Battery for XL1000 Varedero

[Jonah]

Yes yes i know its a BM site , but i have an XL 1000 in the garage that needs selling otherwise Mrs Jonah will string me up by my B****cks . The problem is the battery is kaput and im loathed to buy a new one if im gonna sell it. Anybody help me out with sourcing a second hand one ( the type is CTX14-BS ). Sounds a bit tight i know but BMW bits a shouting the loudest at the mo

Don't be such a pikey!

A potential new owner is going to be more impressed with a shiny new battery under guarantee.

http://www.motorbikebatteries.co.uk/ has pattern ones for £27.99 plus £7.99 P&P. Similar price from Ebay vendors.

If you really want a used one then go to a breakers. It's a very common fitment (YTX14-BS should fit too) used by most of the bike manufacturers.
