[Ducati] 900ss battery

[Antonio Nolasco]

My experience with YTZ7S batteries id good. I use the bike also for 
commuting and she sleep usally in a garage, so she is never really cold. 
Anyway In very cold weather and/or when sitting overnigth I engage first 
gear and push a litle to locate the engine in rigth point, then neutral 
again, before cranking.
Best Regards/ Antonio
95' 900SS
PS. On Keihins I increased idle jet size to 70 to improve cold starting. 
Otherwise I was unable to start on first try.
