Hi guys,
Took my bike to the shop to get it MOTed the other day, everything seemed to be fine. He was busy so gave him the keys and popped round the corner to get a coffee. When I came back, he said it wouldn't start.
On investigation, the battery was totally flat. Now this battery is less than a year old and the bike was starting perfectly every time. He said it even started fine when he fired her up outside the shop, but took her inside and wouldn't start.
Seems very strange that the battery could die so quickly. In general the bike seemed to be running fine. The only funny thing I can think of is that it seems to have a bit of a hiccup around 3000rpm when accelerating.
Best, Taman
