The BMW K1200S takes the YTX14-BS case. The Antigravity ATX12 RE-START is a drop-in for that case: 360 cranking amps, 3 lb, a built-in jump start that saves enough charge to get you home.

The K1200S is a motorcycle where the battery changed mid-run: 2003 to 2004 takes the YT19BL-BS, 2005 the ATX20 and 2006 to 2008 the YTX14-BS. The plate above names the source for each year, and the table shows every run we have on file, so match the year to the case before you order.
For 2006 to 2008 that means the Antigravity ATX12 RE-START: 360 cranking amps, 3 pounds, the same case in lithium. Its RE-START function puts the battery to sleep before a parasitic draw can drain it, then wakes it with one press for a jump start. Charge it with a lithium-compatible charger or maintainer for the off-season and it outlasts the lead-acid battery it replaces by years.
