was reading about battery maintenance at Yuasa site and found this piece of info useful...

 

Your voltage regulator is set to maintain your system voltage at around 14 to 14.4 volts. If you’re one of those folks who rides the interstate highways with your voltmeter showing only 13.5 volts because you’re burning more lights than Macy’s Christmas display, you should be aware that that voltage is sufficient to maintain a charged battery but insufficient to fully recharge a depleted one.

 

Remember, we said that gassing occurs when all or most of the lead sulfate has been converted back to lead and lead dioxide. The voltage at which this normally occurs, known as the gassing voltage, is normally just above 14 volts. If your system voltage never gets that high, and if you don’t ever compensate by hooking up to a charger at home, the sulfate will begin to accumulate and harden just as plaque does in your mouth.

 

Consider a thorough occasional charging to be like a good job of flossing and brushing your teeth. If you practice poor dental hygiene, you can go to the dentist, and have him blast and scrape at the yucky stuff. When your battery reaches that stage, it’s curtains!

interesting way of putting the message across isn't it... looks like its time to invest in a voltmeter

Let us know when you are getting one... I am sure many are interested.....

[SW9000]

Yeah. Back from a short trip to Malacca and Genting with me wife.

Cruising at 120km/h most time.

 

No problem going up Genting with pillion and stuffs... manage to overtake a few cars too. hehe.

 

Time taken from Genting back to Tuas Custom = 5.5hrs, with breaks and titbits shopping at Yong Peng.

How did your tyres perform bro?

[MonoWorld]

scoobydoo bro, buy the digital voltmeter from teamshinez. it's damn accurate. if you can't get it from from teamshinez, u can get one from Southern Motor at $40. with installation, it's $45.

[SW9000]

How did your tyres perform bro?

 

Good good.

But I was travelling dry road all the way though.

[thatone1]

saw a pretty badly burnt FX plate SW at future scootering yday..

 

the dad of the owner told me that some indian kids threw sparklers down the block and the bike cover caught fire and also causing the seat and the paint to melt..

 

luckily someone saw the kids throwing down the flats.

 

total damage ? $1500 for repairs.

hi MonoWorld, you mounted the Voltage display on the handlebar? $45 sounds reasonable

teamshinez seems to be out of stock for now. btw, where did you place your voltmeter?

 

i was thinking of a portable one that plugs into the cigarette socket... something like this http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410P7ZJHZVL._SL160_AA115_.jpg

 

i'll ask boon siew later whether the perm fitted voltmeter is an "acceptable" enhancement... my ride is now at boon siew for diagnostic (batt flat issue) and also realign the steering

[scoobydoo]

if the chrome plate at your exhaust got scratched... can consider chroming it (if the price is right) instead of changing the whole piece, but guess cheapest way is to paste high heat stickers over it

i got mine from southern motor at $40. asked HKL's ah keong to install for me and pasted it on the dashboard jz below the right-hand side LCD screen. btw, the pic is showing 14.2V

 

btw scoobydoo, pls let us noe the outcome of the misaligned handlebar.

[MonoWorld]

hi MonoWorld, you mounted the Voltage display on the handlebar? $45 sounds reasonable

 

paithorn, pls refer to post #5542 for the pic

[kenshi1777]

Looking for SW 400, preferbly 2 year old and above as it will match my budget, anyone selling do pm me. Thanks

[scoobydoo]

... chances are your rectifier, if tats the cases tat mech words sure costs your time & $$$$

yup... i'm going to make noise at Looi's when they come back from company trip. tell me no problem, but yet boon siew confirm yesterday there's problem with charging

害得我好惨

How is your bike

my ride is still at boon siew now... confirmed got problem with charging system but they still need to check whether is rectifier or alternator coil, also reported the handlebar alignment issue. think can check out today ba.

luckily all can claim under warranty

wow... heng la..

i think mine might have the battery issue. but i see my charging still ok le.

because something i start my bike the how meter would restart again but not everytime it like once awhile.

 

just like this

 

 

i think should be battery issue just like anodise57 said

[anodise57]

that time.. i change the batt... symtom disappeared liao.. heheheh

[kenshi1777]

Bro, for euro and jdm version. will there be any price different in maintaining.

Like euro version parts will be more expensive than jdm? Or both are the same?
