996 New Battery Required ?

  1. My 996s battery has finally given up taking charge, need a new one. Just checking if there are any specific recommendations, anything to watch out for, good place to buy from etc ?
     
  2. Just get a good make like yuasa or varta. Worth doing the starter cables while your there mate they transformed the starting of my 996

  3. Thank you. Not investigated starter cables before, how hard is that as a job ?
     
  4. Pretty straightforward, i did my 1198 in about 30 mins, and fitting instructions came with the package - see @Exige on this forum.

  6. I use Motobatt batteries in my bikes which are available at good prices from Tayna: https://www.tayna.co.uk/

    They appear to last longer if in a bike that isn't used every day/week, and recover well after a long winter break without a trickle charger.
