Have a 14ah Yuasa in my Mk 3 - just fitted in the available space although can hardly get a cigarette paper between battery top and frame tube member. Starts bike OK but never use it as motor kick starts firsttime always with Boyer ignition fitted.

I have a

CT14-A2 Motobatt Motorcycle Battery, from Busters Via eBay,it has 4 connection points , makes life easy to to route heavy duty starter cables on one set and lighter cables to the other pair . I always use the electric start . Podtronics reg/ rec and latest Boyer, system works fine.

As Katherine says, plus use the heaviest cables you can for the starter. When I refitted mine I used a Mini solenoid which fits nicely where the Norton one was. Then another thick cable to the starter motor.

.

I have a DEKA ETX15 AGM 230 CCA (made in USA )90 pounds since 5 years for my 850 MK3,no troubles and only Ã?lectric start,but with bigs cÃ?bles and new Prestolite (CNW or HNW).

James many thanks for the reply. Are you in the UK. Just used your link above to see that they don't export to the UK?

regards

sorry I am located in the USA

Then take a DEKA

I'm using a Moto Batt MBTX 12 U on my mk III, it turnsthe E/S without issue & runs the Boyer (without lights) for +/- 175 milesfrom full to Carole Nash call - it seems that my ignition warning light really was working & I have a charging issue to resolve!

The Moto Batt is smaller (comes with a 'stand' if size is an issue)& was cheaper than the YUASA, Ipurchased it from GP Perfromance in Burcot on the A4074 (they were very helpful).Used to see a lot of bikes there for the H CafÃ? (?) on a Monday night as I was heading to work in Berkshire.
