So im picking up my Crosscore RC today but I notice that the battery for these seems a bit hard to find. It appears to work on 4 particular models (CrossCore RC, Wabash RT, Moro and Moro Pro).
MPN: X1V-82110-00-00
SKU : YAM-X1V-82110-00-00
I see some sketchy online parts places selling them, most say out of stock and it seems like no one makes any reasonable knockoffs.
Now I'm getting the extra free battery with the current promotion (free battery & 5 year warranty extension) but don't really know what to do with it. I don't think i'll use the bike enough to need it but I feel I should hold onto it because the price is unjustifiably high for a new one. And letting it just sit around and never get used does not help it either as we know batteries degrade over time. I obviously could rotate them but....
So for the folks with Yamaha, how has the battery been and did you purchase a new one? And is everyone okay with that crazy high price of $1400+for these things?
I assume I'll keep this bike for a while and I'd hate for the battery to be obsolete and impossible to acquire within a few years.
