Due to work , i havent been out on the bike for a while and went to start it tonight and the battery was flat the bike has been stood for about a week and a bit only thing security wise is an immobiliser which has a very low power drain on the battery , it is the original which is about 3 years old now so would it be on its way out ?

Ive got an optimate, but if i forget to use it the battery is dead in about 5 days, i know the alrms di drain abit , but i tend to think once a battery has been dead a few times then theyve had it.IMO

HOW DARE YOU you dirty rat, My optimate is meant to bring the battery back into a good condition if it is been flat, like yours probably and will tell u if it is pickled, so must norm me thinks.

Dennis you can get a little attachment (oo er) that connects to your battery and then you can run it out the somewhere easily accessable to plug the OPTI in.
If i hadnt of had that my Battery would be well and truly Firked asyou have to take side panels off and unbolt seat to get to it

Just been out on the bike to give it a run as its been sat a while , noticed a squeak from the chain so stopped at my mates house and it was as tight as a mackerells arse :yike: how did that happen ?? should normally have an inch and a half of play in it and did last time i checked but it was solid .so ive slackened it off and just given it a dose of chain lube , just hope a havent damaged anything
