i have a ctek and i love it, Ctek Multi 4.3

CTEK Multi US 4.3 - CTEK Battery Chargers

I use a CTEK. It's good for maintaining your battery when you aren't riding the bike. But if the battery is dead (i.e. from sitting for too long) it isn't designed to revive the battery to life.

How quickly do your batteries actually go flat? If you don't have a trickle charger, how long can your bike sit until it won't fire up again

Tough to say. Depends on age/condition of the battery. Longest I managed to get mine without it being on the charger was maybe 1.5 months max? But in my personal experience (others may vary) I prefer to keep mine hooked up if I know I won't be riding for 2 weeks or more simply because on older bikes, you don't want to compromise the charging system. Newer bikes should be okay (?) but again, it comes down to personal preferences. Some people absolutely do not give a shit and that's perfectly fine as well.

dukes: the higher models have a "recondition" mode which is supposed to desulphate batteries.

Wow, when I bought my CTEK Multi US 3300 on sale at Canadian Tire, none of these new/higher end chargers were even available on their website. :eek:

Looks like they've come a long way!

yeah, i went for the Multi US 4.3 because it has selectable modes for car, bike, winter storage, or recondition.

got it on sale at lordco during the trade show for like 60$ i think

Funny thing is, Daytona did not list any times.
I would assume regular business hours from 9:30-5

im down to go on saturday. i need to get my bike dyno'd for a street tune as well.

Call first to see how much the dyno is. Note that it does not say Free dyno runs.
I know in the past it there was some charge to do a run at other customer appreciation days.

If you went to PRS, don't forget to wear your shirt.

Saw a honda fit with a rs decal in the carter motorsports parking lot! Who is it lol

anybody go to the Daytona thing i was there around 1:30ish saw a lot of people with PRS shirts on

I was there for the 11am ride, great time, but a few too many ppl showing off on the street in front of the dealership coughblackzx14cough

hey guys, what kind of chain lube do you use? Newbie here, and need to lube up for the first time pretty soon.

Maxima chain wax is good, same with bel ray (not the blue tac)

I went to Daytona around 1:30/2:00 with the gf she bought pants and a jacket for $400. It felt weird to go to a bike event in a car lol,

I was there from about 10:30 to 1:00 teat rode the Zero S & the FZ-8.

Then went to Pacific and rode a Shiver.

It is still a toss up for the nest bike, the FZ-8 and the Shiver are still contenders next week I will try out a Street Triple.

Those are the three bikes on the short list.

For the Riders of RS:

Would you guys don apparels with RS name on it with customization?

say, beanies/hoodies or others?

just need some input as I'm doing product planning.

thanks.

i would wear hoodies for sure

would be cool if we had some riders corner specific stuff ;D

A zip up hoodie would be prime

who's doing the demo of triumphs?

Anyone familiar with lubing the clutch cable for an r6? Mine feels a bit stiff and could probably use some lube but i'm not sure how to do it.

ive never done it either but it looks super super simple. go youtube it
