no start after battery change - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Ive had my '92 for almost 2 years and have never had a problem with it not starting, until recently, when I foind that after a day or two of sitting the battery would be dead. After charging it up it would start right up,but then be dead a day or two later, so I took it to my mechanic and had them test the battery, which they said was not holding a charge, so I had them put in a new one. Problem solced, I thought..but then they called me and said it wouldn't crank ??? Not the Vats, becasue the security light goes outwitthe key in.. He says it must be the starter which is very expensive to replace ($500 for the starter and like 4.5 hr sor $500 for labor),but couldit be somethng simpler,and/or related to the battery change since it dis always work fine before when the battery was charged?
