with an 13:1 piston, your motor will be harder to turn over than it would if you had an lower compression piston. because of that. it is more important to have a good battery and an good starter. charge your battery and see if it will start then, that is probably an good place to start. also, has it been sitting for an while?

yea, she was sitting for a few months while i was refreshing it. i had jump it with my booster pack a fe wtimes and ran it for like a 1/2 hr to 45 mins, the last time it was dead i rode it and it hasn't dies since until now, maybe it might be dead and time for a new one now? i was just curious if anyone tried a little bigger battery for the high comp motors?

They fit perfectly, and work extremely well on the higher compression engines. Buy from someone who has them fresh, not old stock left sitting around. I carry them and sell them non stop with outstanding results.

This is what I did, I bought it from Pappy also, fast shipping. Fires the bike right up now. Guaranteed, 50 more CCAs! The battery is the same one they use in the 1300cc Hayabusa, same dimensions!

glad to hear it runs! sorry about the bottom end though...

hey pappy, those yuasa batts are sealed right? or arent they? i really want to start getting nothing but sealed batts, i have been having problems with acid leaking out... too many wheelies i think!

I don't know what you mean by sealed, but you have to fill it with acid, so I am guessing no.
