Didn't someone say that there was a Gel Battery for the KLR? Didn't you say that you had good fortune with it? If so, can you tell me where to get one? My KLR's battery ate the acid/water caps. They fell right off. One plate in the corner had done the white sulfide thing too. Don't know why. Bike is under an awning out of the weather, and a battery tender was used continuously. Oh well, I need new juice. jim_ama585601 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I just received this from Yuasa the other day and thought it may interest some of you. http://www.angelfire.com/ut/moab/images/bat_tip.jpg Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com http://www.canyonlandsmotorclassic.com

My 07's stock battery needs to be replaced. I definitely will be going with a maintenance free battery, but am confused by the terminology. Which batteries are OK to be laid on its side? Is an AGM battery the same as a GEL battery. Are dry cell batteries gel batteries? Do I have 5 choices: 1. lead acid maintenance 2. lead acid maintenance free 3. lead acid AGM maintenance free. 4. Gel maintenance free. 5. dry cell maintenance free. Craig Kahler

Since no one else wants to tackle this, I'll try to answer some of your questions.   Why do you want to lay your battery on it's side?  All batteries can be laid on their sides for a short time but all but the factory sealed or Odysey type of batteries will have a chance of leaking some acid.  The Odysey battery also requires this battery to be laid on it side in the battery box since this is the only way it will fit.  You will also need different battery cables for the Odysey battery since the stock battery cables will not work with this battery.   The AGM and gel batteries are similar in that the acid in the battery is suspended in either an Absorbed Glass Matt or in a Gel solution.  I don't know of any "dry cell" batteries for the KLR.  Do you mean "dry charged"?  This is different because this battery will also require acid and is a maintenance type battery.   There is lots of good information about your battery choices at:  http://www.yuasabatteries.com/allabout.php Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com     [b]From:[/b] ckahleer@...
