Are you sure it’s a lithium. I am 95% sure that Motobatt don’t make lithium Batteries. What colour is the battery casing? Is it yellow? or is it black with a green top? Even better, any chance you could post a picture?

This got the better of me and Daves question made me think? Even after i messaged you i kept wondering. I think your battery Nick is a AGM (absorbed glass Mat) battery which isn’t a Lithium battery if it’s a Motobatt? That would help explain why it went flat

You can read the difference here

When I checked the Motobatt website I can only see AGM batteries :huh: see here maybe I missed it I don’t know. Anyway I was bored here in my motel and that’s what I came up with.

I couldn’t get a run out of one Nick, that said some people rave about them. I went to an industry battery night for work a few years ago in Brisbane and from that I am not convinced a normal charger can maintain a lithium battery regardless of what the manufacturer of the battery claims to get sales. Also a bikes charging system wont get the battery back to its fully charged state. I have a 4 stage charger that recovers batteries that other chargers cant. I didn’t have that when I tried a lithium battery before. That stated is my opinion from my experience only

Just wondering – is anyone who attended this ride able to email to me Saturdays route please?

When Sundays route was loaded into my Zumo 550, all of Saturdays route and trip log was deleted. I know there was difficulties loading the Zumos, as one of my ride partners had his Saturdays data removed as well.

Much appreciated to anyone who can send me this.

Cheers

Baz – pikey51@gmail.com

Baz we remove the previous days route every ride to prevent any confusion with the day 2 tracks if they go near one another or the reverse direction on the same track during the day. This is done for safety reasons mainly

Welcome Baz, how good was that ride, I had a blast. See you at Lithgow

Hi all, glenn here, I was on the red and black 2009 r1200gsa.

My first RideADV trip and I had a blast.

Huge thanks to terry for letting me follow him and his gps for 2 days!

You guys do an awesome event, I tried a few things that were definitely out of my comfort zone.

Looking forward to the next one I can get to.

Some randoms from the weekend

D Rally doing some cold morning prep in Oberon. For the record it was minus 1.5 when Troy and I rode out at 5.30am on Sunday morning

The Wolfman locked and loaded

The DR of Yakka failed it rear suspension, the support ute picked him and his bike up

Where it happened

Some of where we went

The Rideadv WRs

Super sweeps Fuchsy and Kamazie Rocket

Flying Fish turned up and rode my WR on the second day

Irish

This guy didn’t have a camelback so he duct taped his poppers to his helmet

Iced up Rideadv seat

Stephen Gall on the far right, he looks that clean at the end of the day

Three bikes drowned crossing the Kowmung river crossing

Burraga fuel stop and lunch

TB

[GregMember]

I can happily fix that real easy Corey or you can just join DBW

Maybe people need to get out ride more, post more rides publicly on the forum and ride reports don’t forget the ride reports

Myself I have just ridden two days, awesome

Just saying
