Hey everyone,
I'm super new to this forum and super new to the XS400.
I recently picked up a 1979 XS400F and the battery is real old, and real dead. I really want to replace it with a maintenance free battery but I can't seem to find one that says it works for the 1979 model.
BikeBandit says the Bike Master AGM Platinum II fits the 79 model, but other sites say its only for a 1980-81 even though it says it is a replacement for the 12N12A-4A-1, which is what this 79 had already. Is there really a big difference? If anyone could tell me if this battery would work, or point me in the direction of one that does I'd be really grateful, I wanna ride this thing!

Thanks,
