22 months of ownership, many months of making sure battery conditioner is plugged in, now it gave up holding charge! Motobatt CTX9 fitted (what a chore) but I'm thinking that its not as good as when the original was in tip top condition. When the fan cuts in the headlight dims, I'm sure I did not notice that before? What's the crack?
Bloody Batteries!!!

#2Maybe you got a bad battery, don't they have a 12 month guarantee? Maybe give there customer line a call and they will exchange it.

the headlight dim is probably quite normal as the system is loaded when the fan cuts in , probably when you rev it a little it all would be normal again .
quickie for you , those moto batt batteries , they same size as original ?, because its all a bit tight .

#5Yes same size, but acid absorbed in some sort of glass fibre, supposed to have more cranking power - not sure about that either! Real pain in the ass changing battery - wiresville!

#8I have motobatt baterries on three bikes including the SD, I cant fault them, they do need an overnight trickle charge before first use though
