Well he got his slap and things slowly coming together

and guess what I managed myself I stress to take the battery out of my SV as it was flat as a pancake

now now - lets have the whole story about taking the battery out shall we?

who was it who was working through the haynes manual to do this?

and who was it who, when they finally got their seat off, could not see the battery?

and then who rang a friend to help find the battery?

and can anyone else wonder why i say we teach you spannering on the sv, before you play with the falco??

Did I mention that after taking out every single screw nut and bolt that the battery was the last thing I found so who knows how it goes back together

Only joking, well at least I managed to do something right pmsl

now i have to be honest and at least say you did do it , and on your own

and am glad to say at least you have a tool set to do such things

oh - i have found you a trickle charger of your own as well

.... and just in case we have any untutored people ....

When removing a battery, disconnect the -ve terminal first

When reconnecting a battery, reconnect the -ve terminal last

(on a -ve earthed bike or car .... as they all tend to be these days)

The only good excuse for ever trusting a Haynes.

Let's just hope his medical skills are somewhat better than his abilities as a mechanic (or as a maker of excuses)!

Now now Pete, no need to refer to yourself as a tool...

Jadaris · #45 Post by **Jadaris** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 9:40 am

pmsl that's good

But yes really Pete is my handy tool

and a bloody good tool at that but the other day when battery was flat I had to DIY and today the battery goes back on so let's just see if I can put it back together
