any idea where i can find out more information about this? my plates are NJ, not NY. if i had to guess i'd say it's not going to matter and the DMV people from both states are playing patty-cake together conspiring about how to steal the most money from residents of both states, but i'd love to know for sure before i toss $125 into the maw

You can check NY here

I think this may be the Jersey one.

I just bought a Yuasa 12V for the GT250 and I didn't realize the electrolyte has to be ordered separately.

Any help appreciated.

I thought they gave you the little pouch of acid and you had to add distilled water to make the electrolyte. Where did you buy it?

$350 the last time I checked.

It doesn't matter what state the plate is from. If you rack up tickets in NY, whatever comes up under your name is fair game. Even limo companies that owe tickets can have any one of their fleet cars taken. That's how it works. Do yourself a favor and pay the fine. Long after you forget about that ticket, you will be reminded when your car or bike is taken and costs you twice as much to get it back.

Not to mention it will get towed at the absolutely most inopportune time. Especially if you're running late.

So...long story short...I guess just take the train eh?

there are a lot of threads here on "what can we get away with?". lots until that day you get caught. then those 364 days of "good i got away with it" get forgotten for that one day where it all went wrong and costs you dollars.

i get it, you want to ride. you want somewhere to park. this city doesn't lend itself to it. i despise it. hence why i don't bother too often to ride and park anywhere. if it isn't the law its the fucktards stealing, vandalizing or not realizing there's an object in their path in their quest for the close parking spot to their building.

you can't win in this city unless you have some form of private secured parking. that usually costs you money. and certainly isn't a 100% guarentee of carefree living. my bikes are secured. i still check on them more often then should be necessary. but don't worry; i pay for it by nutsacks trying to break into my brand new vehicle. to steal what? a dirt helmet? certainly not the car; it won't go anywhere without the key fob. you can't win in this shithole of a city.

/rant over.

Dude, life's way too fucking short to spend any of it in a place you detest. Just sayin'

I bought it online from 2wheelpros, none of the online sites carry the acid, this site didn't say it didn't. Ill call Them and see what they say but this sucks now more waiting time for this. I might just return it if I have to fork over another $25-$30 and get a sealed Shorai.

wow, that is the dumbest move ever. what's next? admitting paternity of the friend's illegitimate child?

i have an old standard battery that's f-ed up but its only a year old. i can drain it and you can take the acid.

Few batteries come with acid when ordering online...unless it specifically says so.

Good news is you can buy electrolite at any auto parts store, they even have smaller packs for motorcycles. Will cost about $10

When I helped a Canadian with his bike last summer we went to 125th street in da city and purchased a battery that came with the electrolyte pack.

Also, just bought a new Odyssey and no need for acid...

If anyone is wanting a motobatt battery I have a credit through them for 3 batteries. George just got one from me.

Some dipshit decided to pack 4 of them in one box and shipped em to me that way a while back, surprise, all of em were broken. Didn't have time to have them resend em so I bought 4 batteries locally and sent the motobatts back.

Anyway, have a credit for 3 left. I'll save one for myself after the winter.

Hey guys, anyone know where I could get precut to my specs, finished lumber?

I'm wanting to put together a storage bed frame and the ones I looked at are awfully expensive and I do not want a piece of ikea crap. I have a great idea in my head that I would like, just need the wood.

Too bad you didn't mention the batteries before, I just bought one

At the very least you should have a cover & disc lock on standby
just in case you ever change your mind...

[Detale]

I swear that's one of the reasons I started riding into the city
