battery

Hi all. You may ahve seen my post about 2 weeks ago regarding being kicked back by my berg resulting in a broken foot. Healing ok which is the good news. Since the incident I decided to upgrade the starter motor to the Mitsuba SM-14 which I got from ebay for less than £10. Also I bought a...

Hi! I've been bothering several of the clever minds on the site, but seem to need a thorough walkthrough as i'm severely electrically challenged!!!! I got my engine back from a recreational stay at Taffy's yesterday, it's now reassembled but no lights!! While my engines been in safe hands i've...

I saw in a thread CelcticDude has done this, anyone else? Will it be plug and play without the battery? My beloved 550 gets a case of the boils when in a low air flow situation...blahblahblah. You know when. Seems to still rip, but I got her wicked hot the other day at 12,500'. Melted the...

Hi all, I have been working on and am in the process of coverting my FE400 to start using 12 4200mah sub c NiMh cells as used in radio controlled cars. They spin the motor nice an quick and it fires into life much better. My question to you is how many volts is it safe to put down the white...

A while back PowerCell turned me on to BrailleAuto batteries. I have one in my 950 SE and like it allot. Now I am thinking of installing one in my 650. The problem is that their smallest battery is larger than my current battery box. I recently bought a larger battery box but it is not large...

Hi all, I'm new here, my name is Edoardo, I'm from Italy. I've recently bought a wonderflul 2008 FS 650e. Great bike, but the battery is giving me a lot of problems. How long is your battery life? Mine seams quite short; it's just a problem of my battery or is quite common? Can you give me...

I am ordering a lithium-ion battery for my 2006 fe450. Has anyone had experience with this type of motorcycle battery? Does anyone know how many continuous amps and 10 second amps I can specify to be at max but not damaging? Thanks for any info, Mike

Hi I have a 06 berg with electric starter and the cooling fan. the battery doesn't work well and is always discharge. that's the reason why I want to remove it with the whole engine, gear cables, button etc etc (it's 8kilograms removed) BUT.. i have the cooling fan and i am wondering if...

Hi, As always, I have a couple of questions about my bike. Does anybody has experience with the Yuasa bettery chargers? In the Yuasa web site they show one charger rated at 900 mA and the other is rated at 1.5 A. Which one suits better a YTZ7S battery? Thanks

As I have removed the starter assembly (paper weight), I'd also like to replace the battery with a smaller model, and to relocate it under the seat. Basically I need it to run the lights as well as a GPS V Garmin unit. What do you recommend I use to hold the battery under the seat and what...

hi everyone! Is it safe to charge the battery when it is mounted in the bike? the thing is that dismounting the battery is a chore and I want to avoid it if possible. Thanks everyone.

i recently bought an FS650e and after 24 hours the battery was dead. so after kick starting it for a week and tearing up my shins i went out yesterday and bought a brand new battery. it worked fine for the day but by the next day it was dead also!! the strange thing is that after kick starting...

You've probably all been here before but whats the best battery to fit an FE400E,something with a bit of grunt and without having to modify the battery box.Rumor has it a Yuasa YTZ7S will do the job?.I just need to know if thats the case, will it fit without any mods and, will the cover still...

Well I have an 02 FX 650 without battery and e-start. I have been speaking with a few people, and they say I should go to a battery and R/R system. I am under the impression that with modern dual sport setups from Baja Designs and Electrosport that I do not have to worry so much about the...

Hi, Probably get flamed for this question but here goes! My 650 has been sat over the winter and the battery is flat as a pancake. Went to kick it over, not a sausage! So, is it possible to kick the bike over with a flat battery and how???
