Title: Battery, help, noob.
Post by: MoToFaLcon on January 05, 2015, 02:04:43 AM

I have a 2013 agility 50 and have a battery question. :-[  In my owners manual, it says to use a 12v 6ah battery with 7a fuse, but in my scooter, it has a 12v 4ah kymco gtx5L-bs battery. IMO a good enuff replacement would be a Yuasa ytx5l-bs (12v4ah) but my question is where in the world could i find a size 5L 6ah battery? All i found was a 7L 6ah thats too tall?

You can go up in the ah rating. All of these battery manufactures have a size chart, and most of them are on line. I always suggest getting the highest ah rating in a size case that will fit your bike.
Have you physically measured your battery compartment? That's really the first step.

If you go up in ah, does the fuse size stay the same?  I need a darn class in motorcycle mechanics 101 for Christ's Sake >:(  Im guessing no.  But yea i'll measure it and check size chart. May take awhile, lost access to tools cuz i quit a construction job. Hafta buy new ones. 220 peice kobalt set $120 & a 50 peice air tool set w air compressor sounds like a good start (+ tape measure)?  Anyways, i may never even have to change the battery because I might, in 3-4 months, sell the a50 to help get me a 2015 honda cbr300r or a cb300f or go all out and getta cbr500r!! Had to share, so excited!! But will also own a secondary kymco cuz i love kymco!! Was thinking about a Venox 250 if available in u.s.? I'm rambling sorry, but ok thx zombie, good lookin out brother, you deserve a medal or something. Ok im dun....

Your fuse stays the same. It only protects the circuits, and nothing there will be different. You will only be gaining available power. Like a bigger pump on the same size hose.

No real need for a tape measure on bikes. A set of Vernier calipers comes in handy tho...
