Do i have the correct battery?

I have just purchased a sv650s 1999. I got it from a friend and i know it has had charging problems. However the recitifer has been replaced and everything sees ok.

Currently i cannot check the charging system properly as it not insured at the moment.

I just have a quick question the battery model does not match the one specified in the manual. Could this have caused the issue?

Th Battery says - CTx14-BS

Part Number 712140.

I a going to investigate the problem this weekend when i do some maintenance.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

I have a Yuasa YTZ12S.
Fitted for me by the (Honda) dealer that I bought the bike from.

Sounds like you have a battery more heavy duty than you maybe need. So it should be fine! :)
