I use the same battery that Locky linked above. Good manufacturer, good price

That same company also sells on eBay, where I got mine from.

+1 on Motobatt - simply brilliant battery.

My Motobatt battery seems to have given up the ghost after only 9 months! It didn't seem to be getting a suitable charge off the bike, so I connected it up to an Oxford Optimiser 900. This seems to maintain the battery at about 12.7v, but when this is back on the bike, it's not even enough charge to turn it over.

I can jump it off something else, or bump start on a slope and it runs fine - it just won't start by it's self.

All seems very odd to me!

[Jacko]

Can you try another battery in the bike?

[Mikec]

I think that's what I'm going to have to do to prove a problem - right pain really!

[Timmo]

Motobat for me 4 terminals if you need them and extra cranking power.

Mikec, contact them, at that age it's probably still under warranty.
