Voltage and physical size is the most important. Cos if it's the wrong size it won't fit on the bike and if it's the wrong voltage , nothing will work. The ampage is the total output available from the battery. Each component only draws what it needs. The battery can't force more than is needed into the component. The amp /hour value is how long the battery will last under a constant load. 4 amps for an hour, 1 amp for 4 hours, 8 amps for 1/2 an hour. This is under test conditions. In the real world it's only a guide, because temperature, electrolite level and strength vary with age and weather conditions.

So just brakes , steering , transmission and lights then

Breath in through your nose and out through your ears. Simples

Had lots of good bargains from J&S. Sales at their stores, bargain rails and bins, show stands. Top shop

Bought a new dog to guard the house but he's useless. He lets anyone in. Turns out he's a pedigree Collie, a Border Collie, a UK Border force Collie

Put some windowlene in the oil to clean the glass Noo! don't , just kidding

A duff battery can give you ignition problems. Get it checked and replace if necessary

Lube the cable and all moving parts, including the twist grip itself. Check for obstructions and/or fouling, including any damage to the cable outer. Make sure relevant springs are attached and in good condition.

Chocks away

You're going to fast. Now you know why you're restricted. Keep an eye on the speedo till you get used to the increase in performance. Your senses are tunes to the 125. My first ride on the old Z1000 was a step up from the 400 I'd been riding. Set off just the same...snicked up the box to where the 400 would be doing 35/40ish, looked down doing 90 Your new machine is more capable, so ease off and be a little more laid back with the throttle. You'll soon adapt

Something about typhoo tea and Scunthorpe

4 years ain't bad for a battery of any sort. Glad it's sorted

How you gunna fix it if you don't even have a spark plug spanner. Buy tools or ring the mechanic. Yes and check the kill switch if it's a honda.

Had lots, none at the mo. Getting better at not getting caught, I ain't slowed down. Must admit I tend to adhere to 30 in built up areas. 60 in a 30 is very silly. You're risking having a death on your conscience. Go to Gaol, Go directly to Gaol, do not pass Go, do not collect £200. And send some flowers

Wind protection is all that can be relied on. All trousers leak eventually and crash protection is theoretical.

Argh! The helmet is a piece of protective safety equipment. More distractions are not needed. The flexibility of the neck should not be underestimated. Lifesavers not gadgets are the answer to the un asked question

In brief........lots

Excellent I bought one of them George Formby Grills. Burgers have "Tuned out nice again"

Why would they start justifying prices They always have two options though, take it or leave it

Had a Lambretta back in the day. Had me own Parka, Northern soul records and everything. Got fed up of being blown off at the lights. Moved to bikes. Great...Discovered leather........bought some Def Leppard , AC.DC........ grew me hair.............got to stop washing and everything.

Just scared myself, who ever said "quiet as a mouse".......never trod on one

I've been trying to book tickets for an Elvis tribute act. Nobody is picking up at the box office. I keep getting the answer machine, press 1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to get ready............. Uh huh!
