New Battery and it goes again.

Today i stuck some aluminium foil tape to the inside of the belly pan fairings to hopefully, at least partially protect the fairings from the heat off the exhausts.

I also fitted a new battery: A YuasaYTX4L-BS at NZ$ 70.00 including GST from Bayride Yamaha.

After adding the acid to the battery I put it in the bike and tried kick starting it.
The bike fired up first kick.

At the moment I am not sure if the bike has an intermittent fault or whether the problem was a poor battery.
Time will tell, but for now it is going. :-)

But just for the record, assuming that the bike is now running reliably, it has been 2 years and 8 months.
It is not road legal yet, but I have parts coming from Japan (sea freight) that should get it road legal in about 6 weeks.
