Re: recommendations for a new battery.
I got a http://www.yuasa-battery.co.uk/motor...batteries.html and went for the high capacity replacement, not the straight replacement. Its twice the size but strong as anything (plus handy of you want to run heated grips/Sat Nav etc).

but is it as good as one costing twice as much? or is it worth paying for a better/stronger battery? Last edited by hovis; 22-10-08 at 05:59 PM. |

Will dig out the part No as its a beast, feels like it could turn a truck over! Even with my old battery on full charge, you could feel the electrics slightly labour when trying to turn over. With this, the bike literally explodes into life as soon as the starter is prodded and its the same when left for a few weeks with the alarm on. But if you are not planning on keeping the bike for any amount of time i'd go for the eBay one above and save some cash - it'll do the trick. BTW - mine is a pointy, dont know whether the battery compartment on the curvy is a different size? |

Yuasa 'YTX12-BS MG' Looks like its K3+ only though. Looks like that eBay one has similar part No. Different make and has acid pack - mine is sealed Gel.
