    I got that battery in my 463 stroker. It is worth getting over the stock replacement.

    FDO 463ex, Gas Gas 300, Gas Gas 450, Rancher, Yamaha Warrior, ATC Big Red.

    If you can't afford to fix it or replace it, don't ask to ride it!

    That about right, I got my battery for around $60. It is the exact same size at the stock batter. My Honda dealer gives me a heck of a discount. Then again they should for the amount of stuff I get from them.
    I left my quad outside on night over Christmas shutdown, not that I wanted to. It started right up when I got on it. I think it got down to the low 20's that night. The only time I have had problem with it starting is when I have to motor good and warm. Then the cylinder pressure is pretty high, and 13:1 compression, so it is hard to roll over. I am putting a manual decompression lever off a XR400 to help out in those conditions.
