9.92 volts is no good. You could try leaving it on the minder/optimser for 24hrs first, but even if you recover the battery, the chances are that it won't last long especially going into Winter. My hunch is that this should sort it ...

Bang a big screwdriver through the oil filter and wind it off? I've only had one fall apart with this method but it was easy enough to pick it out of the threads once it was shredded. I honestly thought that was how everyone did it without a wrench. If you are a bit posh you might want to wear some marigolds!

Update on getting my scrambler back on the road....
Even with a tool I couldn't get the oil filter off! Going to have to get some proper grips and maybe drill it. Fuck the idiot who did it up so tight last time!
Bike wouldn't start:
Stupidly I didn't leave the battery on the minder all day in the office like I meant to... Or take a multi meter with me. So I can't really diagnose whether the battery was the issue.
A multi meter reading this morning was just under 10. Internet says the EFI needs a fair bit of power to start and the OG battery is not great anyway.
Forum thoughts?
Going to do some reading of my Haynes at lunchtime.
