| Hello - I just bought my 2005 Silverwing last month after riding motorcycles for years. So far, I've enjoyed it more than I thought I would! Looking forward to learning more about the bike here at the forum! |

| Welcome photog57 to the best SWing site on the net. I've had my 08 SWing for two seasons now and love it. I love the simplicity of it. Just start it and go. Mine needed a new battery this spring so I put in a Battery Tender Lithium Ion battery. I got it off eBay for $99 with free shipping. It weighs 1.75 Lbs and comes with a bunch of dense foam spacers to fill in all the empty space left over in the battery compartment. There is no gel or acid to spill as it's a dry battery. It has 240 CCA which is plenty of power to start the SWing. I can check the voltage at any time and it shows 13.46 volts, give or take a couple hundredths of a volt.  |
