200amp charge rate?!?! wow.. didnt know it goes that high... that sounds pretty dangerous... so does 35 amps...

I think 2amps is about as high as you want to go on a 12v battery in the 600rr. I charge mine at ~800mAH

Yeah go with the 2 amp charge. 35 is way to much. any moe then 2 amp will cuase the battery to sulflate. And the life of the battery will go to nothing. What you should do is go out and buy a product called BatteryTender. It's one of the best investments you can make for you motorcycle. It easy to use and it's safe. It great for long periods of storage or just to keep the battery at max charge. Go to BatteryTender.xom and pick up the BatteryTender plus. Its awesome it costs about 60 bucks which is nothing compared to having to buy a new battery every year. Remeber when a battery goes completly dead you can never bring it back to full charge, if you have a yusa sealed one the is. also if you overcharge a battery it will start to sulflate and it won't lsat nearly as long as it' s supposed to. The BatteryTender charges the battery fully and then keeps the charge at a float charge so it senses when it starts to lose change and then it brings it back up to full charge and keeps it there. Its a great investment.
