Pls help. Battery dead. Need replacement.
I didnt use my 09 sportster for a month due to continous rain. tried to start it yesterday but was totally dead. Charged the battery. Still doesnt have enough power to crank the motor. I guess i need to get a replacement. Problem is theres NO harley dealership in my country. I called a shop & they said they have a YUASA YTX141-BS that should work. I gave him the measurements of my stock battery & his battery was slightly longer about 1/4 inch. Would this fit? The battery compartment is kinda tight. I wanna make sure it would work coz once they put in battery solution theres no returning it. I live in an island w/c the only way is by air or sea. So wanna make sure its correct.They were asking me the battery model, but its not written anywhere on the battery. Thanks in advance.
I looked it up on Yuasa's web site. Your part # is off a bit though. You'll need a YTX14L-BS. The part # for your OEM H-D battery is 65958-04.
From measuring a battery I took out of my 08 and crossing it with the measurements on Yuasa's site the height is the same, the width will be 1/8" wider and the length will be 1/8" longer. It's tight enough as it is but I think you'll be fine.
I also checked the polarity of the Yuasa YTX14L-BS (where the positive and negative lugs are) and they are the same as your OEM H-D battery.
