Dead battery. Ffs

I go pillion

First time in a long time. Fully appreciated the extra effort involved, having done the NC500 with Jess plus gear .

The ninja seems to manage 3 - 4 years per battery. Still, €35, so no real complaints.

(No, i won't buy a more expensive one, because it spends too much time just on charge, rather than being ridden)

Flat batteries are a PITA.
In Dubai one was lucky to get 2 years out of one. (unless it was a Toyota )

Guess I've been lucky , never had to buy a new battery for a bike but mine are usually plugged in to an Optimate when not in use .

Both of mine are on optimates. Not totally foolsafe
