    Battery

    The @ is just about rebuilt.... new rear rubber needed and an MOT....
    Sure looking forward to getting on the road again after 11 months...
    The optimate is just not getting enough life into the battery so I need to buy a new one....
    Any of you got any idea how much I should expect to pay for one
    TY

    I spent £30-something on a heavy duty Varta. Either it is brilliant or I just never knew how poor the previous battery was.

    Many thanks for that guys.....
    I think I will invest in a vartra too.... I have a built in compressor for the airbed off mine and an imob.alarm.... so the extra juice will come in handy..

    Varta do a 30Ah battery (art 530 030 030 3100) but the size is L186 W 130 H 171 as opposed to the size for the 14Ah (art 514 014 014 3100) L 136 W 91 H 168....

    Im not near my bike right now.... is anyone able to do a dimension check and see if the 30Ah will shoe horn in place of the standard....

    I got a Varta online for mine (RD03) about £25 I think, pump the model ref into Google and then take your pick
