I've just ordered an alternative as the inevitable has happened:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006 ... 00_s00_i00
New Hitachi unit & Varta battery last year, took the battery off over winter, charged it fully and stored it in the house.
Charged it over night using my spare charger and saw a green light but didnt bother checking the voltage, stuck battery on, really struggled to turn engine over.
Only showing 10.5V and relay started sticking before packing up completely - I forgot how easily it is a screw up a relay with a poor battery!
Oddly, I charged battery with a clever charger and it was showing 12.7V and holding - fired across relay terminals with a big screwdriver and bike started up first time
Took the soddin relay to bits and there was only minor tracing on the copper plates, can't believe it was enough to stop starting.
So above relay order - hopefully, a good 150A alternative.
So Amadeus has to wait a little longer:
