Ok. Now I'm confused. The bike has got a YTX16 BS in it, which has been ok for 4 years. An online registration based tool recommends this battery. I've found a YTX16 ( not BS - does that matter?)Are you saying this battery is unsuitable - that it will be a problem? Or are you saying that there are better batteries?
What I'm puzzling about most is the "BS". I cant find any reference online to a YTX 16 - only a YTX 16 - BS. The one in it is a BS, but the new one I have just says YTX 16. It's a maintenance free AGM battery - there is no acid or anything, and it's all ready to rumble.
OK. I'm going to fit this AGM YTX16 as I've got it in my hot little hands, and it seems to fit OK, and it seems to be pretty similar to what was in there. I could get a 20, but it would take some time, and involve returning the one I've got. And all that will take longer than I've got - it needs to be running for its annual safety check.What I'm taking from this is that the 20 a/h is a better battery, but the 16 will do. Is that right?What I'm puzzling about most is the "BS". I cant find any reference online to a YTX 16 - only a YTX 16 - BS. The one in it is a BS, but the new one I have just says YTX 16.

The law changed over here recently so that you can't have bottles of acid shipped to stop you pouring it over someonehttps://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-introduces-tough-new-measure-to-prevent-acid-attacks
