Just new to forum so not sure which forum this should go in but recently started a blog (Coxy's blog) and put a couple of videos in it to demonstrate what frustration sounds like ... and eventually.... what relief sounds like too.

UPDATE: well live and learn... just found out I cant add a link (I think coz I am new) so will try this one instead

 

Link won't open for me.....

 

Isn't that frustrating?

 

Say what?

 

haha .. oh yeah ... apparently ... not only am I hopeless at fixing bikes... I am pretty crap at internet forum stuff too

 

what the hell are you doing with that wire thing, all I see are sparks?

 

Yeah my mechanical skills are about as good as my internet skills... I am learning lots of new do's and don'ts on both fronts ...

In short, (ha ha) the Battery has been on trickle charge for 10-12 hours... this was the moment when everything was supposed to work ... and in frustration I tried hooking the trickle charger back up with one hand holding the phone/camera... hence the sparks

The second video and the blog (link is in the first video but I think you have to view in youtube to see it) explains the saga and the solution in detail..

 

Did you ever think to turn off the charger prior to hooking it up?????

Do us all a favor, in the future tell us what happened, and how you fixed it. Save your Cecil B. DeMille skills for another furum.

 

you don't own a harley, you own a v-rod

 

I'm frustrated watching you jack-up your bike by doing stupid pet tricks w/the charger. You might want to hire your maintenance & service work, bud.
