Bm Bm, had the small odessey in my bike when i got it, a 625 or 650 don't remember this number,, it didn't last and got a 925 on warranty. has been great ever since. i also use a battery tender on mine as sometimes it sits for 6 weeks while i have gone to work :cry: Optima batteries are also recommended by some on .com

The odessey 925 is the ticket. I have one in my 502 and it is always ready and has a lot of reserve cranking capacity. Car batterys tend to breathe and leak....

Odessy does not even recomend a trickle charger if you don't have a parasitic draw.925 all the way.

Had the Odessy 650 went to the 925 know im using the Odessy 1200 it seems to have the cranking power and fits just fine on the 32 trike. I keep it pluged into a trickel charger when we can. The little batterys cann't handle the colder climates

I have been using the 1200 on my bike since the first few months after I bought it in 03. I don't use a charger just leave it and forget about it.
