Now, I am searching for a battery for my 2000 R1 and there are a million options out there. As usual, I don't need a battery for bragging rights, so do you have any advice? I am leaning towards: https://www.amazon.com/Yuasa-YUAM621...ords=YUAM6212B Or https://www.batteriesplus.com/batter...r1/1000cc/2000 But would definitely appreciate an input and advice, if you can suggest anything else or from above? Thanks very much.
I just had mine fail recently and bought this one. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IUWLZMW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is true to size, shipped super fast, and works well in the sideways mounting required due to my undertail. I am really happy with it. Jose
The lithium batts are light weight, and expensive. Just put a good lead acid batt in there. You won't notice the weight diff except when you are installing it.
I replaced my battery with a low price gel one at roughly $35. Test to see how long it lasts, a yuasa battery is aroung $250 so I figured it was worth trying /R
Seeing its an R1 bike, do you want to go light weight? I put Shori Lithiums in both the CBR RR and the VFR. They have been great and very light weight.
Sorry to hear that. Have had several of their batteries "BIG CRANK model that have never let me down. With a trickle charger I typically get 42-48 months life span and consider that acceptable. Keep us posted on where you settle on to purchase. thanks
