Hello Guys

I have a question relating to adding an alarm and L.E.D. lights to my Yamaha YBR 125.

do i have to change the battery when adding extra's to the bike or will the standard battery be enough?

Not really book states 12v 5aH up to 2006 then 12v 6aH from then on

No, you don't need to change battery. If you added high output tungsten lights, you might need a more powerful alternator, not a battery.

Thank you guys

The alarm on mine tends to take quite a bit out of the battery which isn't a problem when it's ridden every day but if I go away for a couple of weeks the battery indicator shows a bit low. I fitted a new battery in case it was the battery dying but the new one does exactly the same.

I use a CTEK charger so it's not a problem but just check how much the alarm draws if you don't ride every day.

if you do leave it for long periods, have a look at solar chargers if suitable to use, most only require daylight, and will just keep a battery maintained on a low trickle charge, i use one for my leisure battery which i have had for over 5 years and still in peak condition,
