Another day another disappointment!  :sad:

Tried to start it and nothing but alittle click from the started motor. So got a charger on the battery for a while.



Still the same problem took the battery to get checked out and it still had no charge. So now the battery is on charge for the night. Back again tomorrow, lets hope that is the problem.



 :sad: :cry:

Yeah I checked them over and tightened a few up but it still made no difference. Got the battery checked in the local carparts shop and it wasnt giving off a charge so hopefully after a night of charging it will be all good it was brand new just before I took it off the road.  It hasnt been used for a year so should have charged it but didnt think about it.

Some batteries are completely dead if they lose all their charge :undecided:

Gutted, I hope the battery recovers... I'm usually very good with mine when it's been left standing but this has now prompted me to give mine a boost as it's been I while since I last started it!  :embarassed:
