Surprised these tuners don't have feature for this like ignition modules, to skip firing for a revolution, or to spark and blow it off?

 

I have the S&S Easy start 551 cams and love them........with the Lithium Iron battery this starts RIGHT up!

 

There is a saying if you cant dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with BS

 

I wonder if I'll still get 7 years out of my batteries with the bigger engine. I'll be starting with brand new battery, it died moving it.

 

I have a nice set of ACR heads off my RG I'll sell ya!

Friend of mine is running EZ cams in his SG with ACR heads, like was mentioned just turn the acr off in the tune. Compression releases have failed before, both ACR and manual. I don't recall any EZ start cams coming apart. Many OEMs have used a mechanical compression release on the cams, seems to be a Japanese thing

too soon?

 

Unfortunately, yes.

 

I was under the impression this was about a 103" build and not batteries.

Now derailed into a battery thread? What gives.

7 Years? I think you said you could get 20 years out of a battery.

Buying a brand new battery? I'm wondering if you going for a OEM Harley Battery or an aftermarket one with higher CCA?

Probably should get new battery cables also.

 

He was / is the reason 2 threads were shut down yesterday....

 

And they where his own threads. Hither, tither, and yonder; all over the spectrum.

I have had success with Big Crank Batteries, they are manufactured in the same place as the Harley Batteries. Some call them funny batteries but they function the same as Harley batteries as long as you use the provided spacers.

I use battery tenders on all my bikes that sit, keeps the batteries charged and in good shape. Some say it is not good to do that, I have not had any issue in 10 or so years doing it.

I do the same for my boat, which sits unused for long periods of time in the garage up at my summer cottage. Never an issue. I get 7 or so years out of that battery, of course it is a marine battery so something may be different.

As fo using a battery maintainer and not knowing the condition of the battery so you may get stuck out in the boonies, I carry a jump pack just in case.

I also test the batteries regularly to make sure they are in good shape. Don't need to take them out and get them load tested if you have the correct equipment.

I have one of these and while not the most accurate, it serves good enough to know if the battery will last 3, 7, or 20 years.
