A fully charged battery, left for an hour to settle should read ( in an ideal world ) 12.6 volts.
12.1 is on the low side.

 Nice run into Ipswich today, and had to explain to some very happy smiley people that my top was Suzuki blue.
 NOT Ipswich town FC blue .
 Fair play to them.

Ho Hum

I am guessing the linkages on the twin shocks are Japan only,don't think Uk ones have them  :shrug:
That backbone reminds me of my GPZ 900r, that handled OK ,but due to the huge top tube the rocker cover was a bloody nightmare to refit, maybe 1mm of clearance, just get it near and the bloody  rubber gasket comes out , pull it all out  reseat the rubber ,try again,,,,,,arghhhh.

You can also get 'lock' lubes in a spray form.
I've used the graphite powder & it works great, however I have now stated using the spray. It costs a bit more but it lasts for a long time, if you don't forget when you put it between uses,  :roll: & a bit easier to use.
Just a personal choice.  :)
Something like this but there are others.

I think you already know the most likely cause of your problem. I think you need a new battery. Mind when you are bumping it that you don't drop it instead causing more problems. Let us know how you get on.

Silly question time coming up :)
Is graphite powder actually a powder or is it a lube made from said powder?
