AGM Batteries in an R100GS
Has anyone had any experience using a gel/AGM battery (e.g Odyssey, Deka, etc) in an airhead boxer? I like the concept of a spillproof battery but from what I've read in their user manuals they are more particular about under/over charging.
I've been looking for a description of the charge curve Volts v RPM in a boxer on the web but haven't found one yet. Does anyone have any ideas, comments?
Thanks

P.S A previous owner of my bike had wired up an extra headlamp in such a way that the +12V for the new headlamp was taken directly from the connector on the back of the high beam terminal instead of via the battery and a relay. This was a very BAD thing I found the insulation on this wire had melted and was about to short out. You have been warned!
