Battery

I would go motobatt, i suppose others will disagree

 

I won't!! Most impressed by mine!

 

Motobatt vote from me fitted to my 2010 speedie, the higher CCS is so noticeable, it is a much improved turnover when starting up, even on winter -2c winter mornings. Much more positive, stronger and reliable

 

Thanks for this, I'd never heard of them but will bear it in mind. My 955i Daytona always turns over slower than I'd like despite a good battery.

 

There is a std. modification for this engine to improve current flow to the starter motor by using larger diameter copper core cables. Apparently it increases starter motor speeds significantly.

 

Oh, excellent, thanks for that - I'll have a look in to that and will certainly do it. If anyone has any good leads (excuse the pun) on where to source the, er, leads from - I'd appreciate it. Sorry for hijacking.

 

I've hear peeps using old 'jump lead' cables to do the job.

Have a look here, I know it's on the 1050 section but essentially it's the same motor:

For cables look on Ebay,like these:
