You will need a special high performance battery for that fire breathing 156HP 160mph imaginary beast you are riding.

I like the MotoBatt AGM battery.
This is the one you need
You can beat this price if you Google around. Got mine off eBay.

Most places who specialize in batteries can hook you up, any autozone or advanced auto will work also.
The AGM or advanced glass matt type of battery as listed in Koolaids post is the way to go as it will hold a great charge for extended periods of time when you are not riding the bike.
If you want one local as opposed to the internet I bought mine at advanced auto the AGM batteries cost a little more then a regular batteries but well worth it on a motercycle or anything else that you might not run on a regular basis.
Advanced was able to tell me what batteries I needed based on model and year as there may be a difference in size.(dimensions)

For "local", there is a decent list of suppliers, depending on just who is in your "local" area:
Auto Zone
Advanced Auto
NAPA
O'Reilly's
Checker Auto
Batteries Plus
Interstate Battery
Wal-Mart (no, I'm not kidding)
Sears

the list goes on, just pick whever is closest.

For a standard, wet-cell battery, prices might vary from $30-40. For an AGM battery (that is a battery type, not a brand), expect to pay about $80-90, but it's a better battery.

Hi,

Just about any YBL14-A2 battery will do. Different manufacturers will have different specs (cold cranking amps, etc) but that is the model number that fits the 850.


Thank you for your indulgence,

you will need more than a stock battery to cope with that HUGE compression ratio you think you have
