I'm looking at perhaps replacing my battery. Printed in big block letters on the battery is YTZ14S. As I started searching the internet I found something strange - the polarity on every replacement battery (including this stock model) is not right. That is, the positive and negative terminal positions are reversed from what the manual and my bike indicate what I need.
So be careful when ordering a replacement battery to be sure the terminals are in the proper locations so you can actually install the darn thing. Looking at the battery from the side, where the terminals are, you need the positive terminal on the right and the negative (ground) on the left.
