I'm not sure that pic was a good idea.

Perhaps if you come to the bike show at Ally Pally you will be able to meet her IRL

Oops, have I bought the wrong battery? It's an inch or 2 taller than my old one. My bike's a naked curvy btw.

The battery fits in the holder, but is too tall to sit the fusebox holder back on top.

Can you let me know what your old battery was and what you ordered?

The old one is a YT12A-BS

The new one is a YTX12-BS

Thanks for the speedy reply!

That is definately the wrong size!

You can use the YTZ14S-BS which is the same size as the YT12A-BS but higher performance.

Give Debbie a call to sort it out for you.

I feel like an idiot. I usually check things like this properly, and am the first to criticise people for this kind of thing! I thought all SVs took the same size. Oh, well, assume makes an ass of u and me!

Anyway, I spoke to Debbie, lovely woman, and have bought the other one for £48.00. I need to return the old one now for refund, she gave me a number for the return. Where do I need to write this? How do I go about sending it back. Should have asked her but I thought it'd be on the website.

Cheers

Can you just take the fusebox tray out? Try that, the tray does sod all.
