Hawk 250 battery.

Hello all, I ordered a Hawk 250, and I've been researching various parts, and upgrades. One thing I'm confused about is the battery. I assume the battery that comes with it is fairly cheap. I've seen it said the battery is a 12v 9Ah, but I for the life of me can't find any battery with the YTX7L-BS size that is 12v 9Ah. All of them are 12v 6Ah. To be further confusing One Man's Blog's battery swap shows his battery as a 12N6.5, and says it's between 7-9Ah. I even went to Oreilly's auto, and they came back a Powersports battery at 12v 6Ah. So my question is this, can someone give me the actual battery, and voltage required?

12N6.5 is some oddball that u NEVER can find a Yuasa equivalent...
Upgrade = sealed/ higher CCA/ fits ... http://www.chinariders.net/showpost.php?p=217191&postcount=14 had good example. That chrome YTZ7S is ~$26.?? nowadays

I was looking at those Chrome batteries the YTZ7L-BS, but I wasn't sure of the quality. How are they?

I think a YTZ7L-BS would be too tall, I have a Chrome YTZ7S-BS in mine and it seems to be a good battery. I purchased a Chrome for my scooter and had no problems with it.
