Speaking of batteries... Does anyone know the best version of the Moto Batt gel battery for a C5? I would like to get one to avoid the dreaded acid leak of the stock battery... in the event of unforeseen circumstances such as have happened to some on this forum.
I will be doing the cable conversion recommended by Scotty as well, so having the battery with the best terminals and size for a C5 will also be a consideration.
By the way, I just found that Royal Enfield of Seattle (aka Scoot About) put an NGK BP8ES in my bike during the 300 mile service. Interesting that they would automatically do that at the first opportunity.
Not knowing that it had been changed, I just purchased an NGK BPR6ES as I have seen recommend by many on this forum. When I pulled out the BP8ES it was black with sooty carbon. I had previously been running the PC-V with stock air filter (I now have the K&N), and I suspect that made for a rich mixture, which may have contributed to the plug condition. I think the BPR6ES will be hotter, and burn cleaner, hopefully just right.
What is the difference of the BPR6EIX?
