Did a bit of research after reading another post regarding 1190 hard start , starter motor upgrades . One of the members posted that it could be possible that when the time comes to replace the battery the wrong battery is fitted thus causing the problem when starting the bike .
I have this problem , especially cold starts .
In my research I found that the bike takes a YTZ 14 BS BATTERY .But like all things most of the replacement batteries in the 14 ah range only has a CCA reading of 160 a , and this is where the problem lies , the original battery is specced to be a 230 cca battery , but these come at a cost , Got a quote for one @ R1550.00 . Eina ! but better that the 3500 for a used starter and way better that 6500 for a new starter .
I am going to change my battery next week for one of these high CCA batteries and hope that the cold hard start lip bite thing will be resolved .
