so I searched on here for the battery to buy and found the es12bs from wal mart. but the terminals don't match to my 02 . what battery should have I bought?

also gas is leaking from the front of the lunchbox filter. how do I fix that?

The battery number for the GS is "10L-B2" - Walmart should have one - that's where I got mine.

Carbs might be out of whack. :dunno_white:

ES12BS needs to be dropped in sideways after re routing the negative cable through the bottom.
The K&N leaking at front = High float and overflowing.
Cool.

Yeah it will work just fine... The only thing different is the drain hose, it is on the other side of the battery (by the negative terminal) ... So you'll need to re-route it... If you don't, the battery might drain direcly onto your frame... And the corrosion sets in.
