Welcome to the forum! All the previous comments are spot on, may I suggest a HD battery as the replacement, the AGM is a good battery but if you like doing short rides the battery isn't getting a good charge. Get a "smart" battery tender and use it religiously to maintain the charge, the battery will appreciate it. Enjoy your "new" ride.
