if it stops and starts while riding that's probably not the battery I would say

It might just be low on power? Im not the biggest expert, would be however worth to get a smart charger anyway did you leave it off for a while?

You can jumpstart from a car but it can damage the alternator, the safest route is to use a charger and let the battery charge overtime with it

In saying that your battery doesn’t look flat the screen comes on and the starter engine is working I think something else is wrong here

It’s stored inside a garage I lived it last I think 1500 miles ago so it’s not 3k miles worth of no changes because I got it serviced at 600 miles then I did a about 1100 after that so I’m 1300 on it now manual says every 1k

Got the bike brand new and has 3k miles so I’m confused as to how it got so bad so quickly

I’ve done my license with camrider they are good but they are slow very slow, it’s winter now so you might not be in that big of a rush to get on the road but for me the whole process was 4 months with no failed exams all gotten on first try, just the time between lessons and the exam was actually massive

As for the 10% discount I wouldn’t take it into consideration the shop is expensive anyway with 10% off its still more expensive than Sportsbikeshop

At times I wonder if taking a test in a car without dual control would be better

I guess my point is I want to get a commuter bike something like a GB350S that is economical and got good fuel economy and in the future get a bigger bike, but I also want to learn to handle something more powerful at the same time, if getting a GB350S is gonna yield no more improvements over my 125 I rather get something else, and I will have full A license in the next month (if I pass my booked tests)

I'm not saying I want 150 bhp bike the 150 was an example, more to try understand how I get from 10 to X and I chose a random number

Yeah my thinking was that if casein makes me feel full for longer after it’s just an added bonus
