneral last year.  Lucky for me we were within ten minutes of a dealer and  GH took my old one and picked up a new one for me.  By the way it was my original battery and yes I waited to long.  Always keep n battery tender when not in use.
your bike is an 06 correct? is your battery 9 yrs old? ???

Found it on Amazon for about $150.  :2vrolijk_21:

  With 500 cranking amps, I am going to give the Yuasa GYZ32HL a try.

I had the Big Crank from www.Batterymart.com in my old bike. It's really a re-branded Deka AGM battery. About $85 delivered in a couple days. Had it in there three years when I traded the bike.

You may want to bite the bullet and get one before it goes south.  Speaking from experience it will let you down when you least expect it.

Thanks for that bit of info. I already forgot the code I programmed in the bike.
