    Gi, just wanna post my experience with the TA600. Had it in storage in my +5C garage all winter and fired her up a couple of times. Then come spring, ready to ride, fire up, but no.. the dash lights flicker , then all dead. Suspected dead battery. Charge it with CTEK charger for motorbike ...

    Just thought I'd post up some thoughts on the above charger. It's a compact gizmo built around a DIN plug that enables you to charge two USB gadgets simultaneously. It's voltage sensitive so switches itself off when the input voltage drops below a predetermined number, designed to protect...

  6. Dominator / FMX
    Hi All I am fitting a phone holder to my Dommie (1996 RD08). When I came to wire it in I found the pictured wire and connector under the seat above the battery. It has the same type of plug as my phone charger and would be an ideal plug in point if it is a switched connector. It is hard wired...

    Oh no not again. This is my new AT battery. It's a 4 cell pack of 15Ah capacity. It weighs less than 2kg and if I'm honest it scares me a little since those cells will discharge happily at 150A. It cost less than 100GBP. Whilst bits are painted plated or otherwise fettled I'm getting on with...
  8. How to.....
    Hi, I have a electrical fault on my RD07 AT. the battery keeps going flat. It's fine when I ride the bike frequently but if not it appears ok then all of a sudden after a couple of days it drops the charge and goes flat. I have been leaving it on the optimisor/charger for the winter but...

  11. Varadero
    Morning guys. I bought a 12v 6a battery charger as my battery is flat. I connected everything up and ten minutes later the battery is bubbling quite a lot . Shat myself and unplugged everything in case it decided to blow up. I then noticed that my battery is a 12v 4ah battery, the manual said...

    I've been promoting my Motobatt AGM battery part No MBTX9U its been brilliant no problems but last week it dropped dead just short of five years so i'me a bit disapointed am I expecting too much? So I'me considering going back to a ordinary lead acid type, can anyone recommend a specific...
  13. Varadero
    I'll be picking my Vara up from store in a few weeks but have the slight problem that the battery will very likely be flat...For various reasons I couldn't take it out when I parked it up and there's no leccy supply there. Sooo, one of the options is that I buy a battery, get it shipped to my...

    Hi all I've just bought a Tom Tom Urban Rider Sat Nav, but need a mounting kit for it. Ideally I'm looking for the type of mount that comes with a charger lead to the battery so it can charge whilst riding, but ultimately any suitable mounting kit will do. Does anyone have one for sale...
  16. XR
    Hi, I'm off on a long journey on my 2002 XR and was looking at buying a solar monkey charger for my mobile phone and camera etc. Then I thought maybe an output socket from the wiring harness might just give enough power to charge these things. Anyone ever fitted a output electrical socket to...
  17. Bodgers Corner
    I have a charger plug fitted to most of my bikes so I decided to take my GPS/Satnav USB power from there. I brought 2 different Chinese Cheapo 12v to USB converters that are much smaller than the socket converters that are not an easy shape to stow on a bike. A small inline converter with 1m...
  18. Dominator / FMX
    Hi, went to start my bike for the usual commute home, and the starter motor turned for a few seconds and slowly stopped without the engine firing. Odd as I fitted a new battery 4 months ago. Bike bump started fine and got home ok. Charged the battery on an Optimate charger overnight but the...

  20. Africa Twin
    I know this must have been discussed before but I cant find any thread and wondered if anyone has come up with an answer. I have had a battery draining problem on the XRV since I purchased it in 2002 and replaced numerous batteries. Batteries would be fine as long as I rode the bike every few...
