2007 Norge AGM Battery ????

[mrmach5]

Had the seat off my 2007 Norge and noticed very corroded terminals on the lead acid battery. Probably time to replace it anyway, so went on the hunt for a new AGM Battery. For some reason most sites I've been on don't list a 2007 Norge. 2009 yes , but earlier no. Anyone have experienced this? Any recommendations on a AGM Battery that fits the 2007 Norge would be appreciated.

What you're looking for is a Yuasa YTX20CH-BS or equivalent - almost all battery suppliers cross-reference to the Yuasa models. This spec is important to use IN FULL, since the terminal location is the opposite of most MC batteries.

This is the same battery spec as later Norges - in fact, it's the same battery spec as on lots and lots (and lots!) of Moto Guzzis.

The Yuasa batteries are very good, the Odyssey AGMs are somewhat better (though I'm not sure enough so to justify the extra cost). Some third-party AGMs are in the same class as the Yuasa or even a bit better, but I don't have personal experience with them.

Whatever you buy, (I like the Yuassas) read the instructions on putting it into service and follow them to the letter. You can't just bung the acid in and go.
