So I am finally in a position to be able to get the bits I need to get my beloved back on the road.
She's been under a cover since AR11 so I'm anticipating the battery will need a charge at the very least. Before I go and spend on the first thing that takes my fancy, thought I'd see if people know of any decent deals and/or anything else to take into consideration. I'm planning on doing a fair amount of miles this year ![]() - Battery Charger. I dont need one of these "battery-on-charge-for-months" optimisers, just something to charge a dead battery up. - Rear Tyre. As I have Avon Storm 2's on the front with a bit left I might as well get another for the rear. Was just going to ebay/google, unless anyone else had any ideas. - C&S set. Got a link for an Ebay set at home, dont think there is anything special I need to consider. Keeping my -1T front on as that is only had couple months use. - Springs. After much deliberation, I'm going to just go for springs first. K-tech linear 0.85's if I remember rightly. It had an oil change after the AR and not rode since, so that'll be fine. I'll check the brakes also as they have been standing for a bit but should be ok. Thanks! H |

I reckon you could chop it in for a half decent pointy, job jobbed.

Want the charger to be cheap then? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-BATTER...-/230628397848
Make sure you buy a fork oil with a cst@40 value of 33-40, whether it's 5wt or 15wt doesn't matter a toss, it's the kinetic viscosity that matters. The viscosity of the Suzuki G10 fork oil is 33. |

Will that type of charger work for charging up flat batteries - I only ask as it is described as a trickle charger? How would I know how long to leave it plugged in for? and thanks Ralph for the cst thing, saved me looking it up ![]() |

Well its not one of them fancy chargers like my Optimate which can revive dead batteries.
But being a trickle charger means you can leave it on without it overcharging

I think I might well need a fancier one. Going to check out Optimate. Was it Oxford that did one was well.

Cheapest price I found for Storm II's waswww.OPONEO.co.uk. Cost £106 delivered for a rear. Delivery does take a week tho', comes all the way from Poland! They were recommende to me by someone on here.
