Re: Battery size ?!?!
Why do you think you need bigger?

Re: Battery size ?!?!
It would help if you put your year and model under your Avatar just in case there are differences.
My 1999 Curvy takes a 9 of whatever brand but I've just looked in my Haynes and it says YT12A-BS :O

Re: Battery size ?!?!
It's the dimensions that count methinks once you get up to the 9 or 12 as these numbers are the storage capacity in amps.You can get a 9 amp storage with the greater CCA amp than a 12 amp storage but with the same dimensions :/
Here's a useful link, https://www.tayna.co.uk/Suzuki-SV650...es-D15373.html But for my model and year.

If and when mine goes this is the one I'll most likely get, MBTX9U http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motobatt-M...AAAOSwUBlZp7hN A decent battery Tender/Charger pays for itself by not only ensuring the bike always starts but by also prolonging the battery life And as I'm a kinda,"Belt and Braces" kinda guy also recently bought one of these, http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=228128
