I related what happened a few months ago.
Couldn't ride because petrol tank was at a welder for nearly a month. That didn't work and I had to resort to a devil's trick.
Preoccupied with that problem, and the unexpected long delay, I had neglected proper care of battery.
As I turned the ignition the fuel pump buzzed very low and slow, this battery was near death.
But the bike started at the first kick, and held.
I tested battery, multimeter read 10.5V.
So, starting can be done at such low charge.
I feared for life of battery but it recovered normally and holds as good as before. Got away with it, this time.
By the way, this is also consistent with Workshop Manual (9-9).
Multimeters may deviate, but this one is in line with my two battery chargers. Therefore I consider it fairly accurate.
