[QUOTE="jmgrif, post: 1108517, member: 17460"] Not sure if this relates but, here in the Great White North we're about about to change horses. A friend who just did his oil/filter etc. for winter storage had left his bike in the carport for the last few days. It's been a little cool -10 c overnight and a few degrees warmer during the daytime. He tried starting the bike to move into his garage but it wouldn't start? Similar cranking, and then pop? He uses 20/50 oil, ask him I don't know why? Anyway with jumpers we were able to get the bike to finally start! It's an 07 and may have the original battery? He is the second owner so has little background re some service records? My only comment after this long dissertation is, it seemed as if his battery could do the job but the cranking had a far greater urgency without the popping while jumping? New battery for next season. [/QUOTE]
