battery

I'm looking to buy a new battery for my 2003 RSV, can anyone recommend one. I keep it on the OptiMate when I'm not using it

Aha, day 1 and I'm at it again :megaphone I'm going to get me a front paddock stand to use with my '04 RSV, for wheel/tyre changing (not planning on having the forks out...touch wood). So, despite the old adage of "buy cheap, buy twice" is there a downside to the sub-£30 front stands? Also...

I was wondering what is the best battery for high cranking amps and for holding a good charge. Most of us seem to have experienced issues with starting but I know a good battery and working starter relay seems to fix it most of the time. We know about the Yamaha starter relay but the battery...

Right think i read on here some where that the first of the mille's had a higher amp/voltage battery As i have 03 model and have the hit the start button and it reset back to factory settings Am i right in saying the above,if so what code is on this battery and also i have to change the battery...

Hi, My stock battery died today, leaving me stranded at a filling station. Looking around the threads here, it seems that it may be possible to fit a larger capacity item - trouble is that I am not sure whether these fit an '07 model. Could somebody help me out please and point me to the best...

Evening my groovers, hope this Monday night is going well for you all? Before I buy, this is the right battery for my 08 plate T, isn't it? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-YUASA-YTX12-BS-MOTORBIKE-QUAD-JETSKI-BATTERY-/120607616202?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item1c14c62cca If it is...

Just been told by a friend that my optimate 4 will not maintain my new gell battery?? anyone shed any light on this?,,:dunno

just read this sticky about the charging circuit modification and its a good read thanks http://rsvzone.com/forums/showthread.php?5114-RSV-Voltage-Regulator-Wiring-Modification&highlight=battery+modification is this an issue with all rsv 's? or is it just the older ones. and when are you most...

hi guys! i've got some questions 'bout my Mille RP 01. Since i have bought it the front discs sound like ,"someone is shaking screws in a tin can" ,while moving the bike slowly. Is it normal that the floaters have so much space they can produce such loud sounds? Radial play is about 0,2mm...

Hi all, I recently had a flat battery after not using it through the winter, jump started it and starts fine now but when I tried starting it for the first time with a flat battery most things on the clocks have reset themselves. Does anybody know how to set mph from kph and how to switch off...

If you look at some of my bike pics, when I got this bike it was in pieces. Having rebuilt it I can't seem to figure out what is supposed to hold the battery down. I bought the piece that is supposed to go on the battery and screw to the underseat but it's not even close to reaching as if my...

Just wondering if it's ok to remove the battery from the bike and bring it inside for a month or two?. With the ridiculously low temperatures we have been having recently and forecasts saying there is another very cold snap on the way I was thinking about lifting the seat, removing the battery...

cold weather is here. has anyone found the perfect battery for the tuoldo. i have a 12 amp. thinking of getting a 14 amp. anyone got one. what make and any improvement ?

Ok guys, well I have known for a while that the battery was gone, ok for now. BUT, now when I turn the key I get nothing, no dash, no fuel pump prime, NOTHING.... Is that just a sign of a really ****** battery..........or something else :eek: Cheers Pete

Hi folks, am planning laying the bike up soon, as my lock up doesn't have power in it is it ok to take the battery out and keep it on a tender at the house or will it bugger up the clocks if disconnected, i'm sure i read somewhere that it could zero the mileage on the clocks!!!!!. Cheers Jim.

right i need a new battery so go to battery shop hasnt got a ytz14sbs and bloody pricey too but he has a ytx14bs 12v 12ah 100en so i ask about sae and he says 100en is about the same as 230 sae looking on battery sites and the same battery code has different ratings try to find a...

Evening all! I've just invested in an Oxford Maximiser (Knock-off Optimate), as I'd like to keep the battery in tip-top condition. One problem though, I can't keep the battery on charge overnight while it's in the bike because the bike is kept outside and it's not viable to get power to it...

When i first got the bike the battery let me down. I'd heard brilliant reports about the Odyssey PC310 and at over £90 they're exceptionally expensive. To be honest, i was never impressed with the PC310, didn't inspire me like it was going to fire up easily. So i decided to do a bit more...

Just checked the VBatt status on the RSV. It reads 10.5 or thereabouts. Is this good, bad or indifferent? It's just sitting there at the moment, just the alarm and whatever else is on it to drain the battery. It's not on an Optimate, cos I haven't got one, nor power to the garage. I'll...
