You are right. But if it keeps you from having to push start it in cold weather........................

I may not need the extra amperage for starting cause I live in Tennessee. The motor still always seemed to start harder than my lower compression kawasaki Ninja 650R though.

The larger battery is near 2 lbs heavier than the stock unit. That's a lot.

Also, a battery is like a gas tank for electricity. A big gas tank that will fit in a car has no negative in operation.

Whenever I change a battery out in a car or motorcycle I always try to get a battery with the most Cold Cranking Amps as long a it will fit. No negative that I know of to doing that.

17 FJ-09
 
found connections and stator good condition. 14VDC @stator output, battery showed defect on load. Stock battery : YTZ10S 9.1AH/190CCA.  If I take the foam spacer out of the battery compartment, I can fit the larger battery. Well; I think I've got a choice of 2 batteries: The Scorpian YTZ14S, 11.2AH/230cca from Batterystuff, $70

or the XTREME from Battery plus, 11AH/ 210cca $90. I could also go w/The stock size OEM battery and is either 8.6 or 9.1 AH and 190cca.  The only extra load on bike are yamaha heated grips, a CB radio and a chain oiler. I'd get the most w/ the online store Batterystuff. would that be the best choice or stay with the stock size ?

Please help . TNX...
