it's a good day when you wake up and stretch out and don't touch wood
I’ve had one fitted for the last three years with no problems
Just when you thought you had made it idiot proof.... along comes a higher class of idiot!
Good thanks
Rather than go for the smallest I went for the nearest physical size to the existing battery which allowed me to fit a 21ah Shorai battery LFX21A6-BS12.
They are quite expensive, but still lighter and never had any issues turning the bike over even in the middle of winter, however it is kept in a cosy garage.

I run a Shido lithium battery. I have to do so because of a reduced battery box size.
No problems with the battery or power needed to start the bike...HOWEVER, if left uncharged, the battery will go flat in a few weeks if another load is present (in my case it was left connected to a sat nav mount).
The upside is that it will go from flat to fully charged in about 40 minutes using a standard smart charger. Dunno about the Shorai stuff, but the Shido's need no special charger and they can if desired be left hooked up permanently to any smart charger same as a conventional lead/acid type.
If you have an alarm or LED you would need to do that. If (as mine is now) you have no current draw though - you will be fine for months of non use
