mojobanana Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Stop laughing, I have a flat battery I have a charger, etc. and fully accept that I won't be going anywhere on two wheels today (best take my boots off then). But, I need a socket set to get the battery tray out of the bike (!) and I don't have one. Anyone know if it's possible to get the leads onto the battery without having to open the entire bike up? If not, I'll have to suck it up and go and get myself a basic socket set (any recommendations welcome). Cheers folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojobanana Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 I don't have an optimate, but I have got a charger. I've plugged that in. I feel I'm not clever enough to own a motorcycle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsisterbiker Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 i hope your hurtied moterbike gets betterer soon and apparently halfords professional are pretty good and not expensive. they've got a lifetime guarantee on em too.even though you don't need a socket set now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojobanana Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thanks bigsis All fixed now. I went to check on it and started up all fine. Couldn't leave it on charge because I have to use an extension and I couldn't close my back door with that out. I'll just have to remember to pop it on charge for a couple of hours every few days.

Stu Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 just hope your battery is ok jo the cold can get to it really quickly and it wont hold a charge hence why us summer riders keep them on an optimate just hope your lucky and dont need a new battery good idea charging it every few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
