Battery required - SV650.org

timboid · 17-11-04, 08:55 AM

Morning guys & girls

The yellow one has caused me some grief over the last few days - took me ages to start it on Saturday (was worth it though wasn't it beautiful!) & finally bump started it after 4 runs up & down my road. Come Monday when I needed the bike for work the git wouldn't start. The battery needs changing obviously before its garaged for the winter & I was shocked to be quoted £83 for an original battery

& £53 for a Yuasa

So the obvious question - where can I get one cheaper?

Oh & BTW continue to ride safe all!

No probs.

Personally, i'd go for the new option. Dont know how the ebay one will like being transported!

I'm sure Sean has had batteries delievered next day.

I paid £42 for mine (yuasa) and that was from the local dealer.

www.bitzforbikes.co.uk is where I got mine for £39.95 plus about a fiver postage.

Came very quickly and seems fine!

I got one for a tenner off Ebay. It doesn't work very well

But then again my original's still fine so I only use the new one when I stupidly run the other one down.

Be aware there are batteries and there are batteries!

http://www.yuasabatteries.com/search.asp

the Yuasa item for the early SV650 is YT12-BS, 9.5Ah capacity, and has a cold cranking current of 175Amps. This is also used on the Hyabusa.

There is also a Yuasa battery, identical dimensions and terminals, specified for the Honda Deaville among others, YTR9-BS, 8Ah capacity, but only 120Amps cold cranking.
