Tippie said:Put in a new battery. Had been playing with the Clover electronic reg after it stopped working from getting water in it on my hills trip, cleaned with some magic spray and brushed Deoxit D5 all over it and it was back on board. Lots of starts with amp and volt gauges connected. Next day - total dead battery. 12.7v until ignition turned on then .02v. Gel battery prob four years old. First time ever a battery just "died" on me, always before just replaced because they got weaker. Glad it didn't happen in the middle of Hardangervidda.

Took him for a short ride, that became a long ride and it?s one of the strongest, most stable bikes I?ve ever ridden, I love it.
Here?s the odd bit-I bought said bike in 1991 when I was 22 and it has been pushed from one house to another, under a cover and coated in WD40/ oil /dust for 29 years. I had never ridden it before.
I oiled the bores originally thinking it may stand for a while till I get round to sorting it out, didn?t imagine I?d be 52 , glad I did though.
Paul Marx said:750 will run with a dead battery. No electric start of course and it'll die at low revs, but as long as the dynamo gives, it'll run.
Unless you're using electronic ignition I suppose.

Legs said:Did you hear the story of the lady who found a huntsman missing six of it's eight legs? She nursed it back to health until it regrew the missing legs then released it back into the wild. She was awarded an humanitarian gong.
The other huntsmen referred to are those that are unmentionable in pursuit of the uneatable.
