Just spent the night sorting out my zed as it's been sitting dormant and SORN'd since the end of September. I'm re-taxing it for March, I just wanted to make sure I didn't ride it over winter as that's when I lobbed it last year leading to an expensive rebuild, also I think it being a kawasaki and all, would probably just disintegrate as soon as it saw road salt. Anyway, having done all the little jobs I thought might as well see if he fires up....
Put the battery on (which my optimate keeps telling me is knackered), ignition on....blimey the clocks & fuel injection work....ok here goes.....press starter...fires right up no messing!
I know it seems trivial but I think for a motor that's been sitting in a cold damp garage not run for 5 months to just fire with no faffing about on an almost-discharged battery is feckin excellent. I ran it up to temp for a while then killed it. It was soooo good to hear the engine running again! Now I just wanna get out and ride....
