[QUOTE="mr.paul, post: 1076036, member: 6454"] Ok, just another 2 cents. I installed the Shorai lithium IRON battery last spring. I got the larger of the 2 batteries listed for my 2006 FJR. I have run it in all kinds of weather and I am so far, calling it a success. The only oddity I can even pull out, is that in weather near freezing, it will initially crank slowly. . If you couldn't start on the initial attempt, they tell you to wait 30 seconds and try again. It has rarely been necessary to do this, but it works. I confirmed this late this past winter, when after not riding for 4 months, I tried starting the bike at about 22 degrees fairenhiet. The first attempt cranked too slow. After waiting 30 seconds, it spun like summertime and fired right up. Works for me. My original battery lasted 6 trouble free years and I only replaced it because I figured I was was on borrowed time. It had never left the bike (not counting recall work) and had been on a battery tender Jr. on and off during the winters. So far, I have faith the Shorai will do the same or better. In incidentally, the Shorai wasn't kept on the tender all winter. Mr. Paul [/QUOTE]
