Battery

Last weekend I had to push the bike to a viaduct for down speed.

But this viaduct wasn’t high enough.

So I had to push the bike back home. Damn, that thing is heavy!!! I think I have lost e few pond to push the bike up the summit.

 

Solution: new CTEK. This time I bought a CTEK zafir 90.

How does this tool help you push your motorcycle ?

See those croc clips? Attach them somewhere round about where the sun don't shine, press the red button. It's good for about 100 metres.

But antonio, I got my 1200 sport with a dead battery, bought a new one (170euro!) And 2 days later it didn't start anymore. Wasn't the battery, but the inside of the cable ends that connect to it, they were just slightly corroded. I cleaned that, and since then 100% cranking power. Your battery doesn't need a gadget like you got.

Yeah, the battery contacts on the Griso were a bit loose and it wouldn't start. I tightened them and it was ok.

There are battery people who say that the Optimate and similar devices aren't good for batteries these days, or just aren't needed. I would use one to bring it up to charge, but not to keep it constantly connected.
