But it hasn't run for a while as one cylinder lost compression and I replaced the barrel and piston. Then went to work in Indonesia. My '85 Cagiva had no kickstart. So not having one is not "modern" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canthai55 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Bought many batteries here. All use the same part number, with only the first letter changed Y for Yuasa, etc ... All are identical except for this number Leads me to believe they are all made in one factory with a different case printing All last about the same length of time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stament Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 Decided to go for the 7amp hour (same dimensions) after recommendations from sellers and this thread. What the heck it might be THB c140 more expensive than the 5amp hour battery recommended on this thread but I'm feeling in a generous mood after today's big win (4-0). I've ordered it.... https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i261289211-s401998276.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1&spm=spm%3Da2o4m.order_details.item_title.1 Now my wife just told me that Mitsubishi recommended we replace our Pajero battery as it's now down to 40%...... Do I sense a Pajero battery thread coming on..........................???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
