We put the Odyssey in the 1427 at the shop, worked much better, significantly more cca than stock, a little pricier but worth it. I'm still on the stock one surprisingly although I bought my y2k in 2005. Don't try the YTX5....7 lb lighter than stock...you get ONE try at firing the motor and its DONE, even w/out headlights & tail lights draining the battery....approx 1/3 the cca required.

Mikes busy with the new baby im suspecting
fwiw i put in a yusa 20. 18 amp compared to the stock 14 amp. bike runs better, starts easier, and its running more electronics. i had to cut a bunch of plastic from the battery tray to get it to fit, but its in lol. i was strapped for time and bought it locally for close to $100(double what i should have). i dont have super high compression on my 1287, just a bit over stock, but hot starts are not a problem on 12v so far

I read in googling batteries that someone used a 14v dewalt to get 24v starting system.Sounds nice and small but wish I could see what was used to wire it in.Needs to be removable for recharging.
Shiphtey,does your friend have the special charger also for the Odyssey.

Hey AA, looked up the guy's ticket, turns out he decided against the Odyssey even though he wanted them initially. HE went with FAYTX20HL-PW....2 lbs heavier than stock but about 100 cca more JUICE! He is actually still on the 12V system. What is your compression on your stroker? He's pump gas, normal compression, went 203 at Maxton.

After 8 years, my YTX20-BS (270 CCA) died. Good battery, but had hot starting problems. I decided to try the Xtreme X20HBS (310 CCA,). I had the sales lady verify the battery voltage and CCA b4 buying it. So far so good, and no hot starting problems yet...

Pete, buy a Batery Tender Plus along with that battery so you dont have to buy anymore batteries again.
There $40 on line and it will pay for it self.
