Pretty easy I guess. I ordered one from Jireh cycles and they called me a few days later to tell me it was backordered. It is made in China. One of the sealed ones. I was going to get a YUASA but you have to buy the acid separately. 2 1/8 qts. Cost was going to be way way more than the China battery. The one I am waiting on is an Ultima AGM.

You do have to let it outgas before you seal the battery but that don't take long.

I'm not worried about the battery for the shovel. I'll just wait on it.
I did a compression test on the EVO and it's not good. I got zero on the rear cylinder and only 90 psi on the front. Plus, the rear plug electrode was dented in like something smacked it. I'm planning on pulling the cylinders next. Bike is on the lift.

I pulled the pipes off, drained the oil, and removed the gas tank. Strained metai out of the oil drain plug and filter. Filter had a lot of metal in it. I also found oil and more metal at the air cleaner so I figure my injectors are full of it as well. I'm pulling the heads and cylinders this weekend.
Any idea of how screwed I am with all these metal particles in the engine? I figure the fuel pump is probably got them, all the oil lines, the strainer going to the top end, and the crankcase.
