Need help with BATTERY
I own a 1983 Suzuki GS550E and I need to buy a new battery. I live in omaha nebraska and I do not know where to go to buy one and I also do not know what size it is. Is there anyway i can find out what size battery i need.

Any motorcycle/ATV/snomobile store will have them as well as most autoparts stores and even Walmart (saw some yesterday). Bring the battery along or just tell them what you have as they will have reference materials to refer to. If they don't have one for your specific bike, anything rated for a 500cc bike/atv/snomobile and up will work fine as long as it is the same physical dimensions as your existing.
You'll be up and running in no time.
Cheers,
Spyug.

Walmart or VIP auto will have a book that lists the correct battery for your bike. Again, bring the old one because there's usually a $10 additional core charge in most states if you don't exchange the old one. It also gives you something to compare with, although there is no guarentee that the previous owner put the correct size in before you.
You may already know, but put the old one in a small plastic bag for transport as the acid can do a number on your clothes, car seats or carpet if it spills out!
Normally, bike batteries are stored dry and you will get a bottle of sulfuric acid to put in. Carefully fill to the correct level and then trickle charge overnight before putting it in the bike.
