Hi all
My 19814/4 was equipped with a big battery, oversized and cantilevered dangerously behind seats. So l bought a varta B34 , 45Ah, 330A and installed it yesterday, with proper support. When tested, after full load and with avg temp about 10C, starter was very slow, slower than the previous big battery which was supposed to be dead... Even after a ride and a short stop, engine hot starting was very slow and l was not sure of the success.

l cleaned the positive connection on the starter without improvement.
Any idea? How is done the negative connection of the starter, where can l check the contacts down to the neg pole of battery?
Any other idea?
Any advice for fault finding?
