OK new battery fitted and she fires up first press of the starter; let her warm up.
Switched off and put old battery on charge.
Filled tank to brim with fresh Shell V-Power E5 and wheeled out the shop.
Helmet on. Fired up again first press and nice idle. Took her for a couple of runs around the block, and all seems good.
She runs beautifully with smooth slick gear changes thanks to Cognito - Moto rear sets; well worth the money.
Also the Cognito rear hub with 33T sprocket is a revelation, compared to the 40T old wheelie wanger I had before.
Mind games make me think there is a charging problem; so stopped at a mates car garage workshop.
He had a little device to plug on the battery contacts; shows new battery has low power and system not charging.
Back to the shop and start investigating what the charging issue is.
Apart from that I'm really pleased as she runs & rides so much better than before.
