[irieco]

I just bought a new battery for my girl.
It's a MOTOBATT QUADFLEX model # MBTX20U
Sealed gel, 320 CCA, 2 year replacement warranty, trippy universal posts.
The company has been around for over 30 years in Florida.

You know, why not just be done with the poor cranking power of a single battery....

...and wire up TWO of them in a parallel circuit?

One could contemplate using the OEM air filter housing as a place for a second battery, if you had already ditched the paper filter for the three K&N filters on the throttle bodies themselves.

Would have to measure that space though; to see if it is feasible.

I still have my Original stock battery fires up first time every time...

..then I would say you are lucky and the fact that you live in a warmer climate probably helps too..here in Maryland, the odyssey 625 won't start my bike when it gets real cold and stays there..
