Thruxton - Flat Battery Blues

So I left the freakin' headlight on all night and drained the battery. So I spent half of a great Saturday morning waiting for the bastard to charge enough to get the bike going. So I had some time to kill - camera and coffee time sez I!

Push start it dude Great bikes though I have one

I tried to, but with a completelt drained battery thesem bikes are very hard to roll start. I didn't work.

Yep, you'll feel the power difference with better flowing mufflers, and you need to re-jet too. Demending on your elevation and which pipes you choose you'll end up rejetting to something like 135/42. I had (have since sold this bike) Staintunes and it was jetted to 139/42. I also got rid of the airbox and fitted K&N pods - this with the Staintunes really freed up the bikes potential.

It was one of the critisisms of this bike it did'nt have a kick start, it would have realy looked cool to start it like that, very althentic,
