Need Battery Tiger 800 XC in Guanajuato
 

The battery of my Tiger 800XC is dead (un-chargeable)....the bike sat in my hotel lobby for two weeks and when I attempted to start the bike this morning it was dead. Had it charged and it would not hold a charge.....it is dead. I do not speak any useful spanish yet. Tried AutoZone in Guanajuato, they do not carry any moto batteries and they will not get me one. I am not pressed for time but would like to get going again soon. The battery and parts places are pretty much closed for the weekend so I will began looking again Monday morning.

If anyone has any usefull ideas I am all ears. It is a good bet that there is not going to be a battery for the Tiger in Guanajuato. Likely the nearest battery will be in Leon. If I locate a battery in Leon it probably will not find me until Tuesday or Wednesday. Should I order a battery on the internet and have it shipped to my hotel?

Any ideas anyone?

I am currently out of Mexico, but DO NOT hesitate to contact my Motorcycle Club (the Tuaregs) via Facebook :

We are about 400 members all over the country and I know there are a lot in the Bajío area, and for sure they can give you a hand.
And yes, most of us understand english :D

If for some remote reason you could not contact the Touaregs Community, I strongly recommend you to contact "Motomundo", which is one of the biggest retailer of motorcycle parts and accesories

Hey John,I shared your post with my contacts on FB, and a very good friend of mine contacted me about it. He is a distributor of several brands, and he happens to have some batteries in Guanajuato. He is from Texas, but delivers everywhere.
You should write him some lines regarding your battery. His email is:

Hope this helps!

Thanks Dudu,

I have sent an email to Mr. Martin and will await his reply. It would be better not to spend a day on a bus if it is not necessary.

Thanks again!
