Hi lads,
Do u know what is worth than a bike in bits in a garage ?


A bike which does not start on the side of the road for a stupid battery !!

So do u have the ref of a battery?

I have the battery but no indication on it. :-/

Cheers

Btw it is lashing rain

Dont know the ref Arnaud, but can you get a push start ?

Pete

I try the push but I don t have enough hill, an jaysus I forgot how heavy pushing a bike up hill was :-/
I think the battery was too low for a push start.
Can I jump lead the bike with a car battery without damage the electric ?

Just have look at the battery and I tested the battery and it is given 12.25 so just above the 12V.
So the starting should have been ok, I would think.

I am going to go back after dinner with the better half and see if I can bring susie back home.

I don't like my bike away of me like that.

Arnaud, you can use a car battery, but if i was you i would not connect to the bike battery. connect it straight to the wires and try that way.

12.25v should have worked. was it turning over at all ?

Pete

Arnaud, battery code is YTX9-BS Suzuki part no 33610-32C71

Thanks lads,
You know what I went back to work this evening with the misus, she was gladly bring me there.
We are now back with susie
I stuck the battery back in and give a good old easy start and she started first time.

I think I need to play more with the choke on cold weather, in my garage she start on the button without choke.
But maybe I should have it wide open for outside start?

Conclusion I will bring the easy start with me for a while just in case. I did like the 2 hours extra transport :-/

I will take not of the batterie reference, it might be handy.

Thanks a million again for all the help.

For the fork and all I need to remove the fairing and try like that, as to me my hand are in the same position to have the wheel straight however, the fairing seems to be going left.
As I am sure she felt on the ground some part might be bent.

I will check more this weekend.

Thank again

Do NOT use easy start..............they become addicted to it like a drug addict!

Just fix it!

I which to fix it defitely nothing worst than a motor whom does not start.
I need to work out how, I have few idea along the side the air filter in the bike might not be original one.
Which will cause too much air, and a too lean mixture to have a nice cold start.

This weekend if every goes to plan

Arnaud, whip your plugs out and see what colour they are. might help pin down the problem.
