Hi from Bangor, N.Ireland

Thought I'd say a quick hello.
Recently bought a yellow '98 Firestorm. A real cracker with Microns, polished rims and loads more extras.
Fantastic bike - absolutely love it. Although sitting in the garage for the past 3 weeks because of the weather have resulted in a flat battery :-( Is this normal and should I have been starting it up once a week?

Cheers

Walt

Welcome aboard mate.

i'd have thought the battery wouldn't have gone flat myself.
mine goes flat in a week if not on the optimate because i have an alarm fitted.

Bought it in Belfast about 3 months back. It's had a few owners - all in N. Ireland. Apparently one of them had it hidden in a barn so his wife didn't know he had it! :lol: I'll post some pics soon.

Welcome. Re your battery, if you have an alarm then 2 weeks without starting could drin the battery. My Meta used to (till it went kaput and I stripped it out)
