The old battery has given up the ghost, has anyone replaced the standard battery with a Yuasa? or can you think of a better battery without spending an arm and a leg ??

07 zx14 oggy knobs, m4 twin slip on, carbon wrap tank protector, ventura rack, soon to have a rad guard black,

You may find a lot cheaper if you search.

This is from Shorai's site.

It's tiny. Will require some simple mod of the battery tray to hold securely. I have a tutorila in How-Tos/ weighs about a pound and a quarter, I think. Have mine for 3 years. Has outlasted the stocker. works as good as OEM.

Go to a 18 ah if you want a little more zing on startup. Still very light weight.

You will need to buy a Shorai maintainer. $80.

has been numerous threads on this board about Shorai. SOme positive reviews and some negative.

If you don't want a Shorai, or equivalent, don't cheap out on a lead acid either. At least go with a true gel battery. It will last twice as long.

Before your criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and have their shoes.

Bought a lifetime batt. from cycle gear. The last one went 3 years, as soon as I got a small hickup they replaced it with a new one no questions. 89 dollars and I will never buy another batt.

To much to list!

SWEET!

Tell ya the truth< i did not actually feel the weight loss. After dropping off so much weight from the bike, even 10 lbs does not feel like a lot. But OI know it's there and a major contributor to the overall reduction in weight from stock.

Use a Shorai charger and put it in charge mode for a day before starting the bike if the bike was stored. Use the charger on Maintain mode during storage. It will crank like new.
