my batt connectors had rusted solid and both the connectors were thickly caked in bluish white salt. its a size 7 yokohama just under a year old; no such probs on the original yuasa size 9. any idea wat the problem may be?

 

i just went to the shop, originally wanted to ask them help unscrew the connector bolt and just replace the bolt coz it had rusted solid and the teeth had worn smooth from the rust. i couldn remove it no matter how much wd40 i spray, and i tried using spanners and screw drivers and pliers. but they told me no way to save the batt, they had to break it off, use grinding stone to wear off the bolt head then knock it off my wire connector. so now i've got new yuasa size 7. strangely again a yuasa size 9 wont fit, yet the original batt is a yuasa size 9.

 

wats the prob with all that salt and rust, and would spraying wd40 help?

[chinggu]

after spraying wd40, try using sandpaper to sand it might help..

mech , the stock battery is ytz 10s . i think you can try a the yt12a-bs which is for busa . is only 12 mm taller then stock and the power rating is 175 compare to the stock 190 . think will last better then those 9 series

too late, i've already got a yuasa size 7 inside, not sure the model number.

 

and last year when i first change, i can tell u i saw myself how the yuasa size 10 is actually taller than the stock yuasa-honda size 10, same model number.

 

in any case i ran the yokohama size 7 for a year without probs, so shd be fine.

correct me if wrong.if i do recall....those white powder are actualy crystal form from the electron "jumping" over the AiR and due to high H2o content with our local air cause it to happen.again i could be wrong.

 

in any case,the common practice is to apply motor grade grease thinly over the battery terminal to prevent such thing to happen.

 

anyway,it quite interesting regarding the battery choice cos the work i went told me there are original ytz-10 battery available but with a higher price la.why not stick to original or up 1 size instead of down size?

 

as for the screen.u let me know lor.i nite time free 1(assume in town).

White powder just means corrosion. Sand down the terminal lugs to remove rust and corrosion or simply replace the lugs. Apply dielectric silicone grease in and around the connections and sufficiently tighten the screw. You will not get that problem again. Its a good idea to use the dielectric grease on all electrical connections of the bike including the spark plug cap to prevent corrosion. It can also prevent short circuit due to water.

 

Dielectric silicone grease available at SLT

dun mind i ask, which shop u go?

 

u make it sound like ur 600RR kena batt and rectifier and coil problem all at one go, and the mech claim "always happen to 600RR and R1"?

 

the only common prob wif 600RR we see so far is the original batt and the rectifier, but even that is one or the other, none of us kena both. superb1ke and myself changed batt and problem solved, and i think at least 2 (different) others so far reported rectifier.

 

perhaps u'd like a 2nd opinion at a shop that we can recommend?

1st advice. run far far away from that workshop.

2nd , if under waranty,go back to boon siew

3rd,if not,there are few workshop that can provide proper advice far better then point 1.

 

so far 600RR report MAJOR fault is....................."under power" !

hey guys heres the deal if i can get a minimum order of 10pcs for cbr600rr polo-t:

 

dri-fit polo T with up to 3 colours front and rear for up to $20.

 

thicker (better) dri-fit polo T with V-neck zipper with up to 3 colours for up to $25.

 

add $2 for personalized name. add $2 for embroidered logo on chest.

 

count yourself. how much are you all willing to pay maximum?

 

to clarify: you can have 3 colours behind and a fourth different colour on chest, because they count the colours by each "press"; meaning behind is one press they count how many colours, in front one press how many. so u can even have behind 3 colours in front another 3 different colours.

 

those with good resolution 'CBR', 'CBR600RR', 'Honda Wing' and 'HRC' logos can please post it up here so that i can take and print.

[mechwira]
