I am going to do away with the stock battery box/air cleaner unit and relocate the batter under the seat. I have found a lithium battery that will fit in the area that I want to place it, however it only creates 120 cold cranking amps. Will this be sufficient to start the bike? I don't plan to ride the bike if temps are below 50 degrees F.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

the yb14 is 1.4 cranking amps (cold),just make sure you calculate the math for (mAh),my mate is building a bobber with a lithium battery pack he calculated he needs 3 small battery;s @ total 4000 mAh so he needs 9 battery;s total.its a suzuki bandit 600 engine tho (yb9),hope that helps,jim (it would be easier to modify the subframe for a battery),forgot to add he has put something in these packs because lithium ion takes a different charge than standard charge up,so watch what your doing if going that route,ta jim

Sorry Scottishjim, but you don't even know what you are talking about. The stock Yuasa YTX14-BS has 12Ah (not 14) which is the capacity not the maximum cranking amps. The cold cranking amps of the stock battery is about 180-200 Ampere, so no 120 won't really be enough I guess.
