The battery I took out of my bike is an energizer. Walmart has the identical wet cell 18 lb battery for 50.00. However, I can get a sealed battery for 97.00 but the terminals are slightly different. So, I thought I'd ask someone with experience. -
Hi I'm sure some owners have already fitted a HiD light bulb kit to their bikes. I made the attempt today. I wired the red and black ring terminals directly to their respective battery terminals. When I turned the key on....nothing happened. No light on High or Low I checked the kit fuse and refitted the Halogen bulb it is fine. Any suggestions? Thanks TH -
I checked my battery several times during the week to confirm it’s good . Reading is 12.5+, the battery is two years old. Somewhere in the “links” , I’m not sure I got this right, there should be no AC across the battery terminals. To have AC is an indicator of a failed reg/rect unit. Your comments would be appreciated.

I recently had an E1 code pop up on my onboard air compressor computer screen. I went over the old threads and read them. I wanted to thank FREEBIRD for the detailed explanation. AND IT WORKED!!!! I wound up pulling the connector off and cleaning the terminals with contact spray. Still no success. Then I turned the connector in a clockwise manner, BAM. It worked perfectly. THANKS MUCH, THIS SITE IS AWESOME, Steve

After finding the glass fuses falling out because the spring clips were brittle and snapping apart I decided to do an upgrade. I purchased a small fuseblock off of Ebay and set to work. I mounted the panel on the airbox cover. The fuse wiring was lengthened to form a harness. he harness is long enough that the cover can be removed and the air filter serviced without removing the fusebox. I used 90 deg/ terminals on the blade connectors to keep the finished profile narrow. The original main fuse has been replaced with a 40 amp Maxi-fuse and holder. All connections were crimped in and touched with a bit of solder. I also installed 4 gauge battery cables. The plug-in ground and main fuse got moved to the top of the battery. The extra fuse at the top of the panel is for the new driving lights. End result I feel came out excellent. I now find minimal voltage drops, and the bike starts easily both cold and hot. Total expenditure on this project was about $75.00. Labor was probably around 40-50 man hours. I chased all connectors and spent time cleaning and greasing terminals. I cleaned all terminals with CLR and then flushed with water. The grease is NYK corrosion preventative compound. Pictures attached of fuses and wiring. Notes: The Bosch fuse and wiring on the LH fairing are for the driving lights. The plug next to the fuel fill is for the battery tender. It is accessible from the fuel door without pulling any panels. JB
