2002 faired, 15000 miles.
Yet again this morning the bike wouldn't start.


I put a new battery in 6 weeks ago after a wiring fault then a week ago when it got cold it wouldn't start in the morning, so I charged it then it worked for a day or so then wouldn't start. I've now found out it wasn't the right battery (not strong enough, was 8A should've been 10A).


So I bought a far better motobat battery upgraded from the standard with 190 CCA rather than the standard 160CCA. It worked for a couple of days and this morning won't start. The bike is kept in my large shed on a carpeted floor and covered with 5 blankets. Its cold but it should still be fine. I've also got a ZX6r kept in the same shed. I hadn't ridden that for 5 days but that started fine.


Do you think there's a fault somewhere in the bike like the starter motor as this shouldn't be happening? I know there's issues with these bikes like crap regulators as I've already replaced it earlier this year, but I'm so ****ed off with this now, I'm close to binning the bike. Any advice appreciated.
