I may have been acting really stupid, but I have to ask here if anyone else has had this problem with batteries.
YTX9-BS is listed as my battery type by the Service Manual
GTX9-BS was what was attached to my bike.
XTAX9-BS is the new battery, but it doesn't fit. It sits too high in the battery box. Even the plastic Battery leads cover thing that comes with the bike sits too high.
I went to a 'Batteries Plus' Shop, and got an x2-9 series battery. I put it into the battery box, and it was TOO TALL.
This makes no sense, as side by side, the battery has the dimensions the GTX9-BS. The GTX9 is even a smidge taller.
I return the battery and get a XTAX9-BS. But the same problem. I must be doing it wrong, since I was told the '9' in the name signified a specific form factor. This makes sense to me, as the batteries were the same size.
Do I need a YTX9-BS or a GTX9-BS?
I must be doing it wrong...
