    2006 R3 - Battery, starter, neg cable...???

    Searched for Battery Tracker - only available with Antigravity I see. Found the Lead-Acid model. Wouldn't this drain the battery powering itself ?

    2006 R3 - Battery, starter, neg cable...???

    Thanks for that heartfelt comment. I put in the new 310cca battery and it fires no problem. I think I will stop using the trickle charger and see if perhaps it has a fault. Crazy that that last battery only lasted two weeks. Wal-Mart did refund it. Also have a new voltage regulator and negative...

    WTH ? It is a gel… prefilled and charged. Ridden 309 miles. What does the charger have to do with it? I thought you told me I need a new battery ? I just installed a new one.

    By the way I just got home and my headlight to go out when it tries to crank. Hopefully the new battery gets here but I just find it hard to believe a brand new gel battery would be dead.

    Weeks ago bought. It is gel, I thought they were more stable than liquid acid and longer life ? I will confirm connection and look for date when I get home.

    I had the probes on the connected POS and NEG terminals - thinking THAT is what outputs to the starter... So I should try again on the battery terminals only then check the other ends of the POS and NEG cables ? Guess I have to look for a manual to show where they end.

    Why would you say that ? It is putting out 13v AND it is only weeks old? Could the charger be the issue, you think?

    What gets me is the intermittent occurrences - if its ignition or regulator why does it charge , run and start strong after the ride ?

    2006 R3 - Battery, starter, neg cable...???

    So 13.4v reading before crank from terminal leads. Then cranking went down to 6.5v ! WTF ?? This is after a night of charging so the 13.4 sounded right, but what pulls it down that far and once I ride it fires easily the rest of the day. Then overnight back to this **** ???

    2006 R3 - Battery, starter, neg cable...???

    I have one but what do I do measure for 12v with switch on and off ? Sitting and during start ? If it drops but not below 10v what does that tell me I need to look at? Don't think I mentioned but on top of the new battery - I removed and cleaned terminal connectors with a steel brush and it...

    2006 R3 - Battery, starter, neg cable...???

    Anyone ever had a battery tender drain the battery ? I leave it overnight - no start in the morning, I leave it of the tender after a ride and she is starting STRONG and in the morning - 2 slow cranks and nothing. I put it on the tender and after work - it starts right up... I like...
