Bike won't start - my electrics have left me

[GILBERT]

Bought a new battery today, filled it then let it stand for hour, put on optimate for 5 hours until little green light came on, installed on the bike &


IT FIRED UP.


Lovely feeling when something works isn't it


Thanks all for your advice everyone.


Will let you know if it doesn't start tomorrow.


p.s. checked the figure across the terminal of the old battery & the new battery before starting & they both read the same fiqure - 12.68v
