[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 123019, member: 60"] The recommendation is a 18AH battery I have been using a 12Ah because I had a new one and it would fit without modification and it happily starts it. but now I have used it a bit I can tell by my ammeter it needs time to recover as I ride away. I think in a error situation it would run out of puff (its a magneto bike). Ian Savages answer of a lithium inside the hollowed out case is the best if expensive answer. The CCA of lithium has to be experienced to believe. Ben had an Egli in with a silly CR big carbs and open pipes. A car battery would not start it but a lithium did, I think he fitted two in the end, they are small enough and weigh nothing and hold their charge for ever. [/QUOTE]
