Gen 2 rsvr, is due a new battery. Anyone running a lithium? If so can you recommend what you're using. I've allways used jmp on the other bikes (none aprilia)

JMT for me on both my Apes,never had an issue with the smaller HJTX14H-FP-SI but I decided to go large with my Tuono when the old lead acid died and went up to the HJTX20CH-FP-SI with 360CCA. That was even more of a bargain as the incompetent shop duplicated my order on the same order No   To be fair I did phone them and try and return the spare but they said they were too busy to take my call and try again later  , I didn't so got a pair for about £60 odd a piece.Anyway, I can wholeheartedly recommend this battery,it's a powerhouse and weighs about as much as the cardboard box it came in. ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

| Don't for get key out ignition before changing battery and after connecting battery key on for around 10secs then off without starting, will drain battery overnight otherwise. |
