marjani is on a distinguished road
I finally received the Speedcell battery I ordered a couple of weeks ago.
Put it on a scale it only weights 0,3 kgs. Not believing this could replace the original battery I took the change today of testing this. I removed the battery and placed the Speedcell. Filled the battery holder with foam material (weights almost nothing) I took from computer transport boxes. Wired the Speedcell pressed the ignition and off she goes! Really fantastic you feel the reduction in weight when holding the bike on its side.
Weight saving.
Yamaha battery: 3,3kgs
Speedcell battery: 0,3 kgs
Weight reduction: 3,0 kgs

Easy job to do.
