Worty go for the biggest AH 6v batt you can fit in your hole, you don't want 6v 4 AH stuff you want 6v 9 AH maybe 11AH , ps i'm glad it took you 200 + miles i wouldn't even trust mine to do that in one go
I've had the 8ah for a while, but it's still in good shape so thought I'd try it - looks good so far. I'll boost the power bit when this one goes south, just pleased that it may just work (can't believe the old one had any power left in it).
Went down to Stafford to see my brother, going down Ladybower way then cutting across near Monyash. Hit the whopping pothole at the Snake Pass end of Mortimer Road. Stopped at a tractor repair place in Tydesdale (I think). Really nice fella helped but we couldn't shift it at the time. When I came back near Hathersage, there was a nasty accident and the cops had shut the road. Did a U turn and ended up on the Sheffield ring road heading to the M1 junction one down from the Tinsley Viaduct. Just headed home from there.
Bike was excellent throughout, great through the rev range and sounds lovely. Up the motorway was cruising at 65-70 quite happily. Occasionally, I think I can year a sort of 'thump' from the engine (like a heavy sound when light revving waiting at lights, etc), but it's only once or twice and doesn't affect how sweetly it runs. Guess it could easily be something else (I remember losing some padding under the tank and getting horrendous 'booming' noises at certain revs).
I also put some padding on the seat to see if I could get away with 'sore bum syndrom' and it seems to have worked. Need to check out GB's youtube post again.
So, I've sorted the fuel tap leak, hopefully the electrics, and the wet sumping. I've also noticed that I don't get as much oil leak when I turn the oil off, as the crankcases are trying to hold on to less oil.
