There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Your owner's manual should list the battery size. My '23 Ryker Rally manual (page 166) shows a HTX14L-FA battery, that's a Haijiu battery manufactured in China (I believe). So for a Yuasa it should be a YTX14L-BS. Or you could pull your old one and verify.
Hope that helps.

So, unless someone here has some info, you are going to have to search for a battery equivalent to HTX14L-FA or YTX14L-BS but with higher specs. Both are rated at 12 AH and the Yuasa is 200 CCA. Dimensions are 6" x 3 7/16" x 5 3/4" or 150mm x 87mm x 145mm. I haven't had any battery issues. I do keep mine on a battery tender when its not going be used in a while. When it's time to replace I will go with a Yuasa which I have had good luck with over the years on two wheels.

Ideally, if you're not going Lithium, you'll want a minimum of 350 CCA and 21 A/hr capacity. And you need to make sure that whatever battery you get, the battery is initialised and CHARGED fully (8 hours on a 2 amp charger) BEFORE it is installed!! 
Only don't necessarily trust a dealer/battery retailer who sells you one off the shelf and says they've already done that!
Unless you get to wait at least those 8 hours of necessary charging after you've ordered it, then it's pretty doubtful they really have, and you'll be the one paying the penalty, either thru needing to replace a prematurely failing battery earlier than expected, or the new battery won't ever do the job properly and may cause all sorts of issues!

Who has 350 CCA and 21 amphour rating for a battery that fits into a Ryker with a 900 cc motor?
