Hopper, you may want to try giving that AGM a high-current charge, before giving up on it. My understanding is that, for most AGM batteries, a tender may maintain a charge, but will not charge it up. Those can take very high current for charging.

I think the battery (an AGM type of unknown age) on my ST4s is going south too. I'm gone a lot on the rigs so it sits either hooked up to a Battery Tender or not. Seems to be harder and harder to get her fired each time I get in.

I plan on getting one of the new state of the art batteries so I'm all ears on any feedback too.

Hey Fellow listers,

So, the AGM battery in my 4$ has died in less than 2 years, funny OEM one lasted 6 years (but it probably needed replacement at 5) Alternating bikes, sports car and work road trips means she sits too much.

Anyone gone with the LiFe battery? I know what all the lit says, anyone with real experience on an ST?
