    cheers guys
    I contacted the guy I bought the bike off and he said that the bike stood for 3 years.
    so the battery could be stuffed.but before that he no problems with it.

    ive had a look around and for the price im willing to give a new motobatt a try.

    once again
    thanks

    Motobatt all the way! They are the best value for money on the market.

    Wait that makes motobat easier. That was just connect terminals, slot it in connect it go for a ride.


    Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.
    My last Yuasa took over 6 years of abuse before it turned into a deceptive black hole of voltage. It would hold enough charge to start completely normal in driveway then randomly run as a total loss system up the road...
    Anyway bought a new one and no acid already to go charged and all. Sparky said just put it in and ride. I still gave it a charge though.

    Motobatt in my Hornet for almost 5 years. The factory Yusa died smack after the Honda 2 year warranty ran out.

    The original Yuasa in mine lasted 6 years. Replacement Yuasa still going strong after 2.5 years.

    My first battery lasted 7 years before I replaced it before it died, now running a motoblat, time will tell.

    All my vehicles have a small 30a anderson power pole plug fitted so I can quicly plug in a charger.

    The new bike goes flat after 3 weeks and the car after 4. All the electrics that is running in the background is the problem these days.
    Just another leather clad Tinkerbell.
    The Wanker on the Fucking Harley is going for a ride!
