Hi have a tiger 2011xc 30000km for 1 year ago and did something like 1000miles at weekend time. During week I am using a battery maintenance charger. On this year many times I had problem on start. My first action it was to change battery yuasa YTX16-BS but twice when I went to buy a new one the local dealer tested and said that battery is perfect. He wants to sell but is honest... When I start from home no problems ever. Battery is full as regulator shows. Many times after running like 30miles if engine switch off inespected like for example if I use the stand while not in neutral gear I have problems to restart. Up to the moment I did not remember that happened when switch off properly. Trying to restart, the noise of the coil and start motor is there but nothing. If I insist then level of panel screen start to disappear more and more. Then I have to stop, switch off tiger and have a coffee for 5 minutes. Believe is needed from 5 to 10minutes. Go again to tiger and is like new!!! Arriving home, connect to regulator and in seconds battery is full again. I know that I have to wait for the fuel pump cycle to conclude when to start, and I wait until no noise. Any one had similar issue ? Do I have to replace battery just to see ? What is your advice ? Buy a new 2018 model ? Antonio
I had an issue with my radiator leaking coolant. An original radiator it was out of my solution due to price and I fixed it with some weld. It seems ok but ... new is new. Any one have experience on those selling in eBay by 130£ ? It looks equal on screen . https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/283262854634
That’ll be fine, seller has a good eBay rating, it’s just reconditioned not new, it’ll be just the core that’s been replaced.
"Arriving home, connect to regulator and in seconds battery is full again." If it charges too quickly, this can be a symptom of a bad cell.
