battery

i've done this last night and it was quite easy. i removed the battery and holder, starter and solenoid. all i had to do was disconnect a two-pin connector from the solenoid and that was it. i pulled the sprague and idler gear out the side as well as putting a factory bung in...

is this easy or possible when you run the FE? many of you will know that i ran without a kickstart at all for two years and that i finally gave in and re-fitted the kickstart. what has made me go the other way you ask? well firstly, i may make my own airbox in the future and i don't want any...

Hi guys, I just sold my '97 fe501e and bought an '03 fe400e. She's a wee gem but won't start with the e-start, the battery is the problem so i was wondering what the standard battery is and if there is a more powerful replacement. Thanks for any help. The battery has been tested and found...

Hi reading a few posts requesting a battery box that sits under the seat. My 470 has had this done, thus meaning a much bigger battery can be used. Look in my gallery for a pic of bike and box. I'll post up another few pics of just the box with diamentions so everyone can, if wanting one can...

I have checked all my connections and they are tight ( I have not checked under the ground to see if the paint was removed). If I charge it with a battery tender I get about ten starts before the battery goes dead. I just did a 150mile ride and it didn't even save enough juice to turn the...

My local dealer is no longer selling 'bergs so if anyone knows of a dealer, and preferably on the west coast, who has the black piece of plastic that covers the battery please PM me their name and phone number. I don't know how I misplaced it in only a weekend but stranger things have happened...

Looking at the spec of the 04 model, it having a full leccy boot, has anyone tried upgrading their earlier model bike (mines an 02 650) by putting the YTZ 7S battery on it? If so, firstly does it alter the electric start to be able to start from cold? Where can you get these batteries from other...

What should I put on my 02 650? Can I use a more powerful bat then standard and keep the existing starter. Would a better bat be more useful re the existing e starter? (that's rarely effective of course!) :? Are there any problems with a more powerful bat and the standard wiring :? Does...

I have a 2001 Fs650e and I would like to connect the battery to the lights> At present the horn and turn signals are activated with the key switch I would also like the lights to work with the key> I am not sure how to go about this without damaging the electronics> :?

It is finally time to start riding my 2002 FE 501 after a long stretch of laziness. What is the best choice for a new battery? I prefer one with a little more cranking power than the stocker, but I don't want to hurt any of the electronics with more juice. Also, is the 2003 rocker upgrade...

I know this topic was covered awhile back but I cannot find it. Does anyone know of a 'better' replacement battery for my 2003 FE501E please? If so, a product name & part number would be very handy - Thank You.
