Battery Advice?

Now, I am searching for a battery for my 2000 R1 and there are a million options out there. As usual, I don't need a battery for bragging rights, so do you have any advice?

I am leaning towards:

https://www.amazon.com/Yuasa-YUAM621...ords=YUAM6212B

Or

https://www.batteriesplus.com/batter...r1/1000cc/2000

But would definitely appreciate an input and advice, if you can suggest anything else or from above? Thanks very much.

 

Thats a good one. I had that in my VFR for 7 years. Can't go wrong with it

 

Motobatt

 

Yeah I am still torn

Not sure if there are any cheaper options out there!

 

I just had mine fail recently and bought this one.

It is true to size, shipped super fast, and works well in the sideways mounting required due to my undertail. I am really happy with it.

The lithium batts are light weight, and expensive.
Just put a good lead acid batt in there.
You won't notice the weight diff except when you are installing it.

 

Battermart

Good prices and often free shipping.

Their product is excellent.

 

Current one I have is from batterymart, it's ~$55 and didn't last more than 3 years.

 

I replaced my battery with a low price gel one at roughly $35. Test to see how long it lasts, a yuasa battery is aroung $250 so I figured it was worth trying

Seeing its an R1 bike, do you want to go light weight? I put Shori Lithiums in both the CBR RR and the VFR. They have been great and very light weight.

 

Thanks, I am a cheap bastard so would rather stick to heavy ones

 

Sorry to hear that.

Have had several of their batteries "BIG CRANK model that have never let me down.

With a trickle charger I typically get 42-48 months life span and consider that acceptable.

Keep us posted on where you settle on to purchase.

thanks

 

Thanks guys, pulled the trigger on Amazon for Yuasa

Let's see how it'll perform.
