yeeeeeup.....now into the 7th season on the ORIGINAL Yuasa battery on my 650......amazing!

after changing, there was some "smoothing out" evident. Even as it was, prior to change, always started touch of the button, idled/accelerated perfectly fine. Though slow changes are hard to quantify, renewing the filter with changes/improvements became obvious.

with 9600 miles I chose to inspect the air filter on my '19 CBR650R (prior to automatically replacing it at the 12,000 mile spec listed in the manual)......and SO glad i did !!! A pic of what i found, also leaves and bugs found in the airbox! After wiping out airbox, replacing with brand new...

A marine set o Keihins.......carb #3 removed for clearing

+9600 miles on my '19 CBR650R at this time....totally trouble free, starts at touch of the button, idles, accelerates perfectly, consistently. Zero mods (aside from the LED voltmeter) and still running the originally supplied AGM Yuasa battery.

suggest using a commercially available liquid tire lube, amazing stuff, enables much less effort required. I've actually mounted certain tires by hand (yes, you read that correctly) Google it.

pic of carbs on firetruck after refurb..................................providing proof

been quite awhile......find myself doing some non-bike carbs.....Strombergs off a firetruck (yes you read that correctly)..... and a 1971 MG with SU carbset. Cheers!

going into my 6th season in '24.....original AGM battery, zero issues, starts, runs, accelerates perfectly. This Honda is a total winner, amazing lack of maintenance requirements with just 8900 miles (as I own 2 other street legal Ducati's)

https://www.ducati.ms/threads/platinum-and-iridium-sparkplugs.70575/ quite a revealing article......give a read

and back 'atcha @miweber929 !

still on the original battery on my '19 though it spends winters indoors in my basement (charged monthly while in storage) (Current mileage 8700)

frankly, at near 72 years old, my bike purchasing/replacing days are long over. 3 registered, insured and legal runners currently in my possesion are more than enough to keep my attention.

todays victims, EX250 s

today completed an EX500 Kawasaki full refurb, were in my possession less than 24 hours!

currently doing a full refurb on another 900SS Ducati carbset....awaiting delivery of requested sized main jets and i'll be done. Comin' out nice, eh?

I like the 3 color changes signaling degrading voltage drops. Or, for example....showing (highly unlikely) gradual lower output from the FH027 Shindengen regulator on the Honda. In the case of a broken wire connection....an immediate flashing red. In anything other than normal green.....HEAD...

WHY? Its visually minimal....all you see is a small LED (which displays certain colors based on charging system voltage) thus no need to "crunch numbers" while riding. Absolutely based on my personal preference. Voltage Table • Flashing Green Above - 15.2V • Steady Green 12.9V - 15.1V •...

to my '19 CBR650R...... a Signal Dynamics Voltage Monitor, functioning perfectly. Still utilizing original, factory battery, too!
