New Yuasa Motocross Battery

[Tech]

Dealer furnished Yuasa died after 7 years.

Found the Yuasa Motocross battery here. https://www.batterywarehouseonline.com/ytz14s/

$110 shipped. Arrived promptly & fully charged @ 12.9 + volts

Hoping to get the same service out of this one.

I had a Yuasa battery in my 04 Honda CRF250 X that lasted 13 years.

What makes it a better battery for us?

Does the same battery fit 11s and 13s?

They have a good reputation and MADE IN THE USA or at least they used to be.
I see the one referenced is an AGM vs plain lead acid. I had a Motobatt AGM fail inside of 2 years.
I hope this is not a trend.

Motocross is one of Yuasa’s house or economy brands. The prices are less than OEM and quality is perhaps not the same but they are very good batteries overall.

I believe it doesn't. IIRC the 1100s use a bigger more studly battery than the 1300s.

Yuasa is all I use.

From what I have read, it is the same battery with a different label on it. I have one in my ST.

The GT series are OEM (better), the Y series are the aftermarket ones, made in PA..... I got a YT for the FJR (larger than ST battery) on Amazon.ca for C$98 at my door next day. Lucked out.

Maybe used to.
Picture shows a Made in Japan on the front.
Where is the reference that these are made by Yuasa??
I remember someone posted here saying they were, but never read anything more.

For this type and size I don't think I've ever seen a flooded cell lead acid, only seen sealed AGM. My Motobatt died a month after it's one year warranty.
