Think it's 14 AH .......... Yuasa 'Yumicron' is 190A cold cranking current.

Post by: mike the bike on October 26, 2015, 07:43:41 AM: Need a new battery for the Katana. What's the pro's and cons of a gel battery? It's s the same Ah, same CCA so why should I pay the extra?

Post by: Trigger on October 26, 2015, 08:17:20 AM: I will only use a gel or sealed battery because, I don't want a battery to boil acid over the nice chrome on the exhaust.

Hi Yozzer,

Yes the battery will go on its side its sealed gel.... I would try to put some sort of padding under it tho' to stop it moving/rattling about...on my bike it goes in the original batt' box

No not had a pull on the black plate to date, its gone to bed now till next spring, I have got the same plate on my Triumph Thruxton & RE 535 GT. The type of plates I use is the "Flexi plate" very thin & light & unbreakable cost Â£6.00 a piece

What i do is put the same size yellow plate underneath the black one & if the old bill pulls you make an excuse that you have just been showing the bike & forgot to take it off, then wip the black one off in front of him, that way you should just get a warning... 8)

Highly unlikely but if he does, tell him you have been to another show & use your age as an excuse for the memory laps ::).. 8)
