These so-called "smart" chargers need a minimum voltage level to charge.
So you could have a battery which can be recovered, but the "smart" charger refuses to charge it (unless it has a sulphated battery recovery mode)
Otherwise you're better off with a good old fashioned transformer-based dumb charger in this scenario
I'm sure someone mentioned here before about connecting a 6V sealed lead acid battery they had lying around in series with their bike battery. This brought the voltage up enough to convince the "smart" charger to start doing its bloody job
and after a while they could disconnect the 6V battery Scrap the cap!

We have a couple of "smart chargers" , they did nothing. Then I connected it up to old faithful, my 12 year old Saito charger. It was left on overnight and nothing.
Herself picked up a new battery from Battery World and it'll be dropped into the bike this weekend. The R Nine T is up for sale at the moment because she doesn't use it.0 -

If it was washed anymore there'd be no paint on the tank

oooh wait :pac:
We reduced it to a paltry €9500 for a week only then its being traded in against a new HD Nightster 1200. Which would be better suited to sit in the garage gathering dust :P
Absolutely no offence intended (folks never say that truthfully!:)) and I'm neither a beemer nor harley fan..... but thats ten times the bike of a harley nightser. Head examination time!:eek:

Not today but the following done to the 1290 just before the first service (Akra map installed along with it). Removing the SAS and EVAP emissions systems was a bit of a ball ache - so much crap!

Beautiful system. Why did the shock have to come out, block header bolts?
What weight saving was there over standard? Prob makes a whack load more now, be nice to see before and after dyno charts? It always surprised me how more refined a custom map was over a generic one, esp off small openings from a neutral throttle. Will you bother or is it job done?
Edit: ahhh i see why the shock came out now lol! Wp aint bad!, can the gold one be felt as an improvement?0 -

far more modest here, but fitted a Tutoro chain oiler to my CRF1000. PITA tbh, as there is zero - and I mean zero - room on the bike to mount anything.

I removed the Tour Pak from my Ultra Limited with the help of my missus yesterday (it's f*cking heavy), fitted a solo seat and some new slightly forward footboards. It gives me two extra inches of room.
Also without all the extra weight the bike is a lot more "flighty".
Next step is a full exhaust, more air flow and a tuner.

Lookin very genick diablo very genick indeed. Where does one bring a bike such as this to be tuned and with what?
Spoke to fella once who was something of an expert on making them handle. Well by "them" I mean the ones with damper rod forks. Does yours run a cartridge or is she a good old fashioned plunger?
If sge runs the latter have a search for "intiminator". A smart product with a stupid name, which I told him:)0 -

Whats the FP3, a harley pc3? Does that bike have a lambda exhaust sensor?
Now for some old n dirty stuff:)
Yeah....lol.
Whoever tightened these was on the roids.
Ewwww, hes using car oil:eek:
Bag of engine oil left overnight on cable opening= happy throttle cable.
Fixed the blow with the collet but the exhausts shagged. They rusted like a disprin dropped in coke at the sight of water from new. New non oem replacement on the way. Things a boat anchor but had good back pressure...
Relay replaced and now I've indys!
Loads more done and loads more to do. Great fun!:D0 -
More messing with red...:)
Too loud, even with db killer. Fitted another in the link just to see and no joy.
Volumes small for a large displacement single imo, yoke has no back pressure. Leaned out the low and part throttle majorly, she was very sharp and barky sounding, and you can kinda smell it. You dont want to run these lean;)
So what do i want? Slightly more throat than oem, back pressure so no straight throughs, lighter weight, no corrosion and no repacking...
Gen 1 busa on the l, k1 gixer thou on r. 3 and 4 bolt flange respectively.
Popular mod in the dr and klr 650 worlds. They have on the shelf "midpipe" options you can buy aftermarket to accommodate but not so on this lesser spotted yoke.
Back from my the freindly machinist.
Will take the dominator link pipe (47.5mm od, 1.5 wall stainless 304) arrive at and mark up the alignment and have it tigged into the flange's 49mm opening. Make a relocating bracket for the hanger and see where the jetting is. Much fun pulling BST33's in and out of her. Probably up the mains a touch.
Once the exhausts sorted I'm eyeing up transplanting a four pot calioer on to replace the weak brake and pray two pot slider. Would appreciate advice from any machinist present? 6082 t6 is what i think ill use and if i can buy it flat faced in the width i need i think i can do this myself....maybe.0 -

It turned out to be too complex for their mechanics
So I'm using a Vance & Hines FP3 with has custom maps and then running an autotune feature in it. So far fantastic results.0 -

2010 FJR with 90k kms and this year I had ad electrical problems while on holidays with the earth spiders 08-11 fjr had this problem. Stripped all plastic off and cut off 4 of the 8 spiders which are prone to heat and cause weird electrical problems. No headlights, or indicators. Fans stop working and in extreme cases motorcycle stops and no start. Hot weather where the fans cut in regularly seems to be the main culprit. Wired the fan earths and headlight earths direct to the battery so taking most of the load from the spiders. This is the recommended fix as the Yamaha fix only moves the problem to another spider.Hopefully further problems solved, Attached picture shows the No.8 spider behind nearside headlamp And the really burned one No.4 left hand side under tank. Very little or no room the big issue
Began this fix on Thursday morning and started the bike after the fix last evening. Everything is good. Plastics to be put on today. Plastic ready to go back on.

Lovely, I love the bagger look : although I admit the rear box has it's uses.
There again, I have an FLHRSI with the removable rack, and I have adapted a Givi on there. On & Off in 5 seconds (rack & all), with no tools.
I'd love to change the OE saddle, and maybe bars. Trying to figure out what saddle would be an improvement without actually trying one is a major PITA(sic). Bars are even more complicated.Ode To The Motorist
