KevtheRev Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hi people , Does anyone have experience of running an LC with no battery ? I'd only need to run front and rear lights . I read somewhere years ago that this can be done by fitting a resistor between the battery leads , but I can't find any info . Cheers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hmm , maybe I'll keep the battery . I got a Giuliari seat off a mate and I think if I get one of the gel batteries I can hide it under the seat hump . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted December 6, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 6, 2014 sorry no ideas regarding the lc. It depends on the charging system, field coil or mag also need to take into account the TCI requirements.I would go with the Gel IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YPVS TONE Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Quote from the workshop manual " Note: If the machine is run with the battery disconnected the increased voltage across the alternator terminals will rise, causing damage to the regulator/rectifier unit or to the alternator windings" Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Thanks guys , this bike , while mostly complete , has been a basket case for years . I've newly reconditioned barrels and new pistons ready but have to get a crankshaft and a fuel tank . Does anybody make a fibreglass or plastic tank for these as good second hand ones seem to be as rare as hobby horse's shite ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
