battery

Yeah, can you believe it? my bike has about 12 hours on it and I took it out a few days ago only to tow it back to the truck. luckily, only 3-4 miles of fairly flat terrain. checked EVERYTHING and thought.."no, it can't be loose terminals" read all the posts about not having a kick start has...

Just finishing winterizing my bike and I'm having a bit of a time getting the battery out. Have the rubber carb boot off, the electrial doo-hickey over the battery out of the way, yet when I try to slide the battery up, it hits the frame. Am I missing something here? I can usually figure this...

Hi Guys, some advice/peace of mind please. I have recently connected an Oximiser (battery conditioner) directly to the batt on my 08' FE450... and then on getting aquainted with the owners manual it advises on page 45 "To avoid damage to the onboard eletronic system, always disconnect the...

Have you heard about the new E-Batt lightweight batteries? I just installed the 8 cell lithium in my 2002 FE501, replacing the old lead acid battery. The new battery offers 300 cranking amps. The motor started on the buttom cold using the stock starter motor too! The batteries are rated to...

Hi all, Just obtained a converted 02 550FC to supermoto. My gripe is that the lights are running off of the alternator which is fine up until the bike stalls in the dark.The wiring used to make the conversion looks pretty much identical to the ones from the FE or FS bikes. Been thinking of...

I've got little patience for this weak starter mess, and I think it would be nice to have the extra space for a decent catch can, packed lunch, etc. So, while my motor is out being repaired and updated I'd like to do a little cleaning up of the wiring. I've removed the starter, solenoid...

Is this the right battery for my bike? AGM CTZ7s 7ah or should i go for 5ah? Thanks for answers

if your bike calls for battery abc, then use abc. using a different battery, like replacing a yuasa 5xxx with a 7xxx is wrong. in this example the 7 puts out a higher amp rating. so guess what happens? the motor tries to spin too fast and the the sprague disconnects. it goes crank, crank...

I'm going to pull the battery and starter on my 08 FE 450. I've been through a couple batteries on the thing already and between my fan and GPS I rarely get through a day without having to kickin it to life. I'm to the point I don't use the starter anymore to save the battery for the freakin fan...

I've recently bought one of Taffmeisters superduper batteries and superduper starter motors. Question is, how do I wire everything up. Problem is, the stock wiring harness is long gone and I've made my own harness, this however is setup to run everything from the stator, so no wires for...

Hello everybody, :idea: The speedo battery in my 09 570 was already flat when I got the bike! The speedo would not turn on without the engine running. The replacement battery is a 3V CR 2430 located in a compartment under the speedo unit. All re-set the clock and all seemed OK. I...

I´m changing the standard battery to an YTZ14S, and off course changing it to under the seat, to fit. In 2002 the wiring has one yellow connected to a regulator, and to the lights and horn, so not charging the battery. The other yellow a regulator/rectifier, and to the battery and start...

I know, I know... you get what you pay for... but dang the the yuasa ytz7s is expensive! Should I just bite the bullet and get another one or is there anything cheaper that works?

have a customers bike here right now, an '02 and someone has stuck the battery up under the seat out the way. aesthetically it looks better IMHO but what made me smile was the way that it got put there. that central bolt that ALL husabergs have? the one in the middle of the bike? well he...

Hi all Need some advice (new to the forum and the world of husaberg). I seem to be having issues with the battery on my 2006 FS 650e, if I ride the bike daily I have no issues with starting the bike but if I have anymore than 2 days between rides it will not start. I t just clicks until I...

Tec Mate has recently released the Optimate 4 which should be an even better version of one of if not the best charger available. http://www.toolsource.com/optimate-diagnostic-battery-charger-optimizer-p-104213.html http://www.webbikeworld.com/r3/motorcycle-battery-charger/optimate-4/
