Buckster Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 My battery just packed up, luckily I was at home, I was just about to go for a ride, started the bike then shut it down because the starter was slow, went to start it again and everything died, no voltage under load, stuck my starting pack on it and everything was good. @Marcel le Moose Fondler how are you getting on with that Noco lithium? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they are about £60 more than a standard battery but they have a five year warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 My bike is a 2008 and this will be its third battery so it is averaging 1 battery every 8 years, now remind me how long that battery has been in the Affy? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest i'm surprised it's lasted this long, i'll probably put a new one on this year as a precaution because the bike is always in a heated garage it can give you a sense of false security. it happened with my CB everything was fine until i had one cold night camping and the battery was dead in the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the box the pilot jet for the XR turned up in yesterday i don't mind but it arrived Thursday but nobody was in to take the delivery so was redelivered yesterday if it was in a padded envelope it would have gone through the letter box. The box was a perfect size for the 24mx stickers that came with it though 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Been to the hardware shop to get some metal fencing for the top of the Pagoda......protection for the tortoises against vultures. Then when of those surreal moments happened when their radio switched from endless wailing Spanish music to Black Sabbath "Paranoid". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Battery is here and on charge. Weighs about a quarter of the one I have taken out. The old one is looking a bit bulgy on the sides. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 That’s the new battery on, it has some serious cranking power. I have the NOCO charger on my old battery now to see it it can recover it, although I doubt it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
