06.30...Got all me kit on, pulled the Custard out of the cave, mount up, hit the starter....chough, chug, chough, cugha chuga...bluuurrrr. Nish. Flattened the batt. Charger out & on, leave for 15 mins. Same thing. Batt was showing 11.6V & going up whilst on charge. Txt work i'm gonna be late... Changed the batt, nicked off Nue Red which was charged up last week & showing 12.8...Still nothing.

Just before 8 phoned work quick explination on the joys of Storm starter motors...

He said don't worry I'll book it as a days leave....Result.

So after a coffee & this sort of thing I'm off to change the starter motor...I just happen to have a spare in the cave... :lol:

I'll have to have a rake to see if I have a spare starter lead as well. In for a penny in for a pound... :lol:

But generaly Grrrr :x I could do with out this sort of thing on a Tuesday morn.

The Storm is a great bike for the money but it does lack some bollox when you get into 4th and into the bigger numbers...Last time I got blitzed by a car was in the mid 90s on my YZF750 and an Audi RS summat did me down the A5D, the YZF was also dyno'd at 107.... :| ...it did use more oil than my LC thou(not joking!) :biggrin
