Don't know if you know this but you can get a Trade Card from Halfords really easily. Even if your not in the trade there are ways round it. A Yuasa YB12A-A is just under £38 from Halfords with a trade card. If you haven't got a trade card PM me and I'll tell you the secret. Will cost around £5-10 to get one but you'll get that back very soon, I buy my oil, spray paints and any batteries and tools from Halfords now and I've more than made that back. Of course if you also have a car it will also help get the cost back.

I've actually got one but always forget to use the bloody thing after getting tools ages ago  !!

Off to get one tomorrow :)

Can you not tell us the secret here, or will you have to shoot us if you do? :)

Hi,

Has anyone fitted a Lithium battery to their SOHC bike  ? I have fitted lithium batteries to the NS400R and ZX6R track bike and I am very happy, my 550 has a modern regulator/rectifier fitted so should be OK on having a stable charge rate, unless anyone knows any reason why not ? I am a bit of a weight reduction obsessive with my bikes hence the lithium battery option.

Bryanj:
May be modern reg rec but is it lithium compatible

I fitted a Motobat MB12U and it’s been great. Went for maintenance free as I got fed up not being able to easily see the fluid level in my previous unit without taking it off the bike. The plastic case just too opaque 🙈🙈🙈
