It appears the battery is dead on my `04 Multi, tried charging it with a battery tender and than a larger amperage charger, nothing but a click. Any ideas on replacement batteries to the OEM GT12B-4?

Thanks,

Just entered a write-up in Halls of Wisdom.
It could be the battery. Make sure the battery connections are clean and tight. I've seen perfectly good batteries "die", but it was merely a SMALL amount of corrosion at the terminals. Remove both - and +, wire brush, apply some dielectric (bulb) grease, and put back together VERY SNUG. Put back + first, - last. This helps reduce the chance of swinging wrench hitting the chassis somewhere, and sparks flying, and toasting something.

If everything is clean & tight, try CAREFULLY jump starting it with booster cables from another battery or car. Just to see if you can get some life from the starter button...

If not, you have other issues.

Thanks. It ended up being a dead battery.

Good points, I've learned the lesson on slightly loose connections causing problems especially on new bikes with all the electronics. My Aprilia RSV would cut out when accelerating hard at the track, after checking every other connections and possibly source of killing the ignition, it finally turned out to be a slightly loose positive terminal. Half a day of track time wasted.

I end up with a Yuasa to replace the GS OEM.
