Would anyone recommend a new battery for my nexus. I think has been the culprit of my 'BROKEN NEXUS'.

Could do with one for the weekend so would need to order today.

Many thanks guys

you need a YB14L-A2 or CB14L-A2 battery

Halfords do the Bosch M4 F34 AGM (YB14L-A2) Motorcycle Battery at £44.99 good price and in stock Rotherham store order on line to pick up and pay in store.
its a Dry pre-charged, you add electrolyte, leave to stand for a 3 hrs, then charge it for 4 hours, fit and get started then give it a week and i put mine on charge, again for a top up

I have bought the battery, filled it with acid, just leaving it till bed time before I put on charge. My charger is only a 0.6amp charger so will 24 hours to charge. Then a good ride out monday or tuesday.

spot on for sorting out, best to be methodical, the belt will be good for a while, but will need a new one as soon as though, then keep it as a spare..all the best mate..
