Thanks guys, for the good advise and insight. Removing the battery is out as it is factory mounted under the seat, which requires removing the seat to access, and removing the seat requires removing the the interior panels ( what that about German engineering? ).
My basic problem is the the battery is a small Lawn mower size battery needed to fit in the hole for the battery, while the starter is a Dynastart which means no gear reduction between the started motor and engine, so it take a big draw to get it to turn the engine. if the battery is fully charged no problem, but if it is down just a bit you get one shot at starting then just solenoid clicks. This is compounded by the fact that after starting the starter motor switch to being a generator alas a poor one at maybe 10 amps. So the solar charger-maintainer looks to be my only practical option.
Again that’s for the insights and advise.
