Battery charging Africa Twin CRF

Post by grahew »

As the battery is stashed away in a battery box has any body managed to connect up a lead to a Optermiser? If so can you let me know how (thumbs)

I've wired my optimiser lead direct to the battery. There's a nice little chanel then to run the lead up to the underside of the seat where it meets the tank. Just remove the 'toolbox',pull out the battery. All done in 15 minutes.

Have one on my S10 and have plugged in a extension with cigarette lighter socket under seat for heated back pad and slime pump, accessory socket fuses usually blow otherwise :angry:
