Starting

[Ralph]

Been riding round on my W800 for 2 months so the MT has not been started,
out of idle curiosity I pressed the button the other day and it started instantly
just as though it was just running, makes you wounder how that tiny battery
turns what is quite a big high compression twin but it does.

Indeed so. I have had similar pleasant experiences with my MT-07, when it has not been run for over a month. It fired up immediately and sounded great. Mine also has a Meta alarm running in the background, which drains the battery slightly, even when it has ramped down into hibernation, but not enough to impede cranking. Remarkable!
