Correct Battery Type?

its an upgrade on the standard battery which is a bit on the weak side . Provided the replacement will physically fit and has a higher CCA ( cold cranking amps )
Go for it .

I had AGM batteries on my bikes for years standard alternator up to 2008 was a 500 w and then was later fitted with 350 w alternators , which was actually a better option ! So both are well able to charge the AGM type .
A modern charger such as optimate one is a recommended choice of charger for all battery types , keep your tuono on the charger when laid up as the battery consumption is high even when parked up for weeks at a time .I speak from experience . My shonky old blade and my BMW s1000r goes on the optimate once a month each , static consumption for both bikes is extremely low .

Aldo , that's amazing !! You're lucky .
I bought my '57 in Dec 2012 , within 2 weeks the battery was dead flat !! Me thinking the battery was duff I bought a new one .
Fitted that and that went flat !! I just assumed that it was the nature of the beast , not having had a bike full of electronic gubbins before .
My current BMW has been sat 4 months without needing a charge , so I guess mine had a bit of a leak down problem .

Usually at the top of the apple tree.
h, I've no idea why the battery kept its charge for so long.
I used to think it was because I did high mileage days whenever I was out on it.
Turned out that wasn't the case when I eventually changed it.
The replacement battery needed to be on a trickle charge nearly from the get go.
