Hi

Yes, although flattening a normal battery will shorten its life greatly.

All the best

What Keith said.

Also worth having a think about *why* your coolant is low. Got a leak? Dropped your bike recently? etc

I did actually drop it, it was a stopped drop basically long story nearly got run over by a car and braked in time then dropped it on the bobbin, no damage done... how do i check for leakage? plus i havent actually checked it since i got it... I know bad idea, must start remembering i dont own a car any more.
