Seems to be battery related. The battery was not putting out the correct voltage, and needed a good strong charge at a higher than normal voltage. The battery fully charged should put out 13 volts (yes, NOT 12), but seems to be self-discharging at a rate of .1 to .2 volts per day. Normal Yuasa batteries of this type (the MF line) should only self-discharge at the rate of about 1/300 of a volt. The good thing about these batteries, other than the maintenance free design, is that they are very immune to self-discharge, and can be neglected for 6 months and still start the bike fine.
I am negotiating with Yuasa now on how to get a replacement, since mine is only six months old. -----Original Message----- From: nicholas.threader [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 8:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Followup on hard starting problem Hi Jon , any news on your starting problem . atb Nick T --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
