Well I dont know about the rest of you at the mo , but my bikes being a right pig to start . Even with the fast idle lever at full , it still refuses . Of course when I got it I thought it was a choke lever , should have known better as my 12 has the same setup. I fairness the bike is outside .

New battery bought not long after buying so turn over fine but bikes not catching . Will have to find a new way to start her.

seriously though, might be worth putting it in the house. my 748 looks awesome in the dining lounge.....

Get a 14 battery (standard is 12), uprated starter solenoid (150 instead of the crappy 50!) and a battery conditioner. I have mine outside too and feed the Optimate lead through the letterbox of the front door! :thumbup
