splash £20 extra on a decent one (varta et al) and maintain it with an optimate and it'll last longer than the bike...

Re: battery
My experience is described here:
http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=83459 In the end I paid £61.98 including delivery. And, I think, the battery I bought is pretty good. |
