I also got a Scorpion AGM battery from batterystuff.com --- It was 12.79 volts straight out of the box & it holds its charge --- much better than the wet cell batteries I've used in the past. If unsure of the size, either try the diagrams at Kawasaki.com or partzilla or the Yuasa battery site.

Mine is a 750 twin. Not sure what size yours uses. Measure the dimensions and you should be able to size from there.

Just called, they are in Oregon, so will call back later when they are open.. I am hoping that the battery is a direct fit. Dont want to get into modifications, I will ask about fitment before I order.
Thanks bountyhunter

I recieved my "Scorpion" AGM Battery yesterday. I am probably going to get slammed for saying this...but as a Vietnam era Vet, I wasnt pleased to see the country of origin was Vietnam. ??? :-[
If I had it to do over.....I would probably have paid more and tried to find a made in USA Battery, if that is even possible anymore!
I will probably install the battery tomorrow, if I dont say anything else on the subject...means I am satisfied.

Here are some links to a nice motorcycle battery test (and the followup)... www.intruderalert.com/cafe/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=157926

www.intruderalert.com/cafe/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=176271

Based on this test I bought a Motobatt AMG battery and it performs perfectly. One added bonus is these units have extra battery posts for hooking up accessories. The bad is that they are yellow, and said hook ups can interfere with fitment into your bike. For example, the battery post fitment blocks use of the tool tray that fits right next to the battery on my 750E. Still gotta sort that out.
