Don't buy that new battery yet!
As with many others, my battery on my 02 Baja just up and quit after a few rides at Pismo last weekend. I mean DEAD from one ride to the next hit of the starter. BUT DON'T BUY A NEW BATTERY YET ! All I did was pop off the "Do not remove" cap and filled the DRY cells with drinking water, put it on a 2 amp charger for 20min and BAM! back in service. It has worked fine ever since........About 10 more rides that weekend. These batteries just dry up![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

did the batteries change in '02? not positive right now, but I don't think there is any cap on my battery, I actually think its a dry cell....the paste kind.

Yes, they changed from grey to black. The new black one is higher amps and more vibration resistant. The grey one can't be opened - I tried last week!

What abought the black ones? I replased my grey one with a black one abought a year ago and am having problems with it again. I tried to pop the top srtip that apeared to be the cap and it was glued down so I left it be. It is not a factory battery but it is a yuasa same part number as factory.
