How much is a new battery
 

Hi Guys just feelin the water the now.. how much will it cost fur a new Bat fur ma 660R.. an has anyone any good links to [places..... wemotop wants 57 quid..is this high or about right.........cant afford 57 quid

The problem with sourcing batteries off the web is

a) the weight for postage
b) the H&S rules for sending acid through the post.

Gell batteries are different (insofar as posting goes) but they are a little more expensive - so they get you either way.

First of all I'd be trying the local dealers, Hein Gerricke or even Halfords - it's one of them occasions where you can get a better deal locally.

There are some great deals on ebay from time to time for the exact original MF one. But if you go to a dealer you'll get ripped off, you are better off getting off ebay cause a Yamaha dealer will want around �67 plus vat

or even cheaper

I think I paid �40 for one from an independant bike shop, so it seems the links that Capt gave are the best bet, wont find one cheaper I reckon!

Or if you want a gel one
gel

Seems a snip at �25 plus �7 for postage
