That made me gasp
« on: 15 August 2011, 20:31:03 »
Bump starting the ZX10 after filling it with petrol.  You forget how big, bulky and bloody heavy the ZX10 is ;D

In all my bike gear, it made me perspire a bit ;D

A 'well past its best' battery methinks ::)

Though I need to check the charging voltage before replacing it. But I'll wait til its charge. Boogered if I'm pushing it to start it again ;D

To be hoped it's easier to change than it is on my TDM. I think they designed & built the bike around the bugger.  :-? ;D
