[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 830489, member: 277"] Under Yamaha warranty I was given a Yusa 210 CCA battery. The one they gave me did not perform any different than the 135 CCA stock battery and it did not live out 2 full years. I'm sure someone here will pipe up about a perfect Yusa 210 CCA battery that is 15 years old in their 6 year old FJR ;) Seriously, with batteries, YMMV because of the very different ways we all treat our batteries. Some people start often and ride short, always keeping the battery undercharged. Some people start their FJR on the Pacific coast, touch the Atlantic Ocean and return to the Pacific coast with only a small handful of starts in between, which will lead to longer battery life. See if the battery seller can tell you what the cell durability or cycle durability rating of the battery is. This is truly the meaningful specification for the life expectancy of a battery. Every battery manufacturer knows this specification, most don't advertise it. Regardless of CCA, this figure will tell you the number of full charge cycles the battery has to offer during its life. Figure 900 cycles as an average number for a battery like the one used in the FJR. The CCA rating is usually inversely proportional to cycle durability. [/QUOTE]
