Well mini ... we all know what happens after hibernation .. you get to gorge yourself                                                                                                                                                                              

Goodness me shell!!! you hussy lol                                                                                                                                                                              

lol .. I never hibernated 

And where might I ask was your mind darling ... I meant on rides out etc etc                                                                                                                                                                              

The big problem I had when I moved from contact breakers (remember them?) onto an electronic ignition is that the electronic ignition will not trigger a spark if the battery voltage falls below a certain level. This level is easily reached when you use the starter motor with a battery which is not fully charged.

Some days I have to use the kick-starter (remember them ?)So the advice is always make sure your battery is in tip top condition. If you lay the machine up for any length of time remove the battery and store it on a conditioning charge device. Then you can guarantee perfect performance.

Cheers

Thanks Flettie...that's what's happening at the moment. My bike is stored in a garage without power & the battery in another with electric & left on an optimate charger, so fingers crossed for when it's time to come out of hibernation   When it wouldn't start we looked for a kick start...and established it doesn't have one lol                                                                                                                                                                             

Minnie if you dont have power in your garage just take the battery off over the  winter and keep in the house and charge a couple of times a month                                                                                                                                                                              

trade it in for a honda
