  1. Battery or need a relay?

    My "08 R3T started having cranking problems a while back. Battery seemed to be dying so I replaced it with the lithium one from Battery Tender. Started having the same issue.

    16ºF and No Can Start, Gotta Ride to Work, Battery Recommendations?

    Looking back quickly over past threads, there seemed to be a consensus on the Odyssey PC625 battery, but those posts were 2008-2009 era. Is that still the best choice to start the beast? I leave the bike plugged into a battery tender, but she sleeps in a utility shed, so she's pretty cold to...

    The Lithium Battery debate.

    Stumbled on this yesterday. Not Cheap but also rather honest regarding equivalent Lead Acid expectations. May not be available outside the EU (in fact may be awkward outside Germany) Lithium Powerbloc EXCLUSIVELY A123Systems LiFePO4. But maybe for those in colder climes.

    Loose Battery Poles

    My battery pole screws keep getting loose. The bike does not want to start and if I tighten the screws a little they are fine for a while and this recurs. :thumbsdown: Lock washer, pressure washer?

    Battery compatibility

    I've owned my R3T for about 8 years. During this time I've replaced 3 batteries. I tried gel, lead acid and AGM type batteries. None are any too great. Using a battery tender, and follow good maintenance practices. When I bring up the subject with friends the general thought is 2 yrs. life...

    Battery /Solenoid?

    Dear Captains, Re my late 2014 Roadster. I changed the oil just over a week ago. Went to fire the bike up afterwards and just got a firm click. As I hadn't fired up the Rocket for a couple of months (been working on and testing my old Bonnie) I wasn't too surprised. I put the battery on...

    Battery relocation

    Long story short, I wanna give the bike a solid foundation line from tank through the seat. (Think cafe racer) I’m looking into the idea of relocating the battery and removing the air box then using that area under the seat for a fuel tank. Overfill the tank past the sub frame to raise the seat...

    Hello Friends, It has been a busy week. I am taking off tomorrow September 14th for a 3 day ride in Indiana along the Ohio River. Since I will not be checking in for a few days I thought I would leave you with this. After watching it I am going to subtitle this one my "So" episode.
