Before switching to a sealed battery
The original battery is conventional. An AGM or gel battery can replace it as a maintenance-free option if the motorcycle’s voltage regulator/rectifier charges between 14.0 and 14.8 V at 3000–4000 rpm. If it charges below that, stick with a conventional battery. A sealed battery does not have a vent tube, so leave the motorcycle’s vent tube disconnected.
