Z1R Battery

#1 PostAuthor: alfacity » Thu Mar 18, 2021 2:25 pm

Looks like I’m going to need a new battery on my Z1R the current Yuasa has performed very well. So what do we recommend for a Z1R? And best place to purchase from, had a look around on the internet but always prefer good recommendations, Thanks

Don't know about you guys but I find modern batteries haven't a patch on the old ones that were full of lead! Today's are as light as a feather in comparison.
In recent years I've been using motobatt, they're a tad pricey but last a lot longer especially if you're laying the bike up for long periods like many of us.so worth the extra in my opinion.

Ordered from Halfords 'click & collect' a Yuasa YB14L for less than £50 tonight (coincidentally)
Used them for years and never left me stranded.
(Yes I did have to attach the underseat kickstart once to get me home around 1986! - but it did start)
When they fail they fail gradually - so thats a plus point for me
