I ordered and purchased my brand new 2014 CB1100 during May 2017. I am not sure if the dealer replaced the battery with a new one when he set the bike up for me. Understanding how our batteries can fail without notice. I figured it was time to replace it. At my age, I cannot see myself pushing a 540 lbs motorcycle fast enough to jump start it.
I ordered a new BatteryMart battery and installed it yesterday. https://www.batterymart.com/p-YTZ14S-BS-...ttery.html
This battery appears to meet the same specifications of the OEM Yuasa. At $59.95 (plus tax) and free shipping, I figured it was worth a try.
When I pulled the almost 6 year old battery, I was surprised it was not a Yuasa!![[Image: 429676a7fae38cd08aadb84bc0734fbc.jpg]](https://cb1100forum.net/forum/uploads/imp/202301/429676a7fae38cd08aadb84bc0734fbc.jpg)
Is this a cheaper brand sold by Honda dealers? I will admit that this battery gave me excellent service. For curiosity, I load tested the old battery and it passed.
I also believe in using Battery Tender Jr.(s) or equivalent.
