Quick question: Battery on my ducati died (stupid cold + high compression motor = repeated failed attempts at starting the bike in vain) and I heard from a dude on campus that I can take the battery out and have autozone charge it?

Before I take out a 150+ dollar battery and have it raped by some knuckle dragger, am I going to be ok doing this? Or am I going to have to look for someone with a trickle charger (I can't order one since I have to leave from canada in like a week and have to ride her home for garage time).

 

buy a battery tender, trickle charge it, and put it back in, and try again.

 

Yeah, I bought my trickle charger from Auto Zone.

 

Tried googling, is there a special amp designation I should be looking for? (I didn't get a manual with the bike and the forums are coming up with nothing)


Nvm, autozone charged it for free and perfectly. Pulled the bike into my girls apartment and let her warm for a little bit and just now rode her home. DAMN, 18 degrees is NOT pleasant to the balls.

 

Damn I sat on my bike the other night in the Garage leaning and making Bike sounds.... I miss riding..

*used to ride to D.C. Everyday M-F 2005 ZX-6r 636*

 

for future reference.
you're gonna want to trickle it on 2A
but the charger itself should be able to handle 10A

 

take a ride a little? I did today. it was hella cold but my winter gears isnt bad and gloves suck it isn't for winter. I need winter gloves anyone recommended?

 

Gentlemen. This is what victory looks like.

The frame and engine will part ways soon.

 

Actually, victory is the picture I have in my mind as I shut her in her new heated 2 month home.
