Battery question for a 99 busa - FONC - 21-07-2010
Hello to all. My 99 busa has a Deka ETX12 Battery but from what i read on this forum a YTZ14S appears to be the popular choice,the workshop manual calls for a YT12A-BS. Can anyone tell me which battery you recommend for a 99 model. Cheers fonc

Many on here will only use Yuasha battery's ,I'm Not one of them , I have been told that not All Yuasha's are made in Japan But aslo in China with the supposedly inferior one's .If the cold cranking hrs & terminal position is the same who care's .I Personally reckon The oem is over rated & Overpriced ,but many disagree.I am currently using a copy of the 14s $139 delivered . No probs in the fst 12 mths .Mine is a 2000 & I Run HID"S, & Heated vest & gloves in extreme cold . ( Under 15 degrees ,I'm old )

I went for one with the same CCA's but weighs ove 1.2kgs less. Just take yours to a "Battery World" place and compare for yourself!

I put a Deka in my wifes VTR 1000 about 4 years ago and haven't had an ounce of trouble with it. Also had a Deka in my 03 GSXR 1000 for about 2 years before I sold it and had no trouble with it either. So when the battery dies in my Busa, i'll be headed straight to my local Deka oulet.

I will only buy Yuasa, maybe coz my last one lasted 9+ years.

My current deka was brought in 04 and still great , not in daily use or kept on a trickle charger ,but always works

I can't remember what type of battery I'm running, but it's a little more powerful than the OEM battery. I've had no problems with it.

Hi to all after looking on the net for batteries for my bike i ended up at battery world ,holden hill adelaide,not far from where i live,and picked up the oem YTS 12A YUASA for $140 took it home put it on the float charger for a few hours as recommended and what a difference on cold (and hot)startup, bike fires up almost instantly.I guess being my first hayabusa and buying second hand i didnt realize the battery was a bit tired,and also the importance of using a good fully automatic float charger and not just a trickle charger which may not turn off when the battery is full resulting in a cooked battery,will keep it in top condition while the bike sits idle between rides. cheers fonc

sorry greeny didnt mean to mislead you, i live at hillbank and bought the battery from holden hill which to me at 15 mins away is "not far from where i live" Tathra sounds great but my daughter is expecting a baby around 5th dec making me a first time grandfather.Wifey gave me three clear choices when i mentioned Tathra, I can stay home,stay home or stay home. Also after reading your posts i called in on your suspension guy today after work and you are right ,he knows his shit.We discussed body mass and spring rate etc and he gave me a quote to rebuild the forks with gold valves etc and a price to do the rear shock,then set the suspension to suit me and my style of riding.He comes across as being very knowledgeable ,all this while he was suffering a migrane. cheers FONC
