New Battery Time?
Finally I got the front brakes sorted. Now the battery is giving up
 1. Retains charge for weeks (enough to start engine). 2. When electrics left on (without lights) the engine wont turn over after 5-10 mins. 3. Wont start when real cold. Calls for a new battery? |

Battery
Hi,
If your bike was registered in 2000 and you battery is the original then it certainly doesnt owe you anything - best you replace it and save all the wear and tear on the starter motor (which I imaginge is a lot more expensive to replace than than the battery) and the hassle of a bike that wont start !! |

They're about £54 ish quid. Rip off if you ask me - but there ain't any choice!
