Conventional motorcycle batteries reference numbers usually start with a "C" "or Y" but this is only the brand or manufacturers mark. For example: If your battery is marked GTX9-BS, you can use any other battery which will be the same if its only the thee first letter that's different, such as CTX9-BS or YTX9-BS, these are all the same battery. However some batteries begin with a 12 for 12 volts like 12N24-3 or 6 for 6 volts like 6N4-2A.
