Good evening everyone,
I can write you I have a problem for you because I have done a lot of research and I was a little dry.
I have a 1200 Sportster 2004 R for some months now with 6250 miles all round as this little machine has rolled (5000 miles in 4 years, I let you make the annual mileage ...), that is not my problem I use this bike almost every day especially to go to work 9 miles to go and 9 miles back it is true that to recharge a battery that is not top.
I recently had some concern with the original battery (I thought the problem came from there) as soon as I leave the bikes for some days without rolling see some hours at boot time I met the contact,I push on the starter he made a turn and stops a few seconds the engine starts thus avoid me down at the roadside I decided to change my battery, on the advice of some person, I ordered a battery (a YUASA anyway) , I met then the shipper (with an Optimat charger) as indicated in the notice of the battery is in the rules and again she repeated exactly the same (at a price of 107 US dollars battery that makes me a little crazy).
I think the starter but it has 6250 miles I doubt, or more likely the alarm empty the battery.
I measured the battery while ago I was a 12,75V while when I climbed it 1 month ago it was 12,95 V, I even control the load engine running multitester turning around 14,30 to 14,40 V.
I also specifies that everything is completely electric home and clean.
Is there a relay start on a Sportster 2004 (I was on a XS 650)?
Some of it you had a similar problem or an idea because I did not want to push the bike (I've already done with a 500 XT Yamaha well it's very long and end your over arms, then I guess even with the Sportster.
thank you for your reply.
Vincent.
PS: My first crash since I, I missed it ....:wall
