I've had SERIOUS problems with the 09 this winter. Due to the short distance to work I've not been getting enough charge back in to the battery so it's been going flat (I never had the problem with either of the carb'ed bikes....so assuming it's due to the extra charge requirement of the efi and the pump). I have a spare battery at home now, and it's kept charged just in case...

So how to jump start it just in case is handy to know.

And I have started the 06 using the short-out-the-solenoid method...it sparks nicely!

Gina 03 America - Pretty stock - except the TBS wheel... 06 America - missing, presumed in bits. With it's TBS wheel... 09 America - It's very blue....
