Batery

[snotie1965]

I would have thrown the battery away as well,the amount of exhausts i have seen ruined when the good old voltage regulator goes faulty and boils the battery depositing the acid on the exhausts,fit a Gel one,just my opinion!!!

Wise words..................

Just make sure the overflow pipe goes in the right place ,below the exhaust ?

Hi Z i have that bracket i but the cradle it fits into has turned lugs that look like they carry a rubber band over the top.

Problem i have with the gel batteries is that they wasn't fitted to the original.

Pretty sure my A4 had rubber strap fitted but an a4 should have the metal bracket as Z1b man says https://www.z-power.co.uk/merchantmanag ... =587,valid point about running the overflow beneath the exhausts that works ok till you ride off and the acid gets blown back onto the chrome,you pays your money you makes your choice, i am all for any uprated parts that makes these old bikes more reliable and handle better,combined voltage.reg rects,taper headstock bearings etc as long as the cosmetic looks are not affected saying that my Z1000 is a right Bitsa......
