Thanks guys - optimate not an option as the bike's kept outside & too far from a power point..The usual answer is to give the old girl a good run every 4 days. If I leave it any longer than this the datatool has drained the battery & there ain't enough charge to start her. Trouble at this time of year is finding a suitable 'window' - weatherwise.
I now have a brand new, fully charged battery which is useless to me. Ho Hum.
