Yausa are great batteries. You can buy them online and shipped to you cheaper than a new battery from a dealer. I think I bought one for about $50-55 online from some battery company in Florida, got it in 2 days. All these batteries, even from any dealer, come dry, you have to fill them with the container of acid that comes with them.
Regardless of what brand you get, they are all AGM batteries in this size, and regardless of what any dealer or anyone else says - be forewarned- THEY MUST BE FULLY CHARGED UP BEFORE INITIAL USE or you can throw them out after starting the bike once or twice. If you don't put them on a charger for a few hours (better overnight if you are using a 1 amp trickle charger), they will have very very little capacity and will never hold a full charge no matter how many times you charge them up after that.

And Kvstrobe - where'd you go? You got some advice on here, you have any followup?
