Got a brand new motobatt here for my nc700x, take it if you need it, but no idea how we can get it to you in time?

Ta for the offer, will that fit the Duke battery box? Let me see how I get on with battery/jump pack this morning and then I'll suss out where to source a battery from.

Pissed off with this battery only new last year and spent winter in the house.

FFS forgot how big the jump pack clippers are. Can only get them on in a position where the cables will be in the way. Bollocks

That's exactly why i have small ones. (There's a joke there somewhere i bet).

But both my jump pack (lithium type) and my charger have small connectors. Even then, on some bikes it can be tricky.

Can you clip onto the screws rather than the terminals?

Of course. The screws are metal and transfer electrickery

Gonna walk the kids to school and then set to.

Might be the right one for it? I took a picture but didn’t think to measure it ! Maybe dimensions are online?

Ta I'll take a look.

Got various options at the moment from buying one local if I can, nicking my mates one from his 690 enduro and buying him a replacement or will try and get over to you. I'll let you know and cheers mate

With the battery pack it's spinning nicely but still no firing yet. Gave it 4 goes of about 30 secs or so and stopped for now as can smell a fair bit of petrol and don't want to flood it. Battery pack back on charge and will leave it an hour and try again.

I filled with Esso super last time out so it would have no ethanol and petrol level is low which is usually as I leave it. Next step is to go get some fresh super and see if that helps.

Kill switch

LOL. After having my CX500 parked up for a while I spent 3 days trying to get it going. An electrician neighbour pored over the wiring diagram and asked 'what does that switch do?'

(From memory I think it was actually in the correct position but the contacts were cruddy. Click, click, click....brummmm. Hey ho, it's something you only forget to try once ).

Cost of Super Unleaded this morning?

£1.69!!!!

So just chucked in 2.5 litres of fresh super and given it a shake. Round 2 starts after I've had a cup of tea.

Please bastard start.

It lives!!!!!

Thank fook for that. Fresh petrol and a slight bit of throttle and she caught. Ran it up for 10 mins or so and hopefully that'll be that. Battery back on charge and jump pack back on charge in case.

And she's gone

Started instantly this morning which was nice. Gonna miss that bike, she was a cracker.
