Why the LIYON YTX14-BS for Your Machine?
In this displacement class (800cc to 1300cc), compression ratios are high. A weak battery often leads to error messages in the on-board computer or starter failure.
The LIYON High-Performance is characterized by a particularly high plate density. This means for you:
-
Reliable Start: Even if the machine has been standing in the pass for two weeks.
-
Vibration Protection: Especially important for two-cylinder engines and off-road enduros.
-
Long Service Life: High-purity lead alloys prevent premature sulfation.
Technical Data: 12V 12Ah | CCA: 200A | Dimensions: 150 x 87 x 145 mm
Ideal for:
-
Adventure Enduros: Many models of the BMW R-series (GS), KTM Adventure, Triumph Tiger and Honda Africa Twin.
-
Cruisers & Tourers: Honda Shadow, Kawasaki VN models, Suzuki Intruder.
-
ATVs & Quads: Various models from Polaris, Yamaha and Can-Am.
Your advantages:
-
High Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): Effortlessly starts even large-displacement two-cylinder engines.
-
Weight Advantage: Reduces weight by approx. 3–4 kg compared to lead-acid batteries.
-
Safety: Absolutely leak-proof and vibration-resistant (ideal for off-road).
-
Longevity: Significantly more charge cycles than standard batteries thanks to intelligent lithium technology.
