Cheri, I feel your pain. my battery died while we were on our trip last week. It was a giant PITA because we couldn't push-start it (we tried) and had to have it towed to a Yamaha dealer (the only motorcycle shop in miles and miles). The mechanic there told me that these batteries can really have problems holding a charge, and he recommended keeping a trickle charger on it ALL THE TIME! I've never used one, not even during the winter when the bike can sit in the cold garage without being started for a month at a time. I'm not so sure what I think about his advice, but that darned battery cost me so much that I'm going to take care of it.
