Batteries all pulled and resting for the winter

[motohorseman]

I pulled the batteries from most of the "toys". Last year I have great luck connecting them all together and keeping them charged, hopefully it works again this year -



I don't suggest this method if any of the batteries are "suspect" or if they are of different types.

The CBR1100XX is the only motorcycle I have with the battery still in it, when weather allows, I'll ride!

I'm curious what vehicles you have called "Peaches" and "Madass" ?

Well, the Madass is a Madass -



(It's for sale, <$500)

And Peaches, well, far left -

If you have *any* ethanol content in your fuel, don't forget StarTron.

I'm a HUGE fan of the Yamaha product -

Top tier Ethanol fuel defense, Concentrated formula, continuous use treat rate of 1 oz to 3 gallons of gasoline, storage treat rate 1 oz to 1 gallon of gasoline (provides 12 months of protection), no other formula provides this level of ethanol fuel corrosion protection for metals and aluminum fuel system components, an alcohol-free formula that helps to prevent fuel oxidation, phase separation, gum and varnish build up.

Designed for continuous use, our special formulation not only stabilizes all types of gasoline but provides superior metal corrosion protection from the high levels of Ethanol sulfate salts in today's fuel & provides advanced metal protection for future E-15 fuel. No other formula provides this level of ethanol fuel corrosion protection for metals and aluminum fuel system components, an alcohol-free formula that not only locks in fuel potency but helps  to prevent fuel oxidation, phase separation,  gum and varnish build up. Good practice is to treat the un-used fuel no later than 7 days after purchase, best practice is to treat fuel at time of purchase.  rmulation, product labels will be a running change

Who would have guessed? 

Looks like fun to me.................doesn't look like there's much room for a battery on it............

Yea Steve, tell us more about Madass..... looks like the gas is carried in the frame. 50cc? 125cc?  It looks to be street legal, is it fun?

How long have you had it? Why sell?  etc, etc....(Hint: Xmas is around the corner)

Gas is carried in frame, yes to street legal, there are 50 and 125 variants, and I believe a 500cc version was announced a while back, not sure if it ever came to fruition or now. Huge modder community, as you might imagine.

I rode one for a couple months on loan from a friend when I didn't have other wheels.

Unfortunately his was plagued with problems, though they generally have good reputations. I think his would have qualified under a 'lemon law' if he had pursued it in time. He bought it from a very disreputable shop (he found out later), so that could explain it.

Another friend of his was using it when in from out of town when 'something' happened to it... Seems that he was going about 40 but with the clutch held in had downshifted to 1st coming up to a stop... and the clutch suddenly released? Perhaps?

No more worky.

Never diagnosed.

Anyways. Fun little machines! not quite enough pep stock, but room to have fun for sure. Think of it as the best scooter you ever rode. Some like to call it 'the most pure embodiment of a motorcycle ever made'. It is a standard.

You look like you're super organized.
You make me sick.
