No, the stock YUASA wet cell battery is 200 CCA.
My UB12180 (my current 9 year old battery) is 283 and the APX12220 is 420 CCA for about $50 shipped (that will be my next battery).

Good cause it damn sure wont crank it without jumping. Charging system is strong. Wont turn it over fast enough to start it. I put on new cables and cleaned all grounds and even rebuilt the starter assuring it was good contacts in case as well.
So I hope a new higher cca battery will cure.

 

[Jayber]

just ordered it so ill report how it works next week

Dragmaxster turned me on to that battery last year and omg does it crank every time- hot or cold. Many thanks.:clapping:

It was actually $30 cheaper than the 175cca one I purchased :bang head:

And I'm guessing he read about it here since he only joined this forum a few months ago.

Review:\

Well it does crank the bike but not like I expected it to do. Still a little hesitant for my comfort zone. Maybe Ill go ahead and step up to the 4 brush starter.

I have them as one of my sponsers.

Between the batter and the starter my bike starts like new ones.. I used to clean the contacts in the starter and make sure it had a good connection almost yearly.. The 4 pole is a good starter.. I am sure you can get a used one that will last you for the bike...

Nice !

 

[Jayber]

Funny I read reviews that say with good grounding the 2 brush is fine but guess in my situation it isnt. It starts hot or cold but not to my standards. Guess Ill hit up ebay for a 4brush

If you mean direct wiring the positive R/R lead to the battery (with an inline 30 Amp fuse) read this:

That eliminates the "Notorious Crimp" from the system completely.

Yes that mod. Helped my starting/ charging issues.

A new one is $79 shipped on E-Bay. I'm waiting for my own to arrive. That and a new battery with 420 cca, and new cables. "When in doubt throw it out" Not starting right up hot is not an option for me.

 

[Jayber]

Yes Ive already eliminated the crimp wire. Ive also ran new cables. Charging isnt a problem. It has to be the starter itself. Ill soon find out.
sdt which seller on ebay are you buying from?
