Thread: {Review} SHORAI Battery Install 2006 R1

Ya I love them Rukas's would like to get one just to tool around town on.


OK Final Remarks and Conclusion on the SHORAI Battery.

I went back after Jimmie pointed out my missing a very important piece. So I went through all the specs, FAQs and tech notes I was given and it all points to the very same thing as the little blurb in FAQ thansk to Jimmie.

So I have to say, I am very, very impressed and I am very, very surprised this battery did fire up this morning even after I got that dreaded starter clicking indicating not enough juice to engage the splines.

So I leave the key on, hit the button, and it turns over and I get the Alarm low battery
So I hit the button, it cranks over with a little more meaning, no alarm low battery
So I hit the button, it spins with a tad more energy, but I let off pressure on the button
So I let it sit 2 minutes, key on, as I close the garage door, put on my helmet.
So I hit the button, and the dam R1 Spun up like it was 85 degrees out and already warm motor. The battery warmed up and spun that 4 Banger Liter bike like it was a 2 fiddy

I have to say this really built up some confidence as I am always and have been Leary not knowing when the OEM battery on the R1 would choke. I always sine I replaced the 1st battery when riding, stopped the R1 in an area I could get a good down hill coast and bump start.

This is the Little Battery that CAN
