I got mine off eBay.... new, still boxed for £68 delivered... Private sale, no longer needed :wink:

I think they need a decent 14v charge, so all it means is the bikes system must be in GOOD WORKING ORDER, so not too LITTLE volts, nor TOO MUCH :!:

Google Odyssey & it theres a few suppliers in the UK... ones called Robots or sumink :??

Battery is in as of a few mins ago...same size as the stock unit(or the replacement that was in it) . Defo spins the engine over faster than the old one did even when fully charged.

It's cold and wet here today, so unless that changes, it won't be going for a run today :(

I stuck a fairly cheap gel in my Zed and it seems absolutely fine. I am trade so I got it pretty cheap and thought it worth the gamble. Since I restored my bike I have new windings, modern reg/rec and I built a new loom so it has to be said that my wiring is tickety boo. I have no idea how long it will last, but so far so good. It was certainly cheaper than a conventional Yuasa.
