Starter current draw

I purchase a $300 Shorai lithium battery for my 07 Mastiff because the current battery I had( drag specialties 310cca) seemed to be having difficulty starting the bike. I got the Shorai and after about a month of use it has gone bad, but up until the day it stoped working it started the bike with ease. So I had to contact Shorai and tell them what was going on. Thats when I'm told that if my starter draws 250a or more that this battery may not work for my bike. Does anyone know how much the starters on a 07 117ci draws. I don't know why they don't list this stuff on their web sites, so people can check these things before they spend $300 bucks on a battery. I would appreciate any help with this. thanks in advance.

How many miles on the bike
How often do you ride and for how far
Do you keep the battery on a trickle conditioner
