#176379 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Any Body using this Battery? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   My old battery is going on 4 years old and this last winter it had a hard time craking it over. I bught this one on e-bay today. It is a 320 CCA so it should turn it over real good. The price wasn't bad $79.95. Just wondered if any one else has one and what they thought of it.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #176382 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Any Body using this Battery? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Looks good Curt, this will probably be my next..........Batt   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #176383 Clifford (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1781 Re:Any Body using this Battery? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Never heard of that brand. The OEM battery is a Yuasa YTX20L which is 270 CCA. Yuasa also has a YTX20HL which is 320 CCA. The H in the designation means "high performance". What you have is probably the equivalent of the YTX20HL. Clifford   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #176393 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Any Body using this Battery? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Clifford that is what I thought too. I don't know what the Yuasa sells for but this one has a 2 year warranty and is a four post. It fits the R* and is a sealed battery. I have a feeling the Yuasa is a bunch more and with this a 320 CCA I just had to give it a try money is to tight right now. I will let everyone know how it holds up. Just wondered if anyone else had tried it. It is like the YTX20HL.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #176448 Capt.Kirk (User) "Beam me up Scotty and keep it on two wheels" Gold Boarder Posts: 839 Re:Any Body using this Battery? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Hi Curt; I bought a Westco battery that is 320CCA. It replaced a battery that was only 18 months old. Really cranks the motor over easily. It also was $79.95 with free shipping. Seems like the stock battery just doesn't cut the mustard when you add passing lamps and extras.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #176528 SaltyJack (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 236 Re:Any Body using this Battery? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Curt: I was just checking out some batteries, found out that Wal-Mart has one that is the NEW technology. Its an AGM (Absorbed Glass Matt), YTX20L BS, here it sells for 140$. It states that it holds its specific gravity 3 times longer than conventional types. Lots of cranking power, it gets cool here and I found that its a bit slow in cranking, the one I have now so was thinking I'm ready to invest, may save prob later on.

I have an 08 model and the OEM battery for it is GT14B-4 which is smaller than the YTX20L. My battery compartment won't hold a bigger sized battery. Also, I've never felt that the battery cranks the engine fast enough.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/03/24 01:41 By bubba123.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #178370 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Any Body using this Battery? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   YAHOOOOOOOOOOOO put the new battery in and boy does that puppy really crank now!!! After it is warmed up I barely hit the button and she is fired up and idling. Man those 320 cranking amps are really sweet. No more UH UH UH! smith1j the reasone the 08 have a smaller battery is because of the electonics that the fuel injection has. They had to get some room for it somewhere so the did it with the battery. Sorry guy!   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/03/26 21:54 By Curt.   My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #178375 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first.

Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Any Body using this Battery? 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Will do GS it won't take me long as I run my passing lamps all the time and have rear running lits and the tach light too. Going to be in the low 30's Saturday so I will test it from a cold start then.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access.
