HI All,

I think my GSXR's battery needs replacing. what's the best make of battery to get? Still Yuasa or has something else got the top spot?

Cheers

Varta pretty good

I have fitted motobatt AGM batteries to my bikes with electric starts, they put out more power and the charge lasts longer , they are sealed but not gel , the acid is absorbed in Fibre glass , the honda 650 single cranks over 50% faster i reckon than using a standard battery

I'm still using Yuasa on my gixxer with no problems, but I'd be interested in the batteries that Merv recommends, anything that happily turns over a big Single has got to be good ;)

I use a motobatt on my 1200 bandit
cost about £50 comes fully charged with 2 year guarantee
just fit and go

I've got a Varta on the KTM. Got a discount on it and it was half the price or more of the equivalent Yuasa. My Reg/Rec generally fails before my battery and ends boiling the battery to death anyway!

Just put a new Motobatt in my trumpet (yesterday). The standard Yuasa was goosed and I now believe they are made in China and are actually shite. The Motobatt is superb, not only does it turn over quicker but it lasts a lot longer as the bike has to live outside. Go for the Motobatt

have a close look at ya motobatt Goaty

Obviously not made in the same factory then. I meant that they are now shite because of the factory used.


Just to emphasise my point

nowt wrong wiv em goaty, just pointing out they are made by chinks as well

A few lithium batteries around if you want to shed some weight. Advantages and disadvantages though, have a Google.

Use a Motobatt in my bike. One of the few things that always works properly

I ended up using a Motobatt. Was cheaper and seems to do the job fine. Didnt need messing around with. Just plug in and go.

Cheers
