[QUOTE="norcal rider, post: 1443283, member: 88329"] My 2003 has a Shorai, installed by the previous owner. The only problem, if you want to call it a problem, is it is very finicky to temperature extremes. Doesn't like too hot or too cold. Battery placement almost directly over the engine results in the battery overheating when the bike is turned off. Unless the battery/engine cools totally down, takes multiple starter hits to fire the engine. Same with too cold. Have to turn the ignition on and let sit with multiple starter hits before firing. If I'm riding with a group I have to plan ahead if it's too cold. Gotta get out there before everyone else to get the bike started and ready to go when everyone else is ready to go. Sweet spot for this battery seems to be about 50 to 90 degrees. Any temps above or below results in sluggish starting. [/QUOTE]
