Default Battery Question
I have a 2005 FSE 450, and it's time for a new battery. What is the best battery in terms of cranking power? Price is not an object (with-in reason) Thank you!

Ktm racing in Australia use super b li- on, shorai also make li-on batteries

Got to either website and compare with your current model battery. 1/3 the weight, better cranking, don't go flat sitting in your garage.

I ride a 06 450 and my yuasa is great. I keep it on a ctek tender when I'm not riding though.

I also use the Yuasa CTZ7S-BS. Found it to last longer than the others I've used.
Another # used for this size Batt by other mnfg. is 5L-BS

If price isn't a worry a Turntech or shorai are the go.Get the larger cranking-amp one.
Cheap and good is the motobatt which is a glassmatt battery as is the yuasa but is 3 times the price.
