    Re: Battery

    Yuasa AGM
    I may have one in stock for you if you're in close to Watertown, MA.

    If you have a GSXR600 '97-'07 I can have an AGM ready within 2 hours.

    Re: Battery

    I also just purchased one of the Bikemaster Tru gel's and I have no complaints so far. It was $109.00 for an R1 so I'd imagine you could get one for much cheaper for a 600.

    Re: Battery

    If you have a Batteries Plus near you, they've been pretty good on price, I've purchased two from them with no issues.

    Re: Battery

    Get the Yuasa...they are the best in my opinion. My VFR's cost an arm and a leg at close to $180

    You were asking for me to figure out something different than what is specified.

    Re: Battery

    Yuasa AGM... foolproof! The best $90 I've spent on her so far.

    My little Cagiva has a weak charging system, so I keep her on the smart tender most of the time. No worries about overdoing it. Fires right up at nearly 15 volts... big spark and fast starter rpms.

    I'll be getting one for my VFR next month.

    Our info and hours are here: DUNCANMOTO
    Give me a call Monday 2-7pm. with a credit card and I'll activate the battery for you. It's a 2 hour process with a 5 phaze shop charger.

    If you ride out you can change your battery out on the spot. We have tools.

    Re: Battery

    I've always had Yuasa with good luck. I always keep the battery tender on them for the winter and my '02 Shadow still has the original. I replaced the one in my '98 Superhawk three 3 or 4 years ago.

    How much for a YTX12-BS/MG12-BS Truegel? My cheapo ebay Chinese battery from last year must be shorting itself out.

    It's probably not the right battery for the bike..
