isn't that a steep hill?

[Crasherfromwayback]

isn't that a steep hill?

Hehehe...Upper Tory St is fucking quite steep. Where Dave's GSXR is was flat. However...the hill we just pushed it up to put it away safely was fucking steep...but luckily...short.

It's as dead as a dodo. Battery charge required.

Wonder why? Light on? If not, the thing could be stuffed. How old is said battery?

It gives me a chance to demonstrate my people skills, and my public relations methods! :D

The heated grips are wired straight to the battery...may've been left on...may not've. Either way...poor Dave's left with a dead GSXR.

Overnighting in the shed is he? Bugger, done that before. However the school of hard knocks (or flat batteries) will learn him.

Heated hand grips.......snigger......

Thanks for coming pete. After you left I decided to give her a crack down the ramp she kicked into life but the speedo started going crazy... I thought it might have just needed alitle run to get some juice into her but after a km I decided to stop and now I have someone coming from paremata with a ute to pick me up. I realy hope crash starting it didnt fry anythng! So im writing this from my phone on the side of the road, when I get ho me il leave her on charge overnight and hopefuly that fixes it.

Nah you wont've done it any harm mate...but a full battery charge is what's needed. That...and get those grips wired up seperately from the batt feed.

All good mate.

Just wire em up with a relay to only turn on when the lights on

[dave_a]

to be honest I never use them anyway, so easier just to take off and sell em

You won't regret it in the winter. My missus has some and they sure do make a difference. I sometimes pinch her bike to commute on frosty mornings. Also, I found them to be more effective with lighter gloves, the heat can't through my heavy winter gloves as easily.

Hey StoneY, with the hassle you have had with the ST day's after picking her up, I would think it would be good PR on their part to throw on a set of grips for you as compen for the hassle.
They were selling them as a special not long ago for around $79 and they only take minutes to fit.
