My experience with motobatt is that they have poor quality control I've had one good one and 2 bad ones.
Not a very scientific finding, but I've yet to have a bad Yuasa and Iv'e had a couple dozen of em on various vehicles

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
New front fender extender is working well keeping the mess off the engine.
I’ve also designed a seat apron which has specific Velcro slots for the panniers thereby keeping them from rubbing on the seat. Also holds the straps in place. Just lift the whole lot of the bike when you go in somewhere or leave the seat apron on to stop it getting wet.
Rear stays keep the panniers off the rear lights too.
Good set up for touring me thinks

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
I went ahead today and ordered a new/sealed Yuasa battery for the Honda Innova Scooter, looking forward to it arriving.
About to remove the exhaust for a proper clean up, a little pitted here and there with lack of use, I've let it soak in WD-40 for a few days which helps.

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
Ordered a new/original 'Yuasa' battery for the Innova Scooter, should be arriving before Friday.
By the way, I understand the Honda Innova takes 10w 40 engine oil, but any make/type in particular would anyone recommend/suggest please??

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
It’ll probably run on cooking oil
To be fair anything decent is good as it’s under a litre for an oil change if I remember correctly so cost wouldn’t be much different

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
Would the likes of the cheap 10w/40 engine oil from Tesco's do the trick Godspeed ?
