Any recommendations for a battery for my 74 R90/6, ideally small enough to fit or remove without having to remove the clamshell filter housing.Ive removed the starter to check, it’s a little hit and miss when pressing the start button , starter can occasionally sound a little lazy , I don’t want to be let down when out on a run so battery is being replaced and depending on starter condition I may put on a new starter.
 
The stock 20 AH Motobatt starts my 900cc R75 fine and is usually a bit cheaper than the BMW specific 51314? which has worked fine on my hi comp 1000 cc G/S for the past eight years.
In Oz they are half the price of other brand name AGMs , if Deka or Oddessy are around the some price as Motobatt they are good too, but not worth paying more for.
Li - --whatever are getting better, but look carefully into the charging requirements as most still need a special and expensive charger to recover them from a deep discharge even if you can top them up with a stock charger.
