My current battery is a Varta YT12B-BS and it still is functional after 10 years of duty!
Next week I am leaving for a trip around France for a week and I don't want to push my luck to far.
So I am looking for a replacement battery. The thing is that in a 900 the battery is tilted 90 deg backwards.
Results so far.
Although they recommend it in there catalogue the new YT12B-BS Powersports from Varta states a max tilt of 45 deg.
I've put up a contact form to ask them about is but no response so far.
Yuasa doesn't recommend a battery for a TDM900! See: https://www.mlmparts...s_Apps_2014.pdf
There is a TDM850 but not a 900.
Asking Yuasa about it got me the following quick and kind response:
Peter,
We have a Yuasa brand YT12B-BS, which is the same dimensions as GT12B-4, but we don't have it available in factory activated.
Since your battery is tilted 90°, we suggest using a factory activated battery. You can try calling GS Battery to see if they can find the GT12B-4 for you.
GS Battery - 800-472-2879
If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask.
Kind regards,
Kelvin Gonzalez

I have red here about the use of a Yuasa battery in a 900, but what type do you use??
And is it safe to use?
