I recommend going to Impact Battery and buying it from them for the same price. I had some issues with a battery lately and their customer service was second to none especially knowing the MotoBatt I thought I bought from them was actually bought from someone else. They still issued me the warranty RMA and I'm more than happy with them.
Well-engineered Battery Solutions for everyday people and businesses that get results wherever you live, work or play. Buy AGM Batteries, Chargers & Solar products.
EDITED: After I go back to read better, I see they are out of stock. I know they told me Motobatt recently had a factory fire (reason for my first call to them three weeks ago) and is still trying to rebuild the place so I'm sure they are still behind on orders. I still would recommend them thoughLast edited by cowboyup3371; 01-26-2014, 01:22 PM.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Sounds like Impact Battery treated you right
I found a Scorpion battery which makes a YT12C which has 180cca vs Motobatt 160cca. I have seen the name around but no experience with them either. Here is a link (They are rated 4.79/5). . . seems good

jumper cables and your car battery, leave the car off, should be able to start your bike and or crank it over to perform your compression test...

I recycled the dried out battery . . . so that is gone. Can you run a bike safely using jumper cables as described for five or ten minutes with no battery?
I have already down the "thumb test" but I need to do the compression check when its Hot so I can compare those numbers to the cold value.Last edited by srsupertrap; 01-27-2014, 12:00 AM.1979 GS1000E (44 Yrs), 1981 GPz550

use the car battery as your battery, it's all 12 volts, the only down side is you might run down your car battery, so after a bit disconnect and run the car and charge it up...
