Re: Just bought a 2004 R1150R...need battery tender recommendations

The tender is a good idea as it seems with the three R1150R we have the clock drains the system enough that sitting for a month leaves the Battery low. I was just about to say that I'll have to ride it every day until I get the tender...but it looks like a lot of rain this week. Not that I'm a land...

Lead-acid batteries have different forms and require different chargers to get the most life out of them. "Regular" lead-acid batteries have a replenishable liquid (acid electrolyte) in them, and also include some of the maintenance-free types. Other maintenance-free types have gel electr...

Thank you all. I finally looked at it and it's lead acid. So I think I'm good to go. Appreciate the recommendations!

Thanks, Buckster. That is actually a really good thought. I am an SBDC Director, so very local-business oriented. My nearest dealer is about an hour away, so not exactly super local, but that's still a worthwhile venture!

Ah, yes...I probably need to know more about the battery, don't I?

Thank you both!

Just bought a 2004 R1150R...need battery tender recommendations

Howdy Folks! As the title says, I just bought a 2004 R1150R last Friday. After riding home 60 miles, I think I might be in love. I've had several motorcycles...have probably logged around 80,000-100,000 miles over the years (I'm 51 years old). My only other current bike is a 1981 Honda GL1100, which...

Re: Stretched R1150R

Entertaining enough, I suppose, but it's too bad they had to screw up that beautiful R1150R.

That bike would tour the Americas before they chopped it in half. Now it's barely fit to go around the block!
