Hi I was wondering is it possible to start a zxr400 using some sort or power supply plugged into the mains so I don't have to keep recharging my battery every day?
Its only for troubleshooting purposes until its up and running properly.

I think your best bet is getting one of those portable chargers for £50 quid.
If you're asking what I think you're asking the answer is no - a mains socket in the UK is rated at 230v/13a on an AC circuit, whereas you are gonna need a 12V DC battery that kicks out 85 amps (that's a total estimate).
In theory something might be possible, but I know its not going to involve a standard 3 pin plug.
