Lovely day for a ride at long last... and then the bike wouldn't start
I think the battery is knackered, ended up taking the car over to where my 600 is stored and robbing the battery off of that. After 4 months sat outside, it still had a full charge so was happy with that result. Are the 600 and 1000 battery's any different in reality?
Finally managed to set off about an hour later than I had intended and found some nice twisty roads across the bridge in to Wales before heading back home.
