More Questions: Oil drawn up to air breather/filter; and battery

[Nubs]

Not saying that You need one, just that there are parts out there to solve the problem. a remote breather would help and is cheap n easy to install, I'd post a picture but the old photobucket site is not lettin' me in at the moment...

ArgoJim and NUBS, thanks for the replies. I was just curious why RI did not think to include "type" in their specification included with the User Manual. While when new, one knows the "type" as it is there. However, when used, it is a crap shoot as to what should be there. I like the idea of a possible larger, extended location battery. I may look into that as wiring that would not be an issue, and maybe I could get it setup so that I could easily attach a battery maintainer without having to pull the seat/floorboards. That was one reason I was following the "seat/floorboard modifications" thread. In cold weather and when leaving unit to sit for an extended period, I like to attach a battery maintainer, so that the rig will be ready to start when needed. There is nothing worse than a weak or drained battery on a bitter winter morning. My 4x4 tractor has a tank heater and battery maintainer.

wire a plug and extension to battery then change the clamps on battery charger and just plug in.

Here is a common seat/floorboard mod done by many I ride with, and myself. This was done by previous owner many years ago.

There is really only room in the battery box for a U11 style battery, I'm running the 350 or 375 CCA battery and that is about as high as you can get. Another option would be to relocate it to the rear over the right axle and go bigger.

I run an odyssey pc925 in all my machines. They are pricey unless you can get beat up ones from wrecked race cars for free... It is a nonspillable battery. I stand them on end in max and attex machines. I did have to build a different hold down in the maxII. http://www.odysseybatteries.com/batt...925_series.htm

I currently use a Polaris ATV battery in my M-IV. It fits in their nicely, but it too tall for the factory bracket. I use two of those black rubber bungy cords, and a tie down rope. Holds the battery down very well.
Due to the positive being on the opposite side of the previous battery I had to extend one positive cord to reach over to the other side. I also had to move the flat, braided ground wire to the opposite side of the frame as well.
