spoke on the phone with nice lady at motobatt bangkok head office she says dealer is a liar and the battery has one year warranty for certain , looks like they will get me to bring it in and check it and probably exchange it next week at head office depot

still being messed around so got hold of an ITALY made UNIBAT ,,for £65 it has silly 5mm connectors but seems OK ,, I was not going to get another motobatt here and ducati dealer wants £120 for a Ducati branded Yuasa and wait 4 weeks for delivery !!!!! WTF dealer here are complete shysters and charlatans
