My battery fits fine, I was supplying a measurement for the OP, and showing the make of battery that fits my K3.

I'm with grog. Yuasa batteries are awesome!

+1 on the Yuasa.
I've got a YTX14H-BS on my K7 which measures 150mm x 87mm x 145mm and it fits snugly in the battery tray.

Cheers all :-)

I've had a fair bit of bother with yuasa batteries
They aren't what they were I had 2 changed within a year under warranty.
That might have been down to the early stages of stator failing .

It happens I guess with all batteries @seth however, on the BMW GS forum I'm on, many GS owners are fitting Yuasa's as replacements for the OEM Exide's (me included) - which also happen to be the same battery as used on the 14.

I think with some of the "failings", it comes down to how well the battery has been maintained by the vendor prior to sale - having had one "new" battery on my GS which was almost flat when I first got it home (due to not having been maintained by the vendor over the 6 months since first charged), I always check the date of manufacture / charge and if more than a month or so, decline the battery

That's true barmy the 2 the failed came from halfords so no idea how they were stored the last replacement seams to be OK so far .
The r/b bike is currently back running a 17 year old original and still going strong lol

[Big Geordi]

Yuasa on my 14 and Beemer 

[Tally]

Yuasa on mine too.

Sorry for the delayed reply chaps, I ordered my batteries from the internet including Tanya batteries but for some reason they are all to tall for the tray to go in over. it's a real pain as I can't put my locks and chain under the seat now. Thanks for the replies tho.

Yuasa were pretty expensive when I wanted a Batt here in NZ   So I popped down to Repco here in town........ Katana Batt same size as original and only $120 .
12 mths warranty so I figured it was worth a punt /

A winner Mate,made by Century/Yuasa. Same batt as Yuasa with 1/2 the cost. Even a nice Suzuki name👍
