odyssey battery in an '07 F650GS

[nytrashman]

i am wanting to replace the stock battery in my '07 F650GS. i was told an odyssey PC535 will fit if you shave the fins down. before i buy one of these batteries i would like to know if anyone can confirm this will work.

I noticed you posted your question on the Chain Gang. I hope you get an answer, as I'll probably be needing a battery this winter. I wish I could help, but I'm in the same boat.

Hmmmm I can't answer your question, but I'd bet it voids the warranty on the battery and might reduce the integrity of the battery case making you more susceptible to a cracked case and an acid leak. These are "AGM" type batteries so there is not a lot of extra liquid inside the battery but still....

Well I guess I'm saying I would not go there
But YMMY

1200GS battery has a different set up then the F650.

I put an Odyssey in my '03 F650GS with no mods.

 

[nytrashman]

which model odyssey fit in your '03?

I put the Westco maint. free batt in my F650GS 2003 - tight fit but no mods needed. works great.

it is my understanding that big cranks (ETX15L) sells a re-branded Deka battery that will drop right in
