Thank you for the tip but the original post was last year. I have been running a Lucas battery since then with no problems.

If you have trouble cranking the engine over in cold weather, check what engine oil you have in. If its too viscious, ie 20w50, not 10w40, the engine will have difficulty turning over. My father always used to swear by a 50/50 mix of gearbox oil and paraffin (kerosene) in his 1952 Triumph Thunderbird in the winter. I DO NOT recommend this in a modern bike!

It was once common practice to dilute Aero engine lube oil with petrol/gasoline before shutting down in arctic conditions and a lot of Russian military vehicles still have a provision to dilute lube oil with deisel spirit under the same conditions. But as you say not to be recommended with modern motorcycle engines.

You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate.
