Yuasa's website lists the YB7-A for your '70.

Thanks and cheers,
Fred

Fred,
It has more amp-hours. Amp-hours are not cranking power. More amp-hours is what keeps your lights from draining the battery when you're idling at a stoplight. With the always on headlamp, I'd opt for as many amp-hours as I could stuff in the hole.

I've been having good luck with a Canadian Tire motomaster battery. I leave the headlights on as it's a ticket not to have them on at all times and the battery hasn't run down yet.

It's not the brand the Titan came with, but it's pretty much period to run a Crappy Tire battery in your bike up here :lol:

Yup, theres nothing like a good quality Yuasa for a bike. With regular maintenance they can last for a good few years.
Cambodian tyres motomaster brand will get you home in a pinch, but i would not set out to buy one as a long term decision.
Two strokes, its just that simple.
