So I ran across this website and thanks to all those who started it up for a knuckle head like me to steal your tricks for what worked and didn't. Thanks so much for the online manual. you saved my money......:devious
My Mille is being stubborn and I thought there was an electrical gremlin in my bike, she just wouldn't start up, the battery was giving one hell of a time.:dunno
So, I got a friends little voltage meter and was acting like a smart scientist around the mille this morning, all the people in my housing complex came over and talked to me, trying to act smart with me. :eatcorn Telling me it could be that red wire there or the lead terminal not installed correctly. :jack
Hooked up the bike to my Nissan Titan truck (not while it was running), through jumper cables, no battery installed in the bike. To my surprise the mille dashboard told me a solid 12.4 V. I tried to start the bike, nothing. :rant
Started the truck, (while the bike key was in the off position) turned on the bike and let it sit for a minute. checked the dash on the mille was a solid 13.3 V. So I tried to start it and son of a B%^& she started like it was brand new.
:doug
So now I need some more help from all you smart mille owners, what batter is the best to buy, winter is coming up, so I intend to buy a new trickle charger too.
What brands have worked for you and which ones to stay away from??:dunno:dunno:dunno:dunno
