Battery might be weak

There should be a series of numbers that may still be legible that begin with a letter and end in 4 or 5 numbers. A call to Yuasa tech will get you the date of manufacture.

Hmmm, I may do that just for knowing for sure

What Will said......

Buy a YUASA..... many, I repeat... many Goldwing owners have had their original YUASA battery last 6-10 years. It's the BEST battery for our bikes.

You will replace 3-4 cheap $100 batteries in the lifespan of 1 Yuasa $150 battery. You will save money and prevent headaches with a YUASA (Don't ask how I know)
Just my 2 cents

I'm also on the OEM YUASA bandwagon as all my steel steeds have YUASA batteries in them and never had one let me down.

I replaced min 16 with a Yusa battery and I always have before on my wing's, But, I replaced mine in 2021. when I was. checking everything out this past May before cross country trip, checked the battery voltage and it 12.13, then steadily drops below 12 volts. As a retired electronics tech and mechanicing all my life, I replaced it with the above battery, Energizer. Very disappointed with Yusa!

Could it be you got a dud. I bought a 2016 last year and it looks like an original Yuasa, did a X-country last year, no problems, and will do Alaska this year with the same battery. I do keep it tendered, not sure if that makes a difference, you're the expert on that. Look at Ronald Reagan Jr., even the Gipper produces a hunk of $hyte every once in a while, then there's Patti Davis, maybe twice.

It's based on voluntary compliance, I just volunteered not to comply. My mom lives in Boynton Beach so I go down every couple of months to repair whatever then I come home to rest. Don't let DeSantis run for president, you don't want lose him. Maybe 2028 when ALL the Dems are voted out of the Fla. legislature
