Hey guys,

As the title goes what would you suggest to replace the battery with and also where would you go and pick one up? Price? Brand? Part #?

Bike doesnt start on the first crank.. sometimes it takes 3 shots or more but once it starts and warms up every single crank after turns over on a first shot.

Thanks.

I've always just gone to Canadian Tire and bought the battery their Motormaster brand that fits the bike. Price is decent and works great. Easy peasy.

Royal distributing has a decent cheaper line of batteries and the premium yuasa ones. I have had terrible luck at Canadian tire the bike batteries there are expensive and terrible quality they die after a month or 2.

Wow, lousy luck scuba! I got 7 seasons out of my last can tire battery and only changed it because of its age. Was still working fine .

How would I source one for a 2010 YZF R1 exactly?

My guess is they are using the same product number as Yuasa batteries so you would need this one

The old style flooded ones were fine it is their agm ones that I have had trouble with. Lots of terrible reviews on the website about the agm as well.
