I know I saw someone have in mentioned in a thread somewhere...but could not find it when I searched.

What are you guys using when trying to hide a small batt up in a custom tail or what not?

Thanks, DZ

The daytona 675 uses a 7amp hour 12 volt. The thing is roughly 2 inches deep, 3 inches tall and 6 inches across. Read - fucking tiny. But you don't get a lot of chances to make the bike start with a battery that small haha.

 

[DougZ]

Wow, that is small. I though I recalled seeing somewhere someone showing a small dirtbike battery?? Any ideas?

check yuasa's website. They've got a downloadable pdf that lists every dimension of every battery they make.

Sully used a battery from a 250 scooter. See if his thread tells you details of the serial #'s

Maybe that is what I was thinking of.

i have a 4ah in my chop, works fine, and it's TINY, but it won't run an electric start, just so ya know. i'm gonna rig up a banshee350 magneto on the damn thing and run it battery-less.

 

[dogbreath]

Yeah you should have at least a 7ah battery for an electric start

 

[skr00zloose]

and only if your bike is in good shape and fires easily. if you have to hold the button a bit to get it to fire, you'll kill a 7ah battery in under a minute, easy.

just mod up a kickstart, don't be a wussy, lol.

 

[dogbreath]

I would if I knew how, skr00z, the only kickstart I've ever touched was my snowmobile's

 

[skr00zloose]

real bikes have kickstarts and points/ condensors damnit, lol.
though, i just swapped out my points for a cut up toyota 22r distributor and a chevy HEI module. damn thing actually idles now. whoda thunk it.

don't know if i'd really want to kickstart a newer high compression 4 banger. that might could hurt a bit.

 

[dogbreath]

The snowmobile I'm looking at has a button start anyway D:

 

[skr00zloose]

psssshhhh... sissies....

people all wussified by modern technology, lol

back in my day..... in the snow....... uphill both ways......blah blah blah, lol

 

[dogbreath]

I can kick start when I need to It has a backup kickstarter. I choose not to, though

You're the one who said you're afraid to kickstart a modern I4, hahaha

 

[skr00zloose]

cuz i bout broke my ankle again kickstarting a cb750 last night, and that's not much of a motor compared to modern stuff.

 

[dogbreath]

haha

Oh I have a scooter here that's got a kickstarter... what a boring way to start it

 

[dogbreath]

bump starting is way cooler

 

[spyder]

Im using a battery from an 03 ZX9 in my thing I call a bike

 

[chandler]
