OK guess how many presses of the starter button it took to start Liz's Ducati 749S this evening.
History Bike has been stood in our garage since the AR08 its not been ridden or moved. The battery was removed from it and connected to the optimate and its been charged for a couple of weeks and reached a fully charged state mid week. Battery was put into the bike and then we decided to see if it would start. So how many presses of the starter do you think it took before it fired and ran. No prizes or nothing just a bit of fun.

No priming required, didn't even have the choke/cold start on.

second, they seem to prefer it, after a while sat still. My bikes do anyway!

My mates Ducati blew it's reg/rec today, so with that in mind, I bet it wasn't easy! I guess six presses!
When's the result? Pete

It's a Duke so I bet it didn't start at all. Ever since this 1098 at the Bucket Shop kept stalling out on idle, I have no faith in those damn Italian machines!
