I just pulled the bike out...Jump started it and rode it for 10 minutes thru the neighborhood...

Battery was dead once I turned it off...I gotta get a tender.

But it felt nice to be back on it even if it was dark and cold.

If you go for a nice 20 mile ride that battery should be good to go!

:lol: My bike has only been out to make sure the replacement header doesn't leak. I was lucky to get it far enough out of the garage to run it. Still two feet of snow on the ground around here.

I've never had a problem with the battery either... Original battery still in it, and it's never seen a charger. Still starts first try after sitting for months.

It's getting warmer there and still cold/rainy here! :p

Last night I woke up shivering, pulled an extra comforter out of the closet, to have TWO comforters to keep me warm. :tremble:

The buell didnt want to turn over right away, was like that when I took it to get inspected too. But on saturdays ride and my commute yesterday it was all good.

You mean the famous pause when you hit the starter? Or it just wouldn't turn over?

I had to push start my buddy's zx-6r the other day. We went to jump it and his ancient battery charger caught on fire, so the battery was still dead. So we just got it in the street, got it to putter on the first push, and fired right up on the second push. :rockout:

The CBR has been sitting since december but it started up no problem.
Since its supposed to rain this weekend maybe I start the ZX-11 up and maybe start getting her ready for sale.

Yup, we were in 2nd. He just couldn't pull up the revs quick enough on the first push, so it puttered and died. But the second push it fired right up.
