    New Honda Transalp

    Looks like a really lekker boney! I am mindful, however, of those of us who really (ad)venture across the borders, and whether these new bikes are truly applicable in terms of fixing a problem? Especially electronic management systems are a lot more complicated, although, I know, very resilient...

    1150GS Battery type and specs

    Thanks Chris, appreciated. Any advice on these new Lithium batteries one can now buy...seem to have positive reviews? Just checked the cabling on my boney: the cables seem quite thick, upon measurement I would say they are 4 gauge (about 5.6mm outside insulation diameter). The earth cable lug...

    Die horlosie zero normaalweg nie, nee. Maar, partykeer, as die enjin swaar trek op 'n lang koue start, ja!

    My flikkers maak ook so, veral as ander elektriese gooidjies aan is (heated grips, ensv). Maar snaaks dat die noodflikkers normaal werk, op enige tyd (niks vinnige-geflikkery nie)??

    As ek die battery ge-charge het op Optimate, draai hy die enjin mukluk en ABS etc is goed. Selle storie as die battery nuut is...maar na 6 maande raak hy moeg.

    Dankie, gaan weer my kabels deurgaan maar lasten keer sien ek hulle lyk baie goed.

    1150GS Battery type and specs

    Interressant ja. My navorsing dui ook aan dat 'n UPS battery gemaak is om 'n konstante, redelike laag laai op hom te hanteer, maar 'n "cranking" battery gemaak is om hoë KRAG na, byvoorbeeld, 'n starter to gee. Die battereie is anders gekonstrukteer is hulle nie? Ek wonder hoekom sekere...

    Hi Bear, Will be checking the charging rate of the bike today and see what numbers I get. Maybe the alternator needs too be serviced??

    1150GS Battery type and specs

    As an addition, BMW quoted me a LOT for an OEM battery, I’m not sure if this will solve the problem? Has anyone bought a battery from BMW? Will this be any better or worse than a more expensive battery available elsewhere on the market? I’m prepared to spend money to get the right battery.

    1150GS Battery type and specs

    Howzit I did do a search before I started this so please excuse me if this has been discussed before. My R1150GS seems to, pretty soon after the new battery is fitted, start it’s usual story again: it won’t initialise the ABS properly (necessitating a roll start after I’m moving to get it...
