It was predictable that my battery would fail to turn over my Rock's engine, now that colder weather has arrived. After sitting unused for 4-5 days, with nightly lows in the 40s, today was the day that she choked and, adding insult to injury, all this occurred within a day of planning to install a much-needed pigtail connection for my battery tender, so I won't have to remove the seat each time I need to use it.
All goes well until I attempt to fasten the positive lead to the battery, which already has another lead, from my GI Pro, I believe, attached to it. Would you believe that the addition of the battery tender's lead prevents the bolt on the battery's anode from threading??? The lead from the tender can't be much more than 1/32" thick! Do you think that Triumph takes its precision engineering a bit to far?
