Anyone heard of them? http://www.shoraipower.com/default.aspx A wee bit pricey so I doubt the KLR brothers would consider it....
There was a discussion a few days ago about it. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=654998&page=2 My Ducati ST4 needed a new battery so I iintalled the Shorai. The bike turns over quicker than with an AGM. Since I got the GS I don't ride the Ducati that often and thought for the occasional ride lithium technology is better suited and I don't need to put it on a miantenance charger. Not sure how well the Shorai will work when you have a lot of accessories running.
I bought one for my race bike. 1970 R75/5 which runs total loss. It got me through a full track day with no issues, cranking my high compression engine pretty quickly. When I got home i put it in my Husqvarna SM610 and went for a spin. A half hour ride and I checked it on the meter and it read full charge. It seems to be a quality product, but time will tell.
Looks to be about the same price as BMW charges for a stock battery. An Odyssey is $134 but "less than 15 lbs" as opposed to 2.1 for the Shorai. Hmmmmmm G long time
i just ordered the up sized one for the gs. ill let you know in a couple years how it turns out. if i dont forget.
Hi Sean! No kidding long time. I'm still working up north and on my second year.... I might give it a shot after some more research
