Man that's some kind of bad luck there, I've not had a fire on any of my bikes ...yet ( I guess it's like what thay say about some things.... there are those that have and those that will ). This has made an impression on me and I will take more precautions,,,maybe I'll keep more baking soda on hand , more than just what is in the fridge, ... hell, you can always clean your battery terminals with it too. Again sorry for your trouble, but thanks for posting it. Cj
