Battery Advise Please

[Antiquebiker]

I need a new battery for my 2011 GSA.
The current one is a YUASA YTZ14S MF.
mdsbattery.co.uk do these for £78.99 delivered but only lists it as a YTZ14S with no mention of the MF?
Can anybody tell me if this is the right one for my bike or recommend a suitable replacement please.
Many thanks

MotoBatt MBTX12U

The moto batt's are very good, & the ones I've seen have 2 positive & 2 negative connections so you can balance out any direct to terminal connections

+3 For Motobatt Dead easy to wire up extra connections like Optimate etc look on the bay @ around £50

Thank you everyone for the advice, will get one ordered straight after the bank holiday.

I paid £39 delivered for my Motobatt. A good battery and great value.

Get a low cost AGM like Motobatt or go daft and get a Ballistic LiFePo. The latter is much smaller and lighter so could go elsewhere on the bike leaving room under the seats for a bigger butty box & flask.

Whats the difference between the MBTX9U and the MBTX12U batteries?

just google and you will find http://www.motobatt.com/MBTX12U and http://www.motobatt.com/MBTX9U and you will see there is a difference in height and amps. There's a helpful list of bikes each battery fits.

Thanks. From your links then the MBTX9U is the correct battery for my 09 GSA.

Google will find all you need to know -

http://www.motobatt.com/MBTX9U has 10AH capacity ("perfectly" logical numbering)
http://www.motobatt.com/MBTX12U has 11AH capacity (also just as logical logical)

Before ordering, I telephoned Mad4bikes to check which one I needed for my 2011 R1200GSA.
The MBTX12U is for the earlier non adventure models.
The MBTX9U I ordered arrived today and fits perfectly, it is 2cm shorter than the 12U.
Bike now running, very happy!
