02 Honda Metro project.

Weird!? The brand new battery was "weak". The scooter does not sit for more than a day. It started up on kick start no problem, but when you hit the starter button you would hear a very faint clicking sound. So I rode it awhile at WOT and it then started on the button. I told the owner to try it this Sunday and if its weak again I'll take the expensive battery back to Batteries+ and have it checked. Note:
Battery tested on the low side for spec with a volt meter. Forgot what it was.
Both terminals were properly tight.
Fuses were good and properly seated.
No new crash damage.
Still fun to ride. Got it up to 45 (indicated) with a tailwind!
