Selling 'as new' motorcycle battery 'Power Thunder' YTX5L-BS.

Dimensions are 114 x 71 x 106mm (LxWxH)  12 volt 4 Ah
Removed from a brand new bike as no longer needed. Only used to start it a few times for my initial short test rides.
$35 - can be collected at a ride or at a club meeting - probably not allowed to post it :(

PM me if interested.

Looks similar to this one:

Your new bike must have been way over weight - first the radiator and now the battery - whats next Pete? ;):)

Yes, it's a 'porker' at the moment Ken- weighs in at 105kg on my scales, without fuel.

The aim is to have it below 100kg - it shed 2kg of ADR stuff this arvo. :)

Yeah - I'm looking forward to actually riding it Ken. I've only done 11kms around the paddocks so far- damn this going to work caper :)

It's all about the power to weight ratio. Not much power to drag a heavier bike around, and I'm getting rid of all of the higher mass so that it is more stable (think of one of those old inflatable clowns that had sand in the bottom to make it constantly stand upright again when you try to knock it over).

So what you're saying is, if I fill my boots with sand, I won't fall over?

Hey Serge - good day to you. :)

If you fill your boots with sand you will be 6 inches taller so even more prone to falling over - ha ha  ;)

Sorry Pete - consider your battery site hijacked  :up:

Serge, it only works if you are inflatable (not full of hot air) :)

Don't mess with old bikers, they don't just look crazy. :)
