My XT's battery knackered! Which replacement?
Just found out my battery is knackered despite spending the winter on an expensive battery charger/conditioner.
It's the original battery that has gone so I suppose 12 years isn't too bad.
I'm looking at replacing the standard fit OEM Jap battery with one of these -
ODYSSEY PC310 12V 310 Cranking Amps - Odyssey Batteries - Odyssey Drycell Batteries
It's an ODESSEY battery. Apparently these are the Dogs danglies? Sealed and therefore maintenance fee?
These SVR's look good too -
SVR Batteries - Motorcycle Batteries
I presume this particular model (Odessey) would fit my 1999 XT6E? For some reason every website listing XT's seems to end at 1995? Wierd because Yamaha didn't hit the stop button until 2003 or thereabouts. Obviously I don't want to get the wrong battery...
Is it worth paying the extra for one of these or not? If not what would you recommend?
I'd like to hear if you know a good supplier of Odessey batteries (cheapest as possible of course). This one does seem expensive I prefer to spend upto a ton.
Thanks chaps.
Neil
