The battery in your Yamaha doesn't do much, other than provide storage for the charging system and help the signals and horn. You could certainly try a similar capacity in a gel cell, which is normally smaller and cheaper. A 12V5AH gel cell would likely do the trick, and they're often cheap at Princess. The nice by-product is that there is no vent, so acid doesn't drip on the frame.
