can anyone please advise what battery turns this over strongly? It's hard to start, and if I'm going to replace the battery, I want to put in one that works well. Are lithium batteries good in these bikes?
Thanks

I'd love to buy it from you, but I'm in Australia.

Re: recommendations for battery for 900S2?
well, i fitted the biggest Motobatt battery. it's had a new sprag clutch. Still won't start. Turns over maybe half a turn, and stops. I don't want to keep trying: last time the sprag got #$%^ed.
Any suggestions?

Sounds more like a starter circuit /equipment issue than battery if battery is new.
Starter motor??

well, that's what I'm thinking too. But I'm having trouble locating a new starter for a 900S2.
Has anyone got one?
thanks

it's ducati p/n 0799.50.800
but if you google that, virtually nothing comes up. I'm hoping that something else will. I guess I could take this one out and try to get it overhauled.

I had similar problems with my Darmah and resolved it when I found mis-alinment in the motor bearing bushes causing a serious drag on the starter motor shaft, did some bodging with the cover bushing and its all good now.
