Has it been sitting around for months? Might just go ahead and replace it.

no its only a month old and gets charged by the alternator pretty regularly but I dont go on very long rides and it never reaches a full charge

Well, you can go on a long ride to but a motorcycle charger then, and problem solved.

I had that problem too, drained a battery in a few months

Most auto parts stores can get you a 1 amp battery charger/maintainer. Expect to pay anywhere between 15 and 50 bux, depending on where you get it and its quality.

Hell, I'd be tempted to take one of the bajillion wall adapters I have and use it fer a charger. Long as it's 12 volts...

get a battery tender jr

a cheap trickle charger will kill the battery by overcharging

^ mount it under the seat and just plug the little disconnect into the cord when you need to

what is considered a "long ride"

7/9/2006 11:14:19 PM

It's when you ride to Mexico and stop in the ghetto for some burritos.



You should try it.

haha perfect i've never fully charged my battery then!

7/10/2006 12:12:47 AM

doesnt take 5 min to recharge from 1 start, why do you think you need a charger?

7/10/2006 9:46:26 AM

Ive got the same problem with mine at the moment. Normally there is no problem, but your screwed if you let it sit for a minute with it not running. If you put any load on it all like leaving the headlights on or much of anything youll have a hell of a time getting it started.

For some reason a new battery on that bike costs fucking $120.

7/10/2006 7:45:31 PM

^ you must have the same size one i do

7/10/2006 9:12:55 PM

battery tender

7/10/2006 9:57:42 PM

i've charged a couple at 10 amps on automatic before didnt have any issues

7/11/2006 11:21:57 AM

a battery tender will not charge a battery. it will only maintain a charged battery.
