I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called you out like that. It was a very good and thorough post. I just can't figure it out though. I am not very mechanically inclined and I could figure it out. I guess my point is this; Try to get the battery in and if you can't, follow thedeatons' step by step instructions.

I'm using the 515 optimum I believe. Has around 500+ cranking amps the first couple of seconds. As deatons mentioned, do a search as there are soom good posts already that have some good info.
Pete I couldn't find that part number on Optima's site. I need a battery and was going to get the Odyssey PC310 but am interested in the Optima. Could you verify the model? Thanks.
**** deatons, calm down. Jess just said he hasn't had problems. No one called you liar either. puff puff chill...
As for the off brand batteries...I personally would say stay away from them. Get the YUASA, its more $$ but for good reason. I have seen the off brands go after 1 year while the Yuasa keeps going for 3 or more. Just my 2 cents.

I am calm, he said sorry, no harm done... I have been getting kicked around on some other forums lately, so this disgruntled me further and I lashed out.... my apologies also.
I said you can use an Optima up above in a previous post, I meant Odyssey.... PC310 still under testing. The allure of the 310 is that it is superlight and the size of a 9...

links dont work
I too would agree with clamping the battery down too tight, or clamping with the post. I've been running the Odyssey PC310 for about 6 months. I don't ride everyday so sometimes the battery with sit for a month or so and it has worked every time I go to start it. I think I've found one that I really can trust now. Watch now I'll go out there now and it will be dead LOL.
Blackgixxer if your really wanting to make things hard and looking for more things to do some people have mounted there battery were the stock air filter use to be,in the ECU tray area. Helps clean it up a bit but would make it harder to get a jump tho.

I don't understand why you want to relocate the battery to a higher point on the frame. I know they don't weigh that much but Cannondale had a great idea to put all the heavy stuff in the bottom center of the frame. Its there to balance the quad and to eliminate that top heavy feel. If you move anything, move the fuel pump and regulator first to "clean it up."
