Greebo:
Buy a Motobatt Battery, Dave Silver will order the correct one for you ,cost around £40, my charge shows 14.5v ... the Motobatt also gives more cranking power.

Tip when fitting it make sure the ajustable terminals are really tight !

hairygit:
I beg to differ on that score. Motbatt WERE good, but a few tears ago they changed something in the manufacturing process, and many die even before a year is up. Trigger can expand more on this problem.

Green1:
My Motobatt batteries have been very hit and miss the one in the Triumph Trophy is mounted on its side and can be left for months at a time and still starts without issues.But the one in the 750 turns over very slow after a few weeks but still usually starts.The one in the Guzzi is normally to drained after 2 weeks.But that may have something to do with the electronic gubbins.

tom400f:
I have a Motobatt in my 400f that I bought in 2013. Never do anything to it and it's fine. Cranks very strongly on the starter and is good even after a long lay up.

The other day the battery in my VFR failed at three years old. Some brand called LP fitted by the po new. Never cranked that well. Just put a Motobatt in it so we'll see how it goes but cranking much better than the LP ever did.

El__burro:
The smoke (fumes) come out of the battery when I push the start button or I jump the solenoid. (its a MF sealed battery).
Can anyone give me their opinion on MF batteries?
I guess I need to part with some cash but don't want to do the same every year.

Thanks
