Hi,adie...the reason i changed the battery was that the bike hadnt been used for years before i had it!!.and had been kept behind a sofa in a flat!!....the battery had not been removed either?...when i bought it i put it on a optimate and it seemed to pick it up!! but as soon as winter came it was foooked!....it also was its original battery, this being confirmed by its mileage and the one owner i got it off!!...it had only done 5100miles at that time!....i have checked the voltage @ 5000rpm and ime getting...14.7volts...and when loaded up ime getting 14.2volts..........
