hmmm...just put the 10u in mine and a fuse fried on the first ride. Hadn't happened with the old small wet battery.

No way a battery caused a fuse to blow. You could mount a 850cca battery out of a car if you had the room with no ill effects. If the main fuse blew, most likely dirty contacts on the fuse clips, or wires have rubbed through and shorting out somewhere. Rest assured it's not a battery blowing a fuse, ever.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI have Motobatt batteries in my KZ900 and KH400. They work great and hold their charge for a long time.

Here's an example on e-bay.

I haven't done business with this particular vendor, I picked this listing because (I think) it's the correct battery for a KZ650.
1978 KZ1000, 1976 KZ900, 1975 H2, 1973 H1, 1973 H2, 1978 RD400, 1977 RD400, 1974 RD350

Check the polarity of the battery. I has a lithium one that the poles were opposite when installed, and I hooked it up wrong(didn't pay attention). As soon as the key was turned it popped the fuse.
Mine:
04 Honda rebel 250(wifes)
04 GSXR 750(bolt on galore)
98 CBR 600F3(filter, pipe, adjustable cam sprokets, dyno tune)
76 KZ900A (LTD gauge pods, crash bars, LTD(style)pipes, dyna coils and ignition,headwork and mild port cleanup by cavanaugh racing, K&N filter pods, heck I dunno.
