- Start, warm up, and drive your motorcycle regularly otherwise you'll need to keep it maintained and charged in-between usage. Battery Tender Junior 800 does the job and gives different charging options for different applications.
Other tips:
- Key fob battery might need replacing.
- Know your PIN, just in case, if applicable.
- Starter wires may be loose, unplug and plug back in, if applicable.
- Many bikes have a charging wire tucked away someplace!
Yes I have a 2020 Softtail need to get a charger like that i do have that cable connection thanks for your help makes it so much easier to charge your bike
Excellent, I've been riding mine more often to keep it charged too. Take care
It’s called a tender… for the technical term… but it sucks if have a bad battery and you need to change it
Thank you.
This happened to me it run. I took around the block and when I parked it. I wouldn't start.
That's really inconvenient to happen. I now keep the Tender on it 90% of the time, no issues since doing this!
Thanks man getting my softail tomorrow and I know it’s original battery, going to Walmart and pick up charger
Right on my man, safe riding, enjoy!!
Thanks very much, very helpful😀
They do recommend you don’t use an extension chord. Messes with the amps
Agree, in this case, I was too far away from the wall with a dead battery, it worked, but probably best to eliminate the cords.
Very helpful!! Thank You
I appreciate the video man! I have a 21 Street bob and it’s sad the last month and I needed to find ways to charge it up. So hard to get access to jump start it.
Pigtails are awesome!
Thanks
I just had to charge my battery for the same reason. I bought an H-D trickle charger, and I had trouble finding the pigtail too.
How long did your battery last, 1-2 years? I've been riding more often, so not relying on the trickle too much, but will use it if sitting for more than a week or two. Take care!
@@julzzcan9490 - I bought the bike towards the end of 2021 and it still seems to be okay. I'm going to try keeping it on the trickle charger and see what I can get out of it. I've read that Lithium Batteries don't discharge like lead-acid batteries. So eventually I'll have to bite the bullet and pay the $250 it costs to buy one. Or maybe by the time I need one, the price will have come down.
Oh, and get a little jump box
How do you replace a battery CAP on the charger? Mine got burned up, have a replacement cap but the O ring is so small?
Not sure, can you find a different O ring someplace, they sell packs of that. I'm curious about it now...
@@julzzcan9490 they are the same size. I’m thinking of oiling it up and see how it goes or zip tie it up
@@h.w.6481 Yeah, I would rig it somehow, or go buy a new charger, if you have to.
i leave my pigtail hanging out lol
I dangled it behind a tube, and learned my lesson!
UA-cam ,look up your year and make model
Yeah, that's what people can do, I had the information, but didn't expect that to happen in a relatively new 2021, this happened in 2022. Take care
