'nk you,my friend.

[Kristian K]

I'm curious,how many Mulhacen owner's are here.

[Kristian K]

I'm the only one?

[Kristian K]

Yesterday i find out my baterry is dead(3,58 V).
What baterry do you recomend me?

[Ricardo J]

Cristian, can you get the Yuasa battery? They have excellent quality control. Type YT9B-BS is listed for your 659 Mulhacen.

I hope you can get rollin' again soon!

I have a 3&1/2 months new Exide baterry!I make measurements and there is no static electric consumption,but the baterry run down to 3,58 V in 3 weeks.
Weird,what could it be?

And another question,where i can find a brake front disc for replacement,just in case?
The only one i found is the original,but is 338 euros...

I bought today a new battery from Volton,YT9B-4,type AGM VRLA,12v 8Ah(10 h) 115 A for start.
It can be mounted in any position!But,at Mulhacen you have to rotate at 90 degrees,this is the factory position.It is a building compromise!



I discover that the old battery(Exide)can be mounted medium rotated,not rotated in any position.So i suspect this could be why this battery is loosing voltage after 4 months of usage(or almost 5.000 km done).
Exide battery was 40 euros in august this year.
Volton battery i bought today was 37 euros.
It's from the link bellow(you can see down the page the Yuasa equivalent and is 95 euros):

I really like this bike a lot. I've been working my brain over time for years trying to figure out how to get one "legally" into the States. I personally find the Mulhacen Cafe 659 Angel Nieto model most appealing. Derbi showed this bike in 2006. They beat everybody to the Scrambler revival by nearly a decade.

[Kristian K]

There is absolutely no Derbi dealer in USA?You can try to a Piaggio dealer.

I like the scrambler better than cafe racer.Scrambler have 18'' spoked wheels,the cafe racer have 17'' alloy wheel that Aprilia Pegaso Strada have,only black.
Anyway,the beauty is in the eye of a beholder.

I find a photo with a Mulhacen 659 Flat Tracker Kerozin project:

@ToraTora,my initial question was:There is absolutely no Derbi dealer in USA?

[ToraTora]

There use to be a bunch of them, but Piaggio pulled them all in 2005. The closest thing we have now are Aprilia dealerships, but they can't even get the "cool" bikes. Well okay the RSV4 is cool, but that's about it. We don't get these:

Too bad,sorry.

What are the cost of importing a second hand Mulhacen in States?
