I had to replace the YTX9-BS in my 2010 before I could use it below freezing. I replaced it with a KMC replacement that lasted 2-3 months. The KMC battery was rated for 170 CCA but struggled one the temps dropped below 0 C. I was lucky to start the bike at -6 C. I was wondering if the YTX9-BS performs okay below freezing. If not, what replacement would you recommend?
