    One in my KTM450 is awesome. Best part is that if you leave it
    for weeks, the battery doesn't self discharge. Hit the button for a
    couple cranks (warms the battery), wait 5 seconds, hit again and it
    starts right up. Down side is that if you try to use a standard
    charger you'll destroy the battery. You need a special Li one.
    I destroyed one in my DRz400.

    Go fast. Take chances.
