Went to start my bike this afternoon for the first time since last august, it fired up after a bit of a stutter so I let it run while I checked tyre pressures,oil and checked the brakes weren't seized. I then switched off when I went inside to get changed, came back out ready for a ride , won't start, battery dead as a door nail, :facepalm: dials do the full sweep , but barely half a crank, so it's on charge at the moment, try again tomorrow and hopefully all will be well :notworthy:.
The silver lining in that cloud is, now you get to go shopping for a new battery, :boogie: let the fun begin.
Not yet @ kiwicol, hopefully the battery will be all good tomorrow, fully charged and holding its charge, if not :: shopping :riding: :salute:
Long lay-ups aren`t good for any bike. Especially if not even fired-up or moved within that period. Think brakes; electrics; chain; engine oil etc. etc. Trickle chargers rule...... :)

I like your confidence but ......
My money is absolutely on new battery being required. They do that - when they go they just go. No warning.
