  1. Yup. I looked under motorcycle but have had issues in their site earlier today while getting some loctite (£2 saving on a tube btw).

  2. It keeps losing my trade card registration so I have to add it back it - not the best website!

  7. I need something to counteract the weight of my pet python - keeps ripping the crotch out of my jeans - it’s a real burden. :)
     
  8. I replaced mine yesterday with a Yuasa one from Halfords. £57 down to £45.60 with the trade card and it was on the shelf. My bike now starts when I want it to (not the other way around!) so that’ll do for me.

  9. maybe of interest, i bought a Motoblat last September for my Hustler its failed already, the supplier has informed me he has had problems with brand ever since they have moved production to China. He no longer stocks Motoblat and has sent a Vertex replacement which he claims is superior . Guess where it's made ?
     
  10. This one in my 899. HUGE weight saving over o/e

  11. Just revisiting this thread for a little rant. Since this post I’ve replaced that Yuasa battery once in Jan 2022 and I need another one now too :mad:. The bike is kept on an optimiser and there’s only a one year warranty on Yuasa motorcycle batteries…grrr.
     
  12. I have a lipo in my 899; bought from my local Ducati dealer and only put my charger on once every few months only if bike not used at all over that period. Absolutely no issues with the now. 2 year old battery or starting. I think your problems are not battery related.
     
  13. I know the Datatool tracker will pull the battery down hence the optimiser. Maybe the optimiser isn’t doing its job. I’ll find out tomorrow when I test the battery at work.
