ahh bugger. must be the weather.

pushed the GPz out of the garage this morning, then went back through the house locking up, picking up my bag and lid, setting the alarm, locking the front door...then tried to start the bike.

Cranked over for maybe ten seconds without any real enthusiasm, then that was it, it would only click the solenoid. Made a half arsed attempt to bump it up the road, before giving up and deciding to get the ZXR out.

Back through the house, unset the alarm, etc etc. Get the ZXR out of the garage - this time I'm wise to it and fire it up in the garage to check - starts easy so I switch it off again while I put the GPz away and lock everything up again. Back out the front of the house and I'm finally ready to go. Push the starter again....nope. Just cranked over and over...

Left it for a minute then tried again and it fired up. Was starting to worry though!

Must get another set of leads for the optimate so I don't have to fish out the battery on the Gpz to charge it.

Its not part of the MOT check so i dont see why it shouldnt, they might give you an advisory but they cant fail you on it as its not constituting a dangerous riding condition.
