The previous owner's parents had this bike sitting for many years. Thinking they could get it to start so they could unload it, they, of course, went to Walmart to get the cheapest battery they could find. I had the battery out to work on some items and now as I put it back in, it seems too tall. The clamping screws barely thread into the holder, and I see now it doesn't come down far enough to hold the side coolant tank tight. Am I correct that this is just the wrong battery for the bike? It is 6-7/8" tall. It ran in place with this battery, but I'm guessing it was just barely fitted in there, height wise. Which of course the owners knew full well, but didn't bother to tell me.
I have a spare PC680 that came out of my 1100, but it seems much too narrow to use with the K75 clamp bar, and too close to shorting out on the poles. I gather that won't work either. Correct? I am assuming that I now need to go find the right battery for the bike. Suggestions?
