Ytx9-bs

Could anyone please confirm if they have used this battery and if it would work on a 4th Gen?

Does anyone know CCA requirements for a 4th Gen?

Thanks for the help.

 

YTX-12BS is the OEM spec and rated at 180 CCA.
YTZ-12S is rated at 210 CCA, but is a bit shorter. I’ve used it before with a piece of plywood underneath to bring the terminals up to clear the battery box. I’m sure that negated the 1 lb saving.
The YTX-9BS is only 135 CCA. It may work but what’s the advantage?

 

"Plywood"?
Why not use a closed cell foam instead? MUCH lighter.

I had it lying around.

 

Thank you, I have ytx9-bs laying around and hence was wondering about it, so that at least I can ride with it
