Nice. Did you do a little wee?
Yea shame Motobatt was out of stock at the company, or I’d have considered it. However the guy said - and I was happy to trust an ex-racer - stick to the original spec in a Japanese motorbike.
Considering the hard life this bike must have had, I wouldn’t want to surge any of the old circuitry. Maybe it’s worth considering on newer spec stuff.
20yo kiddo riding a Keeway cruiser, he was also waiting to chat to the instructor yesterday. Told me he had crashed it three times and been stolen once since April, and complained the alarm system professionally fitted was blowing fuses. One of the spills was filtering and a car not moving to let him back in, so he hit a traffic island. He was also blaming his tyres, wanting new ones. He also pays over £70 a month (for a £2k 125) insurance - down from £100 that bikesure wanted before cancelling his policy. He’s also waiting to hear back about joining the army reg’s.
He called my bike a lawnmower.

Motobatts do seem to live up to the marketing when it comes to chucking out a tonne of power, I've used them more or less whenever I've had to replace. Bike before current one had some starting issues after I'd fitted the motobatt, and doing the solenoid test with a screwdriver blew the screwdriver out of my hand and across the car park
