Hi all, just bought a 1993 900ss. Joined this forum as I'm going to need lots of advice. First bit of advice needed is regarding the battery. Mines finished. Charged the battery, multimeter said 12.63 volts a couple of days ago. Tried to start the bike tonight and it only turned over three or four times, then nothing. So, new battery. I found one from Eurocar parts. (Which I have an account with) Exide Y60-n24l-a this has 28Ah. Is this to much? Or is it the more Ah you have, the better?
Fully charged should be 13.2 volts but 12.63v isn't to bad but that's only unloaded and it looks like loading yours soon drags the volts down 16Ah is normally enough for most Ducatis as it's standard on many from the 90's, i would have thought 28Ah would be physically to big a battery
Just compared measurements. Your right, much to big. So, any recommendations on which battery to buy. Want to stick with lead acid and not the gel type (something I read on here)
I think it was the one above but easier to phone as tech has moved on...
Thanks for that. Will ring them tomorrow. The Odyssey one is a bit rich for me. I need to spend wisely on my new toy as it needs quite a bit doing to it.
