Sorry if this is duplicating something already covered but I couldn't see it anywhere.
Anticipating my 56 Fazer might not want to start after sitting in the alley for a few weeks during this inclement weather I decided to try to start her before I got kitted up so I could see if I needed to charge the battery. To my surprise & delight she came out screaming 1st time. Went off had a shower, did some bits & bobs then got kitted up & rolled her out. Must have been idling for at least half an hour by that time then foc me, I stalled it. Not a big problem, into neutral & start her up again. She lets's out a little cough & my display fades. A couple more tries & all I'm left with is the clicking sound. 20 minutes later I try again & she's back to life, went about 5 miles, stopped for fuel after which she started no problem.
Now my first thought is the battery but surely she wouldn't have started at all & the time left idling would have allowed it to charge itself up a little. Also the battery's little more than a year old so shouldn't be in too bad nick anyway. I'll stick the optimiser on at the weekend just to check but can anyone tell me if the symptoms sound familiar & offer a cheap solution?
