Battery

[Geffro]

Hi chaps, just looking for a little information for my race bike. Basically my bike seems to be struggling to start, the sparks aren't strong & most of the time the battery will die after a few minutes of trying so Im gonna get another battery. Right now tho it's just the standard battery from it's road days, do you guys use a different battery for your race bikes? Cheers

I use yuasa or varta ones and i go for the hayabusa one. Its a smaller size than the standard but has more go.
Ive tired cheaper batterys and fancy expensive oddysey's... no good. Never had a problem with either of the varta or yuasa.

Actually Will, if you think how much Titanium you'd have to buy in order to save 5 lbs - The 4 cell is really cheap in comparison !

My thoughts exactly!

Was looking at them before, but wasn't too sure how long they'd last & how much power they had? :-s

Bought that battery of eBay for £46.00 delivered! That website wanted £20 delivery!!!

20 quid! christ, i did'nt see that bit.
under 50 notes for a quality battery is good i think.

It could be cos I live in the highlands tho? Most companies put us under the same prices as the islands, even tho Inverness is actually a city! Still all is well, got my bargain so I'm chuffed! Cheers Jake. Also bit of topic, but what tyre pressures do you use for the supercorsa's? 29psi front, 29psi rear?

[jake]

aye dude. I have this printed and stuck to the inside lid of my toolbox. I always forget what they are.

I write the hot pressure next to the cold pressure front and rear so when i forget, i can just glance over at the toolbox.
I set them in the morning cold. Then i set them again when the warmers are on after practice, then check after each race.
I have the warmers on all day also

Thats perfect Jake, thanks very much! Also answers the question about rain tyre pressures being higher, for me to! Cheers mate!
