Could you not just buy the right Honda one and know it fits?

yeah for a lot more money , the one I've got was funnily enough recommended by a Honda main dealer......

Changed the reg and battery , not the battery it had in it but very close specs , started after a bit of a moan (not been started in couple of weeks) it's charging battery so looks good , my only question is about the battery I've put in it as to do I need to replace it , it was fully charged about 8 months ago has magically kept a full charge according to charger , the thing that's worrying me is ,it's been on a radiator for a couple of months is the heat from that going to have damaged the battery?

Keep it warm?

It was the wrong battery , just chucked it in spare room and forgot about it

Fucking broke down on way to work , complete loss of power , am I correct in assuming that it is impossible for it to be caused by the battery as the bike was running?

Alzo · December 19, 2016, 08:00:56 AM

No

Carbon_ZX6R · December 19, 2016, 10:56:35 AM

I'm wrong about battery or right?

You are WRONG. It could be the battery.

For gods sake just buy a brand new bike, and never do ANY work on it yourself!

Sounds like a plan
