Yikes. Well, another experience to look forward to. If anything with this GN125, likely happening next week.
Had some issues with the battery, so the guy at the battery shop is filling and charging me a new one.
Although it does start eventually, it isn’t consistent and the multimeter reads barely 12.04V when fully charged off the mains. If it’s throwing a wobbly it reads barely 11.5V and starter button drops it through the floor. Wednesday it refused, so I took the bmx instead. Yesterday I had to charge it, warm up the shed with a radiator and turn on the dehumidifier for nearly an hour before it would think about starting.
Battery would be fine over summer months but definitely too old for winter riding. My replacement (picking up today) is a YB7-A wet, exactly the same as the original.
Out of stock, but the guy also had recommended a Motobatt sealed job, apparently better for cold starts?

Usually you learn all this clutchless shifting the first time you break a clutch cable :)
It's tougher in C. London because you need to be able to shift in and out of neutral with great timing. I've heard from friends who've ridden back from Spain without a clutch cable, probably easier than making it across London at rush hour without one.
