M&P, Busters or someone like that. Don't blame me when it only lasts 6 months. Look for the sealed type they are better.

I suspect they've shifted production to a new larger factory - when they first came out they were untouchable and rock solid..such a shame.
What / who are you using now Graham?

Trying out some Lucus and Exide at the moment. But, am using the sealed type as a replacement on those little yellow bastards.

The Motobatt in my Trophy 1200 has been brilliant leave the bike for months and it will always start but the one in the S4 lasted no more than a month so I replaced that with a Numax AMG thing that lasted 2 weeks.To scared to buy another battery now as its costing a fortune.

I've also used Motobatt on all my bikes (my 500/4 has one too). They've been fine.

Now I'm worried that a previously great product has been ruined by the manufacturer...

Spoke to a couple of other traders today and they all say the same. Good a few years ago but, now problems after 4 to 6 months.
