Havent seen your bike feature in a while Mick.....nice bar ends 8)
Well........i cant quite believe it...but i got my bike started today :eek ......i even rode it around the street :eek .........& i started it with an old Yuasa battery thats been in my cupboard for about a year which kinda proves my store your battery inside during the winter theory........anyway i switched it off so i could check the new oil level & then it wouldnt start againĀ :o .......coulda been my old intermittent starting issue......more likely the battery had given up & 1 start was all it was worth.......so i fitted my Mottobat battery thats been stored inside for aboutĀ 7 months & the bike started up again 8) .
Adjusted the idle down a bit & inflated the tyres to spec & did some toodling around the cul de sac to try the brakes & then observed for any leaks etc.
Even my new throttle cable which i fitted didnt ping off....& it felt silky as foc
Im proper chuffed
Im insured from the 18th so ill book it in then for an mot & tyres & in the meantime finish off a couple of small jobs.
