Battery for a 07 450?

[fastisbetter]

I have a 07 ec450fsr that came with a Parts Canada battery in it. The battery lasted under a year, mostly due to lack of maintenance over the winter I guess. It is a ctz7s model and the search for a new one is just about futile. I called the local bike shop and they told me a ytz7s was the same just different mfg, but $140 turned me off. Does anyone know what battery is supposed to be in my bike or what will work?

The YTZ7S is a Yuasa battery, which is one of the top, if not the top of the line battery manufacturer. However any -7S battery from a cheaper manufacturer will work, 7S is just a reference to the specs of the battery.

I've used yuasa,they're good but too expensive.Motobat seems good and cheap.Turntech do the best but check for price.Whatever make sure its a sealed unit(glassmatt,lithium)because when they leak the air filter will dissapear.
