A year ago I put a lightweight Shorai battery in my Husky with great results (story here). I've been getting my 1981 GPz 550 ready for the road and I found that the previous battery acid fumes had rusted the battery box horribly. So I decided the GPz needed a Shorai battery as well.
The weight savings is fantastic! Here are the numbers for the conventional battery and the new one.
Yuasa YB12A-A: 8 lbs 13.3 oz = 141.3oz = 4006g
Shorai LFX14A5-BS12: 2 lbs 4.4 oz = 36.4oz = 1032g
So that is a savings of 6.5 pounds or 2.9kg!
