    Default wow 3rd battery !

    hey ricky , is the r-t se5 , full of the electrical stuff ( radio , communication with other cycles , auto air ride , extra light packages , and or fog lights , --- parachute ? ) o.k. the last one I just added , I am not sure of what cause or reason of all the battery failures , I do not have the radio or convenience packages on our 2012 , so I am wondering if this is a good thing in the power management of the battery ( question #2 , all who might know , if you have the air ride system , will the pump activate while the cycle is off ? like a car`s air bag system , will pump up if it sense`s lower level in the rear ? ) question # 3 is it hard to re-roll the parachute at each red light ... o .k. that is me again ...

    No panel removal to jump start. Just lift the seat. The jumper posts are there. Now to change out the battery on the other hand. A bunch of panels come off.

    Ask Bob to bring a voltmeter with him. After he has changed out the battery. Check the system voltage while running. Should be around 14V. Just to confirm the charging system is working properly.
    Bob if you read this, please bring voltmeter and any tools necessary to do the job please. If we don't have it I will go out and get.

    Thumbs up

    FinlessBob............Man does he work fast, knows exactly
    whats happening, and came to my rescue and installed a new
    Yuasa battery.

    Only needed to take off just the one main left side panel.

    So thankful for helping me get back on the road!

    You are the best Bob

    The battery that was removed most likely had a bad cell
    cuz when he put a load on it dropped to 5 volts

    One of the connections was loose, so that could have
    contributed, but since I had over 3 years on this battery,
    safer to install new!

    Going riding today.
    Have the battery being charged to 100% first DYD9sHsAQ0SrqK1oBVpi8A.jpg
    and now I know how to charge her as well. Thanks Bob and others
    on Spyderlovers for your help!
