Sorry to bring up an old topic. I use silkolene 10/40 in mine. I can't remember whether it's fully or semi synthetic. Why can't fully synthetic be used?

well it's all back together and running a cool 14.25 volts
a MASSIVE thank you to all of you for your comments an pics. They've helped a lot

This'll be ok won't it? Would prefer one like the chunky one but I'm only using it once

Awesome Now if I can find those on ebay

I don't suppose anyone could provide a link to the right crimping tool on ebay could they? The cheaper the better as it's only going to be used this one time, but I do want to do it properly.

Is it ok to use the original top bolt location and put the recti there? Do these get hot enough to damage the fairing plastics? I did think about making an aluminium plate so shift it further up to the wider part of the fairing. Obviously I'll rehouse the indicator relay somewhere else but that's an...

Well I'm one third of the way there. Got my battery to pick up on bank holiday. Most places charge more to deliver to the Isle of Wight so thats at my dads house. Ordered the connector kit and the rectifier came today. And my GOD!! That thing is HUGE!I wasn't expecting it to be that big. I can see w...

That's brilliant. Thank you. Will get one of those on order. Won an R1 Rectifier earlier so that will be on it's way. I was worried about the motobatt as all the pictures show a plate at right angles to the battery itself. But seeing yours (assuming you didn't have to buy any other bits to make it f...

I don't seem to be able to find a motobatt with a height of 110mm.
also do you have a pic of your motobatt fitted? I'd really like to see these terminals.

ok. I did wonder as the terminals on the motobatt are different to yuasa's.

Did yours come with any extra connectors in the box? all the pictures I've seen of these batteries haven't got that 'cube with holes' type of terminal that my old dynavolt and Lucas had. They have L shaped terminals.

Well one of the units was brand new but unused. Plugged it in and the initial reading was lower then that crept up. With regards to batteries, I would like to put a yuasa on there as I rarely run any accessories. Only a sat nav rarely and the alarm which gets armed sometimes. I have seem motobatt ba...

I love this site

well I've ordered a connector kit for the yamaha r1 mosfet recty. I do think in order to prevent any damage to that I'll get a new battery. Prevention is better than the cure :0

So in your opinion would you replace the battery or keep it as it is. Or for the sake of £35 buy another and have a safe charging set up?
