    Hello chaps,

    My bike is turning over a bit slow, so I'm thinking it's time for a new battery.

    Has anybody used the ttz10s instead of the ytz10s?

    The ttz10s is wet, but its half the price. Any input is welcome.

    are they both yuasa?
    on the construction, you need to fit and AGM, gel or something than won't leak when it is mounted on its side or if the bike is on its side.
    you definitely want maintenance free for the above reasons
    finally check and compare the AH and CCA. anything lower than the original spec will give you starting issues after 6~8 months specially in cold weather

    Don't forget that there are two different batteries, one for the ABS model and a standard one without.
    ABS batteries are bigger and will not fit in the standard tray.
