Pete - thanks for the code - thought it was that one but I don't trust my technical knowledge :lol: Nearest dealer's miles away - one of the 'joys' of living in Devon! Lots of 4wd and tractor dealers and some good farm shops, but bugger all else LOL. I do almost all my shopping online!! So - thanks for the M&P link Mincehead =D>

The guy in Halfords just looked blankly at me - if I'd wanted a stereo, alloys or fluffy dice he'd probably have understood, bloody chavs! :roll:

Out of those you listed?,YUASA every time Jak. :wink:
Most Japanese bikes are using Yuasa as factory fitment,Varta are a damn good brand name and quality kit but the others?
You might not find many good reports about those other brands.
By the way,what did ya`all think of the performance of the lithium-ion battery in that link and video I posted?
Now that IS impressive,the battery future looks bright! :shock:

The ONLY batteries I would ever use are Yuasa - they have consistently out performed any other batteries I have used, esopecially on bikes not used every day. The code you want is YTX12-BS
