Yes mate but due to lack of funds it was only built from used parts hence my surprise at the outcome. :grin:
Also pm on its way

After some overheating issues with the trackdog at Cadwell earlier in the year she was pushed into the garage and forgotten about but with a trip to Mallory coming up in a few weeks ive had to get a move on and replace the head gaskets and have the heads checked.
Only other change to the bike was purchasing a lithium ion battery (many thanks Luke) which dispite its dinky size and weight has some right cranking power.

Had a read up on the charging of the lithium stuff and you will be ok with charging so long as the charger has not got a sulphated setting, basically needs a simple trickle charge.

Thankyou for the info Chris
Will it be ok to still run my charging system on the bike then or will i have to run it total loss and re charge it off the bike?
Thanks James

Doesn't seem to say much about stock charging systems due them being sold as light quick charge race batterys that most people will run dead loss, dont see why they wouldn't work with the stock system.

Hi all.
Yes its true, trackdog and i have gone our separate ways.
It got to the point where I was only using once or twice a year and was sick of it just sitting there so decided to part ex it for something else but I have to say I'm starting to miss it.
