Either this one 14LA2 (1986-1990) http://www.walmart.com/ip/EverStart-Battery-ES14LA2/16795223

or this one 14BS (1991-1993) http://www.walmart.com/ip/EverStart-ES14BS-PowerSport-Battery/16795217

It's probably printed on your old battery, and I'd bring the old battery to the store to compare too.

I just posted this today as well regarding an AGM battery close out.

It's been my experience that the Walmart motorcycle batteries are CRAP!

Just my opinion (based on several failures), but I would NEVER buy a "cheap" Walmart battery.
This is definitely one of those things that "you get what you pay for"!

I mean, I would take the battery out over the winter time, store it in a clean, dry, warm place off of concrete and charge it a few times and it would never make it through the following summer, (But long enough to go out of warranty!) Pure JUNK.

I hope I haven't gone over board, but I've had it, with Walmart batteries.

There are a lot of things you can get away with cheap, batteries (and chains) are not one of them.

I am on my second Wal-Mart battery. The first one lasted for five years and the second is two years old.
