..has flattened.
Arse.
Spent a wee while yesterday farting around with my Intaride Evo coms jobby, setting up the bluetooth n stuff.
I'ts on the switched ignition feeder thingies so naturally had the power on to run it.
Didn't think to have the bike idling whilst I was doing it though.
Went out this morning to go to work, only to have a chugga, chuuuuuggggga, chuuuuuuug on pushing the start button.
Arse.
Foccin thing is heavy when you're trying to bump her.

Have read that once it's been drained, the battery doesn't last for long after.
How true is this?
Please let it be a misunderstanding on my part...
Train in it is then, just off to chase up Heine Gericke for the charger leads I ordered two weeks ago.
Ain't irony splendid.

ABMel, joe will not trust a battery that has lost more than 20% of its full capacity,

most usually will fritz out even after a successful slow recharge.

seems like they are somewhat shorted after a complete discharge, i keep mine 90%

or more and never go for more than a week without a comprehensive recharge and test.
Thats the really galling thing Joe, I ride the bike everyday, cover at least 25-30 miles a day, unless I've been having an ale at the weekend, then she sits.
She had been resting since thursday as I went out Friday and Saturday, just didn't bloody think.
Argghhhh...
Anyway, meant to say the digital tacho thing flashed up two wee error messages for me to be confuzzled by.

Soft 3.1
Dat 10.1

Anyone any clues as to what they mean?
Hoping it's not "Soft twat 3.1, Dat bike will self destruct in 10.1, 10.0, 9.9..."
