KTM 1190 Adventure R Battery change

[@rogerthedodger5788]

Your narrative is hilarious!

I've been using motobatts for quite a few years. Definitely good batteries for the price and I will continue to use them.

[@motoktips3024]

just use a advanced charger that is hooked all the time. It will charge after it drops below a certain voltage then turn off and repeat when it drops again. Been using a CTEK XS 0.8 for a 3 years now and never had problems.Using the quick connect.

Thanks for the tip. I have kids. They touch everything. I hope to claim their life insurance.

Why can't I just drop bike at KTM dealer say put new battery....Pick up when bike is ready?? LOL

[@hawkslayers1]

[@PatrickFlinner]

No I m positive.

I have a 2015 Ktm 1290 super adventure and a 2016 Ktm 1290 super duke. I have changed both batteries one sames as oem and one the super duke a lithium but both bikes are very sensitive to cold they will not start at - 5 celcius and in Switzerland that temperature will hapen in winter, do your bike is sensitive to cold ?

[@PatrickFlinner]

john wayne mine requires an extra second cranking. That's it. Each bike has its own temperament. I did notice a difference In cranking between between the Yuasa and the motobatt. The latter is quicker in starting the bike. I suppose you could switch out the oil for winter from 10w50 to 5w40.

Hi sr, what is your opinion about those battery? after 19 months? Because I have Yuasa in my KTM Adventure and really I'm not happy with those battery.

[@PatrickFlinner]

Better than stock. Recommended.

@@PatrickFlinner Thank you sr

[@bkrsrky]

160 CCA? My YTZ14s died after 1 year and I am using the bike daily. Before that I had a Lithium for 4 years. I am thinking to buy a BSLI-10 or ATZ-10 which has 360A. it will probably be BS cuz ATZs are quite rare in Europe I guess

[@PatrickFlinner]

Batteries are a hit n miss. Just bought a lithium variant...damn electronics keep shutting down when cranking. I think its safer to stay with AGM or Gel until Musk perfects the Tech.

[@bkrsrky]

@@PatrickFlinner what model year is your bike?

[@PatrickFlinner]

@@bkrsrky it was a 2015

[@bkrsrky]

@@PatrickFlinner I asked cuz mine is 2014 with a hecktic SM17 starter motor that draws a lot during cranking. I seriously consider to upgrade it if the new battery wouldn't solve the problem...

Is that sock On your brake reservoir?

[@PatrickFlinner]

Yes, my son's baby sock. Reminds me not to ride like a hooligan....and prevents me from staring at the urine jar that is the brake fluid reservoir.
