battery choices
SeanFD:
I've been using Motobatt AGM for the last 7-8 years, with no problems. For reasons beyond my control, one of them took some abuse, was recovered and lasted for quite a while thereafter.
I get them from Tanya though you have to search for them specifically on the website.
Laverda Dave:
Mootobatt's were originally designed for snowmobiles and the harsh weather they endure so having one on a motorbike gives them an easy life 😊. I've got four in total on my bikes and never had a failure apart from when the regulator failed in my VFR and cooked it (it was so buckled and swollen it was a job to get it out of the tray!).

Thanks all. I shall persist with the manual starting method for the rest of this season and keep an eye out for any 'special offers'. I always use the kick start for a cold start anyway, just an inconvenience when cold and it stalls at the top of our road and there's someone getting impatient behind me.
Going to lash up a mini voltmeter just to keep an eye on things before a new battery goes on. Taking it through the rev range on the stand with a voltmeter clipped on the battery looks ok but no desire to go down the road with a Fluke multimeter bungied to the bars.
Regards
Dave :(

You have no sense of adventure!, you could use a small multimeterconnected inside the shell and taped to top yoke

Did similar with hand held gps once and nearly lost it in lane 2 of the dual carriageway while checking the speedometer.
Just got a miniature voltmeter from AliExpress and that was the plan now I have a switched live in the shell fused down to 3A.
Regards
Dave
