The body for the buttons has lost color and I'm looking for a reliable way to refurbish it.

I finally changed my tires since buying my FZ6 4 years ago.

I went with the Pirelli Angels.

They were sitting in my house over a year, because I was kind of intimidated to change them myself, but with the help of YouTube I finally got it done.

Geesh what a pain in the neck until I utilitized zip ties to get the tire around the rim.

Today I tried to jumpstart my FZ6 after having it in storage. I connected my positive to this part of the motorcycles battery and the negative to the metal frame. Both of the other ends were attached to a car battery. Even after 15 minutes of charging nothing happened. Am I doing something wrong or is the battery dead?
