Hello everyone from Russia! I apologize in advance, because I use Google translate.
Question about the built-in charging port in a motorcycle. Why is it needed? And can it be used to charge a motorcycle without removing a battery from it?
Inside the tank of the motorcycle I have only 1 orange electric wire and nothing else.
I also have a question on charging itself. My local dealer sold me for an extra $ 150 “super fast charge”, which should charge the motorcycle in 4 hours, instead of 8. My question is: is this really a special charge and is it faster than usual? Or did he cheat on me for $ 150 and sell me a standard charge, which should therefore be bundled with a motorcycle?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
You are lucky. 🙂 Yes, this is faster charger. I got 5Amps as 10Amps were not avaiable when I got it. How faster is it? You can use stopper and measure. 🙂 Please share result.
Yes - you can and should use side connector for charging. Not to uplug ornage cable. Some people report orange cable in some cases breakes up to wrong materials used for it in factory. So side connector is more safe.
Moreover I keep my charger installed permamently on plastic shelf under "tank" cover over battery. It fits great and I always have it with me on board if needed. If you use side connector - you do not need to remove unit and shelf for charging - just cables.
