It seems, some say...

that my rides heart has decided to say bye-bye...

If the bike is not ridden for a day or so she sukkels to swing over and start. Donno if she's just being difficult - note I am referring to the gender (*Staffie runs and hides*), or if it's the 'juicebox'?
I have a CTEK on "recond" mode connected now but if that does not solve the temper tantrum; what do I get and where? I have read a few articles and strangely enough, there are conflicting opinions on the "model/range" one should use. Seems that a "YTX14" is the one to go for but before I blow up something with my shocking knowledge of power, currents and sparks in general - some suggestions, please.
And then, where's the best place to buy and what do I look out for? Keep in mind I think I had one size 10 socket once, it has disappeared (seker maar gesien hier kom k@k) as I'm not that great with mechanical, electrical or technical stuff...I know of primum auxilium, lex, if statements, debits and credits and how to spend money I don't have... I'm not a technical/mechanical person and I'm not afraid to say it. That's why I ask for assistance rather than break or blow up something.
Finally - let me take a wild guess... The 'juicebox' - do I need a pilot's license and astrophysics degree to replace it? I know it's hidden somewhere in front under all the plastics...
Looking forward to educated responses.
