I have been using a Shorai battery on my 990 SMR for a while now & love this battery, it is one third of the weight of a normal OEM battery.

Thanks for answer, Petenz, I already have a 2into1 exhaust, BMC filter and PCIII with custom map, snorkel out, AIS removed (51,3hp on the dyno) and I�m looking for more improvements.

So if I can lose 2-3kg I�ll be happier!! My bike with OE battery can stay 2 weeks without start and no problem, is the same with lithium batteries??

Thanks Kev, I�ve been looking Shorai ones and it weights 700 grams but they are as big as OE. The best thing is that this have 12Ah while Racing Batteries only has 5Ah. This means that Shorai last longer without discarge than Racing Bat?

Thank you!!
