Chch Weds Maintenance Evenings 2010

[willytheekid]

Well...did the battery hunt.
Rang EVERY! battery retail shop and bike shop & repco and even supercheap auto (yup, they do bike batteries)
costs were pritty much the same everywhere $310-$340.
BUT, when I called Emoto and spoke to peter the owner, and advised him of the quotes given, he reply'd...and I quote:
"Well..can't have that, I like selling stuff...I can beat those prices!...hows $270 sound"
....SOLD!
So there we go, need a battery, call peter at Emoto
Tues...day off in the shed fitting the carbs and new batteries, tune her & if all goes well (eg: petrol doesn't piss everywhere & she actually starts lol)...I'll be along on wen's night (I'll be the one smiling alot!...cos I got me bike back!..no more "car" usage 4 me)

ps: maxf, cheers for the tech advice ...always good to cover the basic's first

I would have replaced the old battery's with a MotoBatt battery they are that good you can replace the two battery's with just one of these and it will turn over better than two normal ones, fit and forget

IT LIVES!!!!!!!

.....just don't mention batteries around me! ......ordered in the TOTALLY wrong type (nearly $300 worth...bloody online guzzi site!.....god I felt like a tool)
so stuck with 2 batteries and broke as hell
But eventually found the right type and got the carbys all fitted (final tune tomorrow)
needs some fetling but should be able to "finally" pop along and met everyone

........do I need to bring cup cakes or something?

PS: got some cheap batteries for-sale lol

wanted to pop in tonight but gerbil-power wouldn't start! only the second fail since I bought it, and my restricted test is tomorrow. great timing! so it's now stuck on the charger (voltage was low and struggling to turn over the engine). i hope it's okay after a charge and not a busted 'rectifier' thingy
