YTX-YTZ battery ....

[birdie_xx]

I'm having some low state of my battery so I thought I'd check the prices on the replacement (this one is only 2 years old I think ) and I looked at Ron Ayers page.

They list the YTX-12BS battery that I have and the YTZ-12S, which is twice as expensive ! :shock:

Any idea what the difference is ? Are they equipped on the newer bikes ? Mine is the '99.....

Cheers,
