The battery in my bike has goosed itself in a couple of years (Caponord 1200). I've never liked the way the battery sits almost flat and wonder if a GEL battery may be a better option.

Any thoughts?

Lithium.

Providing you're not running too many power-hungry devices and particularly because the Rotax twin likes a strong cranking battery, just chuck one in and forget about it.

I had one in my RSV and have put one in every bike since and they've always been spot-on and never ever needed a charge, even after sitting all winter.
