Here's another one for the tightwads like me- NTVs are a bit critical when it comes to battery power. Mr Honda slotted in a little battery, perhaps forgetting that 325cc cylinders need a bit of womph to turn them over. No problem in summer, but in winter it can be a bit of a slog. However, before binning your old battery for a new unit when it starts getting a bit weak, you might try servicing it. You can't, I hear you say, because it's maintenance free. Well, I levered off the top (starting with a sharp blade) of the battery and found that the acid was well down. I topped it up with distilled water and presto!- worked like new. I got suspicious and so checked the charging voltage- it was spot on. So it looks like your super whizzbang maintenance free batteries aren't really what they say on the tin. Worth a try before you fork out for a new battery- what you got to lose? Bill
