The Yamaha V-Star takes the YB10L-A2 case. The Antigravity ATZ-10 RE-START is a drop-in for that case: 360 cranking amps, 2.6 lb, a built-in jump start that saves enough charge to get you home.

The V-Star is a motorcycle where the battery changed mid-run: 1999 takes the YB10L-A2, 2000 to 2009 the YT14B-BS and 2010 to 2015 the YB10L-A2. 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 2010 to 2015 that means the Antigravity ATZ-10 RE-START: 360 cranking amps, 2.6 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.
