You could go for the glory or death approach...

That should do it.

Alternator won't lift flat batteries, but a freshly filled one will reach
full charge nicely on the bikes charging system.

 

I've been riding the GS500 on full throttle everywhere, I jumped in the
Gixxer and realised I can't ride it the same after the front wheel left
the ground.

You give it the soaking time and commissioning charge before you drag
amps out of it with the starter.

Ho yus. But best if you've kickstarted it (should such an option be
available), not the electric foot.

Seriously; that first soak and charge makes a helluva difference to the
longevity of the battery.

Or at least draw them from time to time.

 

Not necessarily. On my GSXR750[1] the alternator wouldn't start
charging the battery until the revs were over 5.5k rpm. It was
perfectly possible to ride around town never going over this and
thence never charging the battery. Especially if you had the lights
on.



[1] I imagine the Thou is pretty similar. Round town I never get out
of 1st gear and above 4k rpm.

 

Enjoy it while you still have the balls to ride it.

You guys should get together and show each other photos.

 

Curtains?

 

Yeah, that's right - pretty much next door to the station, though
there's a women-only gym place in between. I'm just around the corner
- other side of the train station.

big newsgroup, more like.

 

Ben, he rides a Harley - you can only take these things so far, FFS!

 

I've tried it - didn't really like it.

 

Is the big hardware store still there? Gill & Hoxby?
Didn't know about the Gym tho'. Used to be a little garage ther, part of the
one that did the MOT's futher down the road IIRC.

Very true.
