Did what the web linky said - match CCA shit to what a standard is. Plus if the previous KB threads on the new fancy pants batteries is true the worst thing you can do is insert a under rated one as it will not cope. Mottobatts use some fancy pants sealed gel fibre stuff apparently, can be mounted anyway up or down! The are standard battery size though so no extra room for sammies.
Yeh, if they need over 240CCA then the big-un is the go, I just thought the 250CCA+ was up there and only for large v-twins or 1400cc+ sizes. Looks like other sites recommend 210CCA batteries for it, so maybe it just has an overrated one in there currently? Maybe even downsize by two metric sammiches with the medium option...

Nothing fancy, just absorbed glass matt.
My ZX6thing has a Motobatt and a bit smaller than recommended size so I would fit it in funny places (down my pants and stuff), current record is 6 months hooked up on the bike without starteng, still turned over fine at just over 10v and fired up when the fuel got there eventually
Best $72 I ever spent, I reckon.
Yeah. The Motobatt in my ol' RF is a few years old now. Been well and truely neglected, and still turned my tractor over for ten or fifteen minutes before it started. And that thing runs a bigger starter than a Hilman avenger.
Turned the CBR over for about the same amount of time while I fucked around getting it sorted in the tracter too.
Great batteries.
In my shed that was fancy after decades of mixing water with those wee packets of evil stuff the old lead batteries came with. And that shit made a right mess when spilled.
I also notice a lot of car batteries are sealed now - I'm pretty sure a lot are still old tech as someone told me they rely on condensation within the sealed unit to keep the water levels constant. Could be a load of crap. I've had my XR6 3 years, no idea how old the battery was when I purchased it as the date sticker is gone - still preforms well but that is about the accepted life out of a car battery cranking over a big arse six cylinder engine.

Re Fastbike Gear - I have purchased bits off them before, got a loud arse horn hooked up from them. Shit I even ordered hand grips off them as the price is good and I did not need to get up from in front of the log burner!!!
Extremely good to deal with, absolutely hassle free. As it should be of course!
