New battery - SV650.org

My battery seems to have died. Been on an optimate for a few days but no joy.
Any recommendations for places to get one from (or not if you've had a bad experience)?

thanks

Exide heavy duty - 30 quid or so from ebay

I tend to go for Motobatt. Some don't like the terminals they come with, but 30% more cranking amps tends to help a lot. Using them on all my bikes, and they seem to last pretty well. Might be worth a look.
Bit more expensive, but in my opinion worth the money.

Thanks guys. I don't do eBay, so I'll try MotoBatt

Hmm, interestingly enough, going through the series of dropdowns (650s, 2005), I can't find my bike!

MDS still offer a discount to Orgers on yuasa batterys.
Have a look on the special offers page on here.

I can second MDS think it was 10% off if you mention the forum. Order during the week and it comes the next day, amazing service.
