The Kawasaki Z1000SX takes the AT12BS case. The Antigravity AT12BS 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. Antigravity's list names the AT12BS for this model; Yuasa's guide names the YT12A-BS case for some trims. Go by the code on your old battery.

The Z1000SX is a motorcycle where the battery changed mid-run: 2010 to 2013 takes the YTX9-BS and 2014 to 2016 the AT12BS. 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 2014 to 2016 that means the Antigravity AT12BS 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. Antigravity's list names the AT12BS for this model; Yuasa's guide names the YT12A-BS case for some trims. Go by the code on your old battery. Charge it with a lithium-compatible charger or maintainer for the off-season and it outlasts the lead-acid battery it replaces by years.
