  • My bike took ages to start this morning. 2005 varadero 1000. 48k miles on the clock. Yesterday was fine, took it out for a little blast but this morning it took ages to get going, to the point where I thought the battery was going to go, then at the last second it caught and started.
    I turned it off and it started again straight away. Maybe just damp?
    We had some rain last night....

    I've got new plugs and an oil change on the to do list but I'm such a worrier about getting stuck somewhere, if don't have the confidence in the bike I just won't ride it.

  • Check the battery voltage (with a multimeter), both stand alone and when turning over. Also when running.

    Probably worth checking the reg/rec conections.
