Was wondering if anybody has tried the Sigmas Tek STX14AHL-BS AGM battery? Looks to like it should fit in my KZ900's battery box and is a good price. Better 210 CCA then the Scorpion 10L-A2 AGM battery (170 CCA) I'm replacing. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I'm watching.
I used to recommend Scorpions. They were so good. But the last couple went belly up in just over a season or two. So it would be nice to have another option.

I put a Yuasa YB14L-A2 - 175CCA - 14Ah in my kz1000 4 years ago. It's only 175 CCA, but it has held out well. I've had to top it up with distilled water each season, but otherwise it's been fine. I do remove it and take it inside for the winter. It's listed as the OEM battery for my bike. Reasonable price, too.

Sorry for the late response. I did order and receive the Sigmas Tek STX14AHL-BS AGM battery from batterysharks.com. Took me awhile before trying the battery since it took me awhile to finish fixing my right hand control (which shorted and toasted the old battery) due to restoring the finish at the same time. The new battery works great! Cost was $40.90 ($29.95 plus $10.95 shipping). Not bad for a AGM CCA 220 battery. We'll see how long it lasts. The old battery (Scorpion YT10LA2 AGM having 170 CCA), I think it lasted at least 4 years. The new battery is a tad bigger than the old battery but I had no problems with it fitting into the KZ900 battery box. At this point in time, I can recommend this battery. I am hoping it will last at least as long as the old one.
