Its been a while !

Its been a few years since i last rode my bike, probably longer than that since i was on here!


Went through a divorce and as the shit hit the fan, i hid my bike at my brothers and transfered it into his name so that i didnt loose it, but finally got my divorce through, so the bike can come out again and i can get on with some riding


Its been stored for a while now, i am going to weld up the collector box as it has small rust holes in it again (this is a yearly thing, welding the collector box!)


The battery is reading 0.8 volt, so that is completely knackered, both tyres are low on tread and i need to drain and refill the petrol, then run it up to temperature, then do an oil and filter change, then its time for its MOT, and i'll be back on the road 


So, first things first, Does anyone have any part worn tyres they want to sell on to me ?, i've bought them from members on here in the past and find it a good way of keeping my bike running on a budget.


And as for batteries, its an 03 Fazer FZS600, and it currently has a (dead) Yuasa YT12B-BS battery fitted, is there anywhere that anyone would recommend for a new battery ?, i run heated grips and have a cig lighter socket to charge my phone/run sat nav, so a decent battery is needed really, I've been doing some research and the best ones to fit are motobatt apparently ?, they are about £40 for the YT12 type, so has anyone found them cheaper anywhere ?, or can recommend a better one ?


Cheers

Glad things are sorted and you can get back to riding. I have had a couple of Numax batteries and they have been pretty good. Last one was bought on Ebay, was the best deal I could find at the time. Motobatt seem good but may cost more. Regardless of brand, I would only consider the maintenance free/gel type batteries.
