  1. Good morning,

    I want to get rid of the house brick of a battery fitted to my 996sps 2001. I understand that the original spec was a small gel battery. At some point mine has has the larger battery and holder fitted. I would like to loose the weight but without compromising the performance. I can make up a holder for a smaller unit. I would be greatful for any suggestions. Cheers!
     
  2. Speak to your local dealer as I believe the small battery box modification is still available and is not expensive. Andy

  5. I like that, looks the part!
     
  6. I put a Lithium battery on mine...

    ..it was for a rsv though so isn't the right size and is held in by a bungy strap!

    no doubt a proper 916 one would fit right in with no mods.
