Fancied a ride out today. After 6 weeks standing in an integral garage my 3 year old XJR1300 was having none of it. My 15 year old Fazer, still on original battery, started first touch of the button having stood for the same time. Neither bike has had a charger attached during standing. Spent 3 hours riding the Fazer whilst the pampered modern beast was treated to 3 hours charging just to get it going. Is modern stuff better? Classic Motorcycle Mechanics anyone?
