Oil Change/ Battery solution!

So I drained all of the old engine oil from the bike a few days ago. That night I realized that if I'm going to change the oil I better change the oil filter, so I indeed ordered another filter. The filter was only about $15.00 on ebay and it looks like its been lightly used or just sitting around someones garage for a while. The filter arrived yesterday and sometime this week I plan on installing it.

The Battery!
Good news! My previous diagnosis of the battery was incorrect. I thought the $90.00 battery I bought in the summer was fried because I left it on the charger for too long, when instead the charger I was trying to use was broken. My neighbor has a small trickle battery charger that will slowly charge motorcycle batteries over the course of a night so the battery doesn't get fried by a high voltage normal charger. I plan on borrowing this charger sometime this week.
