It should work. The stock battery is rated at 11 A-h, which means your battery (10 A-h) will not be capable of storing as much energy. Your battery will not be able to start the bike as many times as the stock one would before a charge is needed.

BTW that walmart 10 is actually a 12 if I am not mistaken ... or a 11 ... some 10's are 11 and others are 12's ... I'd just toss a 12 sealed one in sideways.
Cool.
