Yamaha YZF-R6

[edmundino]

Got my R6 07 back in march 2007..

Have not change or charge the batt ever..

Used the bike mainly for track only...

Mileage 5k plus only..

i believe its due to the High RPM usage that keep the batt life up..

Cause i think the alternator on the bike needs a certain RPM to churn more energy back to the Batt..

But i could be wrong..

to play it safe i always have a spare batt along when hiting the track..

 

Energizer, Duracell or Eveready? "AAA"s or "AA"s ?...... Hee hee......

Hmm..im prayin guys haha but my 2nd oem batt seems to be better den my 1st as probaly at times my work place is further so i get to ride further nowdaes and lik soem of the chaps here pointed tat longer distance with higher RPM charges and keeps the battery better. But anywaes to me if every year change one batt is still not considered expensive to me as it is a yearly affair so i take it as yearly maintainence thingy or so.

I'm 9 mths into riding my 08 and this batt lifespan prob is making me nervous after my previous encounters with magnetic coil problem with my CBR1000RR last time.. :faint:

 

Bro dun worry our Yammies dun have the magnetic coil issue.. or none so far i had heard of haha~~Dun worry~~~

Cheers~~

I think the problem in short batt lifespan is due to riding patterns maybe??

 

I use my bike mainly for work which is 10 days in a month..

 

Distance is from Paya Lebar to Simei Ave..mainly on the PIE.

 

I also use the bike to meet frens and makan and talk cork sessions..

 

I HATE going to town area cos that is where the bike overheats and the fan turning which eats up the battery..

 

Everytime the fan turns, its not the heat that bothers me..its the battery!!

 

I frequent JB petrol sessions via 2nd link..

 

I practice at PG a number of times..Enter Wld(switch off and push if jam), exit Tuas.

 

In summary, I try not to get stuck in traffic..I prefer long or short trips without much traffic..

 

I hope my batt lasts longer..

[Barongan78]

my bike's batt stil going strong after 1yr n 2 mths...

use mainly for transport to n from work... ocassionally for track...

[Wayang]

anyway.. i think its best to give the batt a good charge once in a while.. keeps the batt nice n healthy.. esp impt for those whom seldom ride their bike..

yup..agree!!! Thinking of charging my batt 2moro..at work..

[Wayang]

the onli downside is its rather troublesome to remove the batt from the bike.. so i can take it upstairs to my hse to charge..

 

i ever tot of lowerin an extension power cord down to the void deck but then i wld have to stay wif the bike.. and normally i wld let my batt charge at least overnight to give it a good charge..

[Wayang]

ok guys.. i juz took out my batt for chargin n i snapped a pic cos we all noe how we like lookin at pics

its beri simple realli..

 

1. remove the batt from the bike

2. connect the positive n negative

3. plug in the power n turn on.. red light indicates chargin in progress

4. monitor the voltage wif a multimeter

5. once the batt is charged the light wil turn green and it wil be in trickle charge mode

hi..

Just to share its been 13mths i use my bike for commute, to work and for occassionally track. and my timing for work is like 12noon thomson to bugis, with abit of traffic. my fan will be on every journey. specially on a red light. my battery still ok.

[krazyfist]

got it from speedway though.. but wat r u looking at ? bro here all say spec wise 08 and 09 is same.. except rim for my blue color bike as the rim is silver compare to 08 should be black.. correct me if i am wrong..

 

oooo ok then...

mmm...

thanx for the advise..

how much speedway selling u?

[NaRuTo13]

oooo ok then...

mmm...

thanx for the advise..

how much speedway selling u?

machine price?

 

otr about 22.5k.. so with loan interest sum up to about 23.x k..

 

u can try asking though.. not too sure u can get that price or not too.. cos that time was so called my dad friend relative shop.. anyway dun quote me on that for the price..

 

would be good u can tell me what price they quote u too.. cos i duno how much they selling now mah.. plus that time when i ordered 09 yet to reach sg..

Lamer, Wayang, Ice Purple...u guys have battery lifespan problem..juz wanna check..In this scenario..what is your action?

 

1) U came to a parking lot with the engine running hot(no surprise rite?)..juz as u stop to park..the temp read 101'c and the radiator fan starts to turn..what is your action?

 

Do you juz kill the ignition(everything off) and let the air cool the bike or u stop the engine running but let the ignition on and wait till the fan stop before killing the ignition?

 

 

I'm 9 mths into riding my 08 and this batt lifespan prob is making me nervous after my previous encounters with magnetic coil problem with my CBR1000RR last time.. :faint:

i'll juz turn off the bike wif the key.. as long as the engine is not running.. it will start to cool off.. so i dun see the need to use the fan to cool off those few degrees..

 

same as wayang too...air cool will do, dont need the fan as the engine is not running any more

 

ok guys.. i juz took out my batt for chargin n i snapped a pic cos we all noe how we like lookin at pics

Where to get the charger? How much? What to look for when buying charger?

[spiderman]

Correct me if i am wrong but i guess those using orignial headlights will have lesser batt lifespan.

[icepurple]

if its the headlight tat cost my battery to die faster, i sure change my light bulb.
