Hi,
I fit a gel version on my 89 model, it is perfect.
As for winter, well, we are now in summer so will see later :)

Actually, no: I use the bike all the time, winter, summer, sun, rain, hail and snow, ...

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

As it happens, I ordered a new Yuasa Yumicron from Tayna only last night & i've been advised that delivery will be tomorrow. The previous one I bought in 2014 so it did better than expected & better than the gel type that's fitted to my R1.

I've used them for my car battery as well, which was exactly the right battery for what I needed & arrived pre-filled.

I also ordered an Optimate charger that will charge the lithium battery that i've got for my KTM enduro. The Tayna page says they'll compete with anyone quoting a better price than they do, so they're very competitive

I've used Motobatt before and they've been good. MBTX14AU instead of YB14-LA2
(last one lasted 8 years)
