Hi All,
2008 R1200GS....
I have read and digested all the posts on battery replacement (no pun intended) and having had a bad experience with a Motobatt battery a few years ago, I have decided to go for the Yuasa. As far as I am aware, I have read that if I take the battery out there is a tray to remove which allows fitment of a bigger battery with more CCA which is what I am after, but as u can see by the photo, there doesn't seem to be a 1" platform tray on mine so I will go for the standard size one but my question is, the Yuasa one listed for my 2008 R1200Gs is only 12ah but Bmw list standard one as 14Ah although the Yuasa YTX 14 HBS which is the heavy duty but same physical size has 240cca which is higher than the original spec one even though it is a lower Ah?
Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Don't wanna buy the wrong Ah one in case it is wrong. And do all 1200GS's have the "removable tray" under the battery?
Cheers all,
Steve
