Ok thanks for your help, quick question.

The Battery i need is a YB10L-A2 12Volt-10AH according to the Z900 A4 parts list.

I can find the battery but they are all 11AH and not 10!! does it matter?

the 11AH will work fine for the 900a4. You will need a 14AH for the earlier 900`s. :)

I'm not sure now it even came with it. Anyway managed to get some at the weekend and battery fully charged.

Should there be a rubber strap that goes over the battery to hold it down. looked on parts catalogue and nothing!

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!!!
