    Not even close to big enough. It it has half the cranking amps of the OE Yuasa battery. Get another Yuasa http://www.yuasabatteries.com/batter...D=B191&vID=115

    Default Yuasa

    i recommend 3 batteries: YUASA, YUASA & YUSAS.....
    don't mess with 2nd rate anything... ALWAYS spend the extra few buck$, and you'll reduce your risk greatly of being stranded on the side of the road...

    Less expensive is not always the best. OEM for me on all my
    batteries. Replaced the battery on the 2011 at the beginning of this season, and the 2014 gets one next season.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    Default There you have it....

    You can shop the price but not the spec's or quality...Try cheapcycleparts.com for one and ebay also has them. Google and you may find others just get the same one....

    Lamonster's garage sells batteries. They are Motobatt, which in the motorcycle industry are considered to be a very good quality unit. His prices are very competitive, plus you support the community.

    That says it's the correct battery for a 2012 RT but it's not. Your battery should be a size 24, not 14.
