Hi.


After a month of trawling the internet I found an affordable fazer. Well i went to pick it up yesterday and I've already got a smooth bump start technique. It's always good to acquire new skills but it's not what I had in mind! Anyway, the battery is dodo dead.


I've done a bit of research and it looks like the Yuasa YT12B-BS is the best option. Before I go and buy it (it won't be for a couple of weeks as we (the mrs and I) rinsed out the bank accounts to buy the bike and pay the insurance) I want to hear your voices. I've seen someone recommend this battery on this forum, but I wanted to get a broader consensus. So what do you think? Is it a decent product?


Cheers, I always appreciate forum help

So get it and rock on!! Keep it regularly topped up and it should be fine for years. It's just a pity that you have ran out of greenbacks so you can't enjoy your bike straightaway.

thanks guys, i'll buy with confidence after receiving your advice. and, yeah, it's a bummer to be skint now but i guess i'll just keep bumping it to get it going and fill its tank before i fill my own. i'm just buzzing to be riding again after 4 years. the excitement made me feel confident and happy i just totally blitzed a job interview and got offered it on the spot so hopefully i won't be skint too much longer!!
