I just got my wife a 2000 1200 custom,the guy said he put a new battery in it. Well the first ride was for about an hour. Then next day i took it for a ride for about an hour everything still good. Then we went out for about 3 hours and we stopped and i noticed her battery was leaking, so we got home i took battery out cleaned everything up the neg battery cable was a little loose the battery is an energizer 20l-bs. I took the caps off and the each end holes were full but the rest werent,i dont know if the guy didnt fill it correctly or even if your supposed to take the caps off,or he did fill it incorrectly and didnt charge it and when we rode it and it charged and got hot it just overflowed.i guess my question is ,is the battery junk or can i refill it charge it off the bike and see if it leaks or what i have a couple of days before we go on a ride any suggestions? And yes i did read the tips about batteries
