I Was quoted between £95 to £162 for a YUASA battery for my FZ1 last week
So bought it from the £95  place of cause..
 
I was going to try one them new lightweight Lithium Ion battery's,but I needed a battery straight away..So maybe next time.

Here you go

Excellent service genuine kit all you do is add the the supplied acid when it arrives charge it over night and that's it forget these cheap Chinese rip offs being sold for stupid money by some stealers.

Also unless you have an alarm on your bike , i would not use a trickle charger, a good battery will hold its charge for a long long time,unless you know different! :)

not sure a lithium ion battery is a good idea for a bike unless you need the weight saving.
