Can you recharge safely via your tender lead and tender, if the batter got pretty low? (as tender wasnt attached) - Will it or can it cause damage to the bikes electrical components?
@TwoWheelRocco
@TwoWheelRocco 9 ай бұрын
Happy to help. Take a voltmeter and measure the volts, if it's like e 9 or 10 Volts. Yes you could use the tender to bring it back to life. If not, you have to charge it to a regular battery charger. it's will take a couple days with the tender. But yes, you could do it without damage. Thank you for all your support Vinny. Ride safe and have a great day. Let us know how it works out.

Just got my first bike, when removing the positive side he says to be careful not to touch the frame. Does he mean not to connect the positive to the frame via gabbing on to both? Or just to not let the two touch each other? Thanks!
@TwoWheelRocco
@TwoWheelRocco 3 жыл бұрын
Glad to help, what I meant was do not let the tool as you're tightening the positive terminal hit the frame that is grounded. It's good policy to hook up the positive first so you will not have none of those problems, Then your ground cable second if you can. And when removing, Remove the ground cable first then the positive and you will stay out of trouble. Any questions just ask. Thank you for your Sub Jerry. Forty Eight is a great Sportster. Ride Safe and have a great Holiday.

I would connect it to where it's was designed to be connected to. If you end up with a weak ground there's all sorts of problems that run with that. Stay with the original design you'll find you'll have less problems. Thank you for watching and your sub. Ride safe and have a great day.

It's kind a hard that way just to get to it.. Watch the video and if you like how I did it. Go for it.. Let us know how it works out. Just be careful. they're stating to move the ground so you'll have no problems. don't touch the frame with the tools when you're removing the positive first. It's not that hard. Wrapped the tool with tape and you know you can never ground the tool out.

I think they changed the tabs design over the years. I took precautions and put tape around it to prevent scratching. Re-secured my diagnostic plug to its bracket which was the entire reason to pull the cover off. thx
