Yes.......and no
http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/xm...d.php?tid=9071 this thread inc stuff by Shazaam is especially good:
http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/xm...ad.php?tid=795 However, I've also sourced another option - a Varta battery originally intended for a BMW !
http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/xm...3191#pid325734 Sadly, the terminals are on the "wrong way around" eg -ve is on the left when looking down on the battery so I've had to extend both cable sets and the vent is on the other side, however - for much the same price as the 16AL/A2 you get 19Ah and a much higher cranking current.
It is taller than the OEM and needs the rubber tray removing inside the battery box but I hope these items are a small price to pay.
Good luck - Frank
