Can't seem to edit my posts - says HTML code is off.
Anyway re. the battery - it may be my Rob Hunter YTX14-BS is under- performing.It's hardly had any use
but has stood for a few years with regular Optimate charge.
The Varta is 1Ah less than the Hunter but if it turns your twin over ok then i'll go for it.
