YUASA Motorcycle Battery

YUASA Motorcycle Battery. As I mentioned in The Amazing Ten-Year Motorcycle Battery, the YUASA YTX12-BS OEM battery in my '98 Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird lasted twice as long as I expected.

Cliffhanger, we were parked next to a steep drop off. I've taken many thousands of photographs of motorcycles and this is one of my favorites. Yeah, I'm biased, I love riding my CBR954RR.

Taylormade Racing announces 2009/2010 Suzuki GSXR 1000 GP Style Exhaust

Once again, the TaylorMade Racing’s team has created a totally unique clean style for your 2009/2010 Suzuki GSXR 1000. Combining high design with race proven engineering, the new S9 kit will blow you away with both looks and performance. Our underbelly muffler is dedicated to maximizing volume in the space available under the engine. Our exhaust has a fantastic sound that will stir the soul without going overboard.

The TaylorMade Racing 2009/2010 Suzuki GSXR 1000 kit is a slip on that eliminates the stock box and muffler, saving more than 20 pounds! The kit comes with both right and left side carbon fiber trim panels to blend the stock fairing into that aerodynamic MotoGP style. TaylorMade Racing’s carbon trim panels are 100% carbon fiber, with a natural lightweight race finish.

On the dyno combined with a PowerCommander V, the performance is an additional 10hp at the peak and +8hp mid range, that’s a 10% increase in power midrange! The kit comes with detailed installation instructions and all mounting hardware.

Buying a replacement motorcycle battery? Who made it, and how to make it last longer.

Spring is on the way, and if you aren't lucky enough to have a long-lasting motorcycle battery, you're probably going to be buying a new motorcycle battery soon.

Here are a couple of resources that can help you choose a new motorcycle battery.

First, here's a Consumer Reports automotive battery article that says, in part:

Most auto batteries are made by just three manufacturers, Delphi, Exide, and Johnson Controls Industries. Each makes batteries sold under several different brand names. Delphi makes ACDelco and some EverStart (Wal-Mart) models. Exide makes Champion, Exide, Napa, and some EverStart batteries. Johnson Controls makes Diehard (Sears), Duralast (AutoZone), Interstate, Kirkland (Costco), Motorcraft (Ford), and some EverStarts.
