13.5 starting issues...

[gnd111]

I can't find room for a second battey and don't wanna deal with the issue like that anyways.  Can i just put a second base gasket on my bike or maybe some sort of spacer that TMH may sell?

Ideas?

Thanks...

Gnd,

Put the 2nd batt in and be done with it....Seriously. I don't know why people seem to want to avoid it...but ALL of my customers who had the same opinion as yours...are now wondering why they refused to do it....everything else is a band aid...IMO

you rather pulling your engine apart than adding one more battery?
 just put another battery it will be better & faster like DaveO sugested.

Yes.  I have no room for a second battery.  The motor isn't right anyways - 1397 that runs 123 in the 1/8th but only 147 in the 1/4...

He better find a spot NOW for a second battery...

haha.that fucking idiot who will build it for him told us,no way its gonna have startup issues.same guy put a full 4in1 and got my friends bike custom mapped and it dynoed exactly the same as it did stock.
thanks for the tip.
is it really THAT bad?is it even possible to fire it up?

[gnd111]

I can't start mine after the temp gauge reaches halfway.

[denise richards]

?the temp gage stys allways a tad under halfway.
you mean,once its warmed up,you cant satrt it anymore?that sucks.

Pretty much and that is even with a YTZ14S battery...

[denise richards]

just start it the way they do it in moto gp .
whats wrong with installing a second battery?

[E-RACER]

What are your cams degreed at??

My 13-1 1397 started decent I had to crack the throttle a little bit but it always started..

Ive seen people put a second battery on the motor near the breather..

Anyone have pics of were to put one?/I also just read a post By Motorhead..it said you could put 2 stock battery side by side in his undertail!!

[busa & 12lover]

YOU NEED A SECOND BATTERY....tiger racing sells a bracket that fits on the right side of the tail section...and also as far as your 1397. I had  the same problem as far as horsepower, thats 1397 needs to breathe, head work may be needed, also a sidewinder, and you cam setup.......

[gnd111]

E- 108 / 109

Busa Lover - i don;t think that will fit with the slammed undertail.

E- i was looking at that last night - i am gonna work on the bike tomorrow and try to rearange some stuff but the 2 in the TMH section did not look like it would fit - i am gonna try it tomorrow..

DEPENDS IF ITS THE SLAMMED TAIL STARTED BOUT 6 MO AGO
BATTERY BOX WILL BE WAY OVERSIZED SO ITS EASY TO SEE
AND YOULL HAVE TO SHRTEN THE SBDRAM BOLTS TOO
OR JUST BUY 1 BIIG BAT TO TAKE UP ALL THE ROOM
STOCK AND THE ONE SMALL FIT EASILY

[gnd111]

Thanks - i am going to work on my POS tomorrow  need to get the starting issues figured out so i can get it tuned to find out where my back half MPH is.

123 in the 1/8th but only 147 in the 1/4...???

I think some of it is gearing...

[DaveO]

Gnd,

You don't need a big 2nd battery. I use the YTZ7 and put it next to the tail light. End of problem....just charge it every once in a while....put a tender cord on it.

[gnd111]

I have a Uhaul intergrater there...   Just got to take the tail off i guess and be creative - which i am not...

I appreciate all the help...

[GeorgeC]

AND YOULL HAVE TO SHRTEN THE SBDRAM BOLTS TOO

What's a SBDRAM bolt??? 

[E-RACER]

Im guessing SUBFRAME bolts??

[gnd111]

E - jut put the battery on the motor?  Have to look at that as well...

Never had it on the dynoe so i do not know.  I haven't installed the scoops yet.  Just did a full box mod so am gonna put the scoops on mow while i am in maintenance mode - i will let you know.  Thanks..

My bike has a bone stock head...  So maybe 195-200 hp?

I got the two batterys with 14.2 comp and it works great what little ive ridden it so far.I crack the throttle a1/4 open or so till she fires and it seems to turn over a little better with the throttle cracked.

[E-RACER]

He did just have it laying there on the one I seen in person..But I would make a box to hold it if room alows..

[gazza414]

Some people run the 2nd battery up on the headstock behind the headlight
