Author Message   Bosgarage57 Posted on Monday, September 17, 2012 - 02:06 pm:        Just got my 06 uly, has an acid battery in it and dont like it laying down like that. Went out to start it yesterday, clicked a few times then turned over, the trip and clock had reset, so Im thinking the battery is about shot. I was looking at going with the Big Crank http://www.batterymart.com/p-Big-Crank-ETX14-Batte ry.html?Category_Code=buell-xb12x-ulysses-1200cc-b attery Anyone have any other suggestions? called HD and they have one.....for $114.   Uly_man Posted on Monday, September 17, 2012 - 02:32 pm:        It is not the battery it is the bike. I fitted a new HD battery to my 06 bike and it was still the same. I still have the old HD battery, 6 years old now, and it is still holds a 12.5v charge after standing for 3 months. I have even "jumped" a 3 Litre BMW car with it in the past? I tried everything to no effect. The OEM battery is 200CCM. Get a 220-250CCM battery or one, like the new Li-Ion type, that will hold a 13.5v charge. The battery MUST be a Gel or dry type as they sit on there side.   Bosgarage57 Posted on Monday, September 17, 2012 - 03:05 pm:        the big crank is a sealed maint free battery. 1 year warranty. Im thinking it has to be something with the battery for it to reset the trip and clock like it has been. I agree it needs a bigger CCM.   Dtaylor Posted on Monday, September 17, 2012 - 05:00 pm:        A lemon, a penny and a galvanized nail.

Original was replaced with stator/VR. There are several threads about these batteries under different labels... iirc they are made by DEKA East Penn ? http://www.dekabatteries.com/   Spike240sx Posted on Monday, September 17, 2012 - 10:18 pm:        Hey Bos! Glad you found Badweb! I just got a AGM sealed battery for the 1125R Locally for $65. It's am exact OEM Replacement. Im sure they have the same one for a Uly. Got it here, https://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&q=battery+se rvice+knoxville+tn&fb=1&gl=us&hq=battery+service&h near=0x885c162246ce42a9:0x7bea92dac4f534c5,Knoxvil le,+TN&cid=0,0,1394455259224015148&ei=i9lXUPfBPMfq 0gGLl4CADA&ved=0CKMBEPwSMAA   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, September 17, 2012 - 10:43 pm:        Factory-original AGM in my 28k mile '06. Seeing as how it's still behaving itself...IF it quits, the same will go back in.   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 - 10:32 am:        Shorai Lithium Iron battery in both 06 and 07.   Teeps Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 - 11:46 am:        I've had one of these YUASA YTX14-BS Maintenance Free Battery in my '06 Uly since summer of '06. (knock on wood...) http://www.amazon.com/YUASA-YTX14-BS-Maintenance-F ree-Battery/dp/B000WJX4BQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1 347982958&sr=8-4&keywords=ytx14ah-bs   Bosgarage57 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 - 12:04 pm:        Thanks guys, (Hey NICK!) I ordered the Big Crank last night....will see how it goes.   99savage Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 - 08:43 pm:        Got an Interstate one yesterday ~ $80 incl. 8% tax. P.I.T.A. to install: - The terminals are not tapped; has clever little cages that trap square nuts. - The faces of the terminals not flush w/ the face of the case. - Had to use lead washers to make up the difference, which of course made the bolts too short.   Bosgarage57 Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 - 09:07 pm:        99savage............does this user name mean you have a suzuki savage?   Swampy Posted on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 - 09:49 pm:        That Yuasa is NIK, NIK! It will not work~! It contains LIQUID! When you tip that thing on its side there will be a portion of the plates exposed to air and it will leak! Make sure it is an AGM, not an AGM technology   99savage Posted on Wednesday, September 19, 2012 - 07:56 pm:        Bosgarage57 99savage............does this user name mean you have a suzuki savage? Naw, means I like the fine old rife made in Chicopee Falls, MA. - Made for over a hundred years. - Pick up & you can imagine rich guys in their Adirondack deer camp, drinking good rye & fixing prices }   Tootal Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 10:55 pm:        I love my 110S Silhouette rifle. 1 1/16th of an inch, five shot group at 200 yards out of the box. Oh yeah, we were talking batteries. Sorry, got distracted. Uh, I had a battery in the Jeep that took me to the shooting range!   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, September 21, 2012 - 08:20 am:        Those Savage 1917 .32 semi autos were some of the most beautiful and un-necessarily complicated handguns ever built. It's a miracle they work, but they do. I'm terrified at the thought of ever having to take one apart.   Bosgarage57 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2012 - 11:49 am:        got my big crank battery and am very happy with it so far, no mo problems.   Tjocksteffe Posted on Friday, September 21, 2012 - 12:15 pm:        I'de like to know why a aged engine like this don't have a kick start??

It's geared lower and cranks the motor over the way it should be.   Nookster Posted on Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - 06:04 pm:        Bosgarage57, Hows that Big Crank battery working for you? Any problems with the fit? Thinking about ordering one.   Bosgarage57 Posted on Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - 07:36 pm:        no problems, for the price I think its great. Only had it for what 2 weeks now, not sure on longevity of it, but so far so good.   Arkaybee Posted on Wednesday, October 03, 2012 - 12:37 am:        Has the battery replacement solved the clock reset issue?   Bosgarage57 Posted on Wednesday, October 03, 2012 - 08:39 am:        sure did!   Arkaybee Posted on Sunday, October 07, 2012 - 09:47 pm:        Went with the Shorai L-Ion from Racecrafters USA. Very happy with the service and the product. Very light battery and solved the clock reset, it seems.   Rdkingryder Posted on Monday, October 08, 2012 - 09:26 pm:        I just installed the Big Crank from Battery Mart, $72 including shipping, 230 cca, wow! The Yuasa I was looking at came in at 200 cca. I went with the bigger cca and glad I did. It no longer does the stall cranking mid way. Works great.   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Tuesday, October 09, 2012 - 11:33 am:        http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-battery/li- ion-motorcycle-battery/shorai-vs-ballistic-li-ion- motorcycle-battery.htm   Nookster Posted on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 09:41 pm:        Just dropped a Big Crank in also. Works great.   Panhead_dan Posted on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 10:06 pm:        Uly_dude Posted on Friday, September 21, 2012 - 03:24 pm: If you guys want that uly to turn over faster, you need to buy one of these; http://www.ebay.com/itm/120833098926?ssPageName=ST RK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 . It's geared lower and cranks the motor over the way it should be. This post right here should not be overlooked. I'm seriously thinking about putting one of these starters on the spare parts shelf.
