Many thanks for that information Stephen it certainly is useful, it'll take a bit of digesting for me though. I've never actually used a paddock stand, they look a bit intimidating to me. I was thinking it might be an idea to find out how they go on at the dealers. I use an Abba stand which is easy to fit, rock solid, and allows removal of rear wheel. When you change bikes you just buy a fitting kit for that model for about £20.I don't suppose it'll be any use with the 961 though.The micro jump start I kept under the seat of my blade is really small, about 5 x 3" and only 1" thick and comes with a pair of little crocodile clips. A punture repair kit is always worth carrying when you have tubed tyres. If you leave out the gas cylinders you basically have a rubber plug, a tiny tube of glue, a little razor blade to cut off the plug, and a thing to push the plug home. The kit's very small, you could carry it in your shirt pocket. If I attach my charging lead to the battery it would poke out from under the tank I assume rather than the seat as usual. I'm not sure what these pig tail leads are. Supposedly they would just fit on top of the charging lead terminals on the battery terminals and poke out under the tank just the same? Would they have terminals to attach the jump start crocodile clips?
