i know its because i dont get to ride a lot, so basically its just sitting for a few weeks at a time, then i ride, then it sits for a few omre weeks.... is there anything i can maybe put in the gas, or something else i can do to it so that this doesn't happen?? thanks..

 

stay-bil i think it's called can go in the gas tank to keep the gas good, as far as the dying battery, start it up every few days and run it around or let it idle. preferibly drive it around.

do you have any pics, i wanna see that Hot wheels graphics kit, do you remember where you purchased the graphics kit?

 

I use a battery tender , which is just an automatic charger that switches itself of and on as needed and can be left on all the time,
The one i have is an optimate 3 but im sure if you ask around u can find a cheaper one

 

how much is a battery tender?

 

Ive seen them for 19. bucks, for a battery tender jr. I use mine all the time, and it works great.

 

Use the small flatblade screw at the bottem of your carb to drain it (shutting your gas off first of course) when you're done using it. When you go back to start it a month later it'll start better. The battery tender's are a good idea too.

thanks, and how much is a battery tender, and where does it go?

 

They're under 30 bucks. They come with a pigtail you can leave hooked right up to your battery to make it convenient to plug it in. You simply plug the charger into the wall, and into the pigtail you have attached to your battery. Or you have the option of just hooking it up directly to your battery like a charger, same thing ether way. You have can just leave it hooked up to your battery when not in use. It has "smart circuitry" that senses when your battery needs charging, and will shut itself off when your battery has a full charge.

 

Heres a link to battery tenders website. Theres lots of good info there, about taking care of your new battery.
