New battery dramas?
I have just purchased a new battery and they put the fluid in when i picked it up, knowing nothing about it i put it in the bike and it leaked a heap of fluid on my last filter! I ring them and they said it takes 48 hours for the fluid to leak in properly But they also said the angle it mounts on sounds wrong because the fluid leans towards the valves of the battery? Anyone know if it is the fluid needs time to soak in or what? It is the same code battery as standard.

I've sold plenty of bike batteries and never heard of 'fluid leak in properly'. Sounds like fish to me. |

Cheap chinese battery. It should have a warranty of some sort, see if you can credit it towards a Yuasa. Or better yet a Shorai, which is the ~4 lb lighter Li-Ion battery.

I bought one of these for the old mans WR450F. Same deal happened. They filled it, I put it in the bike and walked away. Came back later to a nice stain on the swingarm and a puddle on the ground. They actually have a small breather hole at the top, and if mounted on the side they leak. I managed to sweet talk the lady at battery world and got a genuine yuasa for no added cost.

Shorai
Shorai is the bomb diggity, very pricey but crazy light and you could mount it upside down with no leak issues....

Ditto on the Shorai! I just installed one and the Gasser fires up like a champ!

Stock: Yuasa YTZ7S, 2100 gm, 113 x 70 x 105 mm
Shorai LFX14L2-BS12, 730 gm, 113 x 58 x 89 mm comes with extra foam blocks to fill the leftover space in your battery tray L2 has the correct terminal orientation Ballistic 8 cell, 825 gm, 112 x 60 x 103 mm more power, but terminal location could be a problem, you would have to put it in place to see if the cables cleared properly
