Re: Bucking and sputtering--battery related?

In general, if everything is ok with a bike and it starts starting issue, its the BATTERY and especially if the battery is more than 3-4 yrs old. Even if you use battery tender, for a couple of times it will start the bike but then it start loosing power for a cold start (CCA). Recently, my bike was doing the same thing and with the new battery it is perfectly ok. During periods of no activity it is good to use battery tender.
