I've always been an advocate for using the biggest battery you can fit. Your CCA or reserve capacity can't be too high - you'll just be paying a little more for it. The way I see it, after a few years and the battery starts getting a bit tired, a bigger battery will still be cranking fine.
I use a 220CCA lithium in my KZ250.
