Re: Battery - SV650s 2003
I'm sure some of the more experienced posters can direct soon.
The first two letters on Motorcycle Battery designations normally are the Brand.YT stands for Yuasa. I use,"Motobatt" batteries when replacing and there seems to be a couple for your bike depending on it's style, http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr...+2003&_sacat=0 I won't entertain normal,"Lead Acid" batteries anymore.I'd rather pay the little extra shopping around.Apart from the maintenance free aspect I laid a bike down,in a small brook :O and the old lead acid battery lost it's fluid and then died not long after.Gel and AGM batteries won't do this. |

YTX 12 BS is the Yuasa type. I'm not suggesting you buy it from here but this is what went into my k4 last year.

I've got this one: YTZ14S
It's not stock but it's the same size with higher CCA and capacity.

Re: Battery - SV650s 2003
The AGM absorbed glass mat battery will give you same capacity in smaller case size or more capacity in same size case. I swear by yuasa batteries as I have never had a problem, which is more than I can say for some other makes.

Re: Battery - SV650s 2003
Another thumbs up for Motobatt, i use them exclusively now. Tons of cranking amps and very hard to kill one.
