Hey,
You guys jinxed the battery in my XF200 with all your battery troubles.

I went to ride her because it was her turn in the rotation and she lite up the headlight for a second or two and then nothing. Would not crank a bit with the e start but no problem right? Wrong, I started her with the kick starter but she would just idle with a bad battery. Would not rev so could not be ridden.

Anyway, I pulled the battery out and went to Batteries Plus to get a replacement but no dice.
Out of twenty or so batteries none were the right size. Well I'll try WalMart before I hit the internet and got lucky with one that fit without the rubber boot. It was a tight fit but good to go.
