Whatever it is, being a brand new bike, then the warranty should cover it unless the fine print says batteries excluded. Any warranty expert out there?
Ryan is right. The battery installed should be sealed with no caps or plugs leading to the cells. If your bike has a wet battery installed then your dealer/seller has a lot of explaining to do!!
I have not heard of one of these batteries leaking before this. They are sealed gel cells and should never leak.
You must take this to your dealer for warranty. I hope nothing has been damaged.
These batteries are constructed to be mounted horizontally so don't worry about the internals. There is also a thread here somewhere about an orange battery that is highly regarded as a replacement. I can't remember the name but I will be looking for one when the time comes for my bike!
Care to choose one? There is another clue floating around that should narrow it down. Then all someone needs to do is put that together with the other half and we'll have a winner!!
No, but I do know that the new importers for Canada are looking for one to race this season and since I wouldn't give them mine maybe they went shopping in Newcastle.
Ok. Someone has guessed the motor correctly and now you have one of the correct initials. Now all you have to do is search for a bike that matches the other initial. It's not that hard, is it?
When i did put it on a dyno the sound truly was incredible. I work around helicopter for a living and the MGS on the dyno had the same feeling as standing beside a helicopter running up at 3000 horsepower. I'll let you know next time I have it on a dyno.
