Starting issue

[risticuss]

I was thinking that it was the battery more and more last night.


I'm off to pick one up today so that I can try it out.


I'm not sure of the voltage when the starter button was press as I just whipped the battery off to get the relay out as I thought I'd broken something.


I also had a rather impatient wife who wanted me to look after our 7 month old daughter, which wasn't really conducive to working on the bike.  :'(


I always thought it wasn't a good idea to jump-start off a car lest it blow something else up?
