The Yuasa YuMicron type has slightly more plate area and is treated with a chemical that will help it recover from sulfation during periods of disuse.

12N14-3A is the stock conventional type called for in the 77CB750F microfiche.

YB14L-A2  Is the YuMicron type for the same application.    They will both work in your bike.
