You could put it in a fender bag :D


I have heard the some people put em in the airbox but as far as I am concerned airboxes are for air.

teamgreen500:
You can mount it to the back panel of the airbox, up towards the top. Leave about a 1/2 inch between the battery and the seat. You can, also, get a sub-frame from an Aussie KDX ("Streeter" 89-91?). It has a battery box mount on it.

Some batteries might even fit under the tank/in front of the air-box.

If you think you've got too much throttle hand and u don't want to take up air-box room...well...you must be D.H. or Mike LaRocco!

I used to have a smaller battery located under the left side numberplate in a little home fabricated alloy box but it dies and I have not got round to getting another.
As for the throttle thing, mune spends more time on the road than most KXs so it does get more time at full throttle, and I just don;t like the idea of filling an airbox full of crap plus its simpler to get at to charge up when needed.
