    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Sealed battery for my bike

Does anyone know if there is a maintenance-free or sealed battery for my bike. I have a 1979 GS550L. The current battery in the bike is a XT10L-A2 (Batteries Plus replacement for YB10L-A2). Last time I was at batteries plus, the guy told me there was not a maintenance-free model of my battery. Does anyone know if there IS a maintenance free model? I'm sure there is, but I want to make sure it's a good brand too. Any recommendations?
 
There are AGM batteries that fit right in. Batteries plus sells them, as do many others.

I am looking for the same AGM replacement battery for my '85 550E...

I haven't found one yet that was the same height as the YB10L-A2 battery.

The only AGM I've found was about an inch taller.

Same here! :confused:
It must be a not very common size.

I don't think it's an extremely common size. Walmart doesn't have one at all. Batteries Plus only has their own brand, and not sealed.

I like this Motobatt one. I'll make sure to look at both the AGM and the Motobatt ones to make sure I get the best battery for where I live.

I also found these TruGel ones. Anyone tried them before?

What I am really looking for is the battery that will give me the most life in Phoenix, where it very commonly gets into the 110s in the summer. Rain and salt are not issues, so corrosion is unlikely to be an issue.

Thanks again!

The MotoBatt one is an AGM type battery... free shipping too!
 
I have the same exact size battery as you and am using a Motobatt that sits perfectly in my battery box. I love it.
