Yes, go for a smart charger, which will hopefully help a dead battery back to a good state.

Doesn't always work if the battery is fubarred

Prefer a DID chain to the other link you posted. Not that there's anything 'wrong' with the other link, it just doesn't seem to tell you what you are getting.

Personally I used DID chains and AFAM sprockets on my SV.

Thanks.

I'm also planning on an Optimate 3...unless you say the 4/4+/6 is much better and worth the extra cost?

Do you have power to where the bike is?

I could run an extension lead out short term, but nothing long term no

Optimates are usually for long term connection.

But they are also good reviving deeply discharged batteries no?

They will do either, can take them 3-4 days to fully revive a knackered battery though (which is different from a healthy battery that is discharged).

Cool

Well I never had a problem with my battery before, but I remember when doing the oil change in Sept it -just- about started after what seemed like an eternity. After standing for 6 months I expect it will be discharged, but hopefully not knackered
