You want the 12 and I suggest seeing if Haydug still has them. You have to get the right size otherwise it won't fit correctly. Hayduy was the only place I could find that had the correct battery, and he was cheap too.

Warning...

I just got a Koyo 12A and it was slightly on the big side.
Being a fiend I had to cut the corners on my battery tray.
:mad:

Now I know why Yuasa is a better battery. When they list the dimensions they are spot on. Oh well lessons learned I reckon

I bought one at Napa. I didn't know which battery was in the quad and just went to Napa. I looked up Cannondale in the book (just to see if it was in there) and sure enough, they had 2. What other bikes use our batteries?

The 12a battery is used in alot of different street bikes. I wouldn't bother with the 9 anymore as they are useable, but the 12 is a better replacement.

I was going to try this one next-

It is only 3/16" higher than the 12 someone listed above. It has 55 more CCA too. It is also suppose to be more vibration resistant.
