Z900 Battery

[Gary]

Hi,
the battery on my z900 has come to the end of it's life. can anybody help with some advice?

do i replace it with the same type (acid type) or buy a gel battery

where's the best to place to buy from and what sort of cost can i expect to pay for either type.

and to save me taking the old one out (still works after a run) can anybody tell me the battery part number (born lazy see)

thanks

Gary

Hi Gary,
how ya doin'?
The battery type for Z900 is; 12V 10AH -YB10.
There was a thread re gel batteries on the site a while ago, try doing a search for it. I think general opinion was not to use one on a Zed.
I think the last one i bought from my local friendly bike shop was about £35ish.
I have a spare Z-Power parts book if you want it, pm or e-mail me.

Is the ones I use in the 1000, it should be the same on the 9s.

no. the ones in the Z900 are smaller !

I had a problem with the battery on my Z900 and tried one from my Z1000 - it does not fit. You need a YB10

Yuasa are the best if not the cheapest.

Varta are also good quality batteries but not the easiest to find.
GS batteries as well.

Dear All,

thanks for all your advice.

all the best

Due to a PM recieved from a local "source" it would seem that Yuasa may no longer be as bulletproof as they were a few years ago - due perhaps to all the manufacture no longer being done in Japan. Feedback on recent battery purchases would be useful.

A bit of cloak and dagger going on there Chris.
