I bought a Hi Q YTX20L-BS, 12VOLT, 18AH, Sealed batterie for another bike of mine and tried it in the batterie seat of the Norton. Time being I had a now defunkt batterie half the size in there.
Does it make sense fitting an 18AH batterie to the standard charging system.
 
Possibly, you will to check that the charging system feeds the battery adequately, a charging system that cannot charge a battery correctly makes having the larger battery pointless.

The size of the battery won't affect the charging system. It's merely a STORAGE battery.(unless you put it in DISCHARGED & expect the bike to top it up)
It WIILL, however give you more reserve capacity, like when driving at low speed in the city.
Or, on an e-start bike, well, more is better of course.
