If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Battery charging for GSXR750 K3

First off, I'd like to apologize for kidnapping this forum to ask for help about a Gixxer, but I don't have a clue where to turn.

Second, today I bought a 2003 GSXR750 and I'm wondering if the batteries for this bike can even be charged.

There are no plugs that you can take out while the battery is charging by a regular charger. Can it even be charged or do you have to just buy a new one when this one is empty?

Also, can anyone tell me where I can find a (free) User Manual for it?

Thank you!
 
You should not charge this battery with a normal charger meant for a lead acid battery, yours is sealed for life so you need a trickle charger :)

Thank you, tone. At least now I know why the damn thing started whistling when I hooked it up to the lead acid charger. Thank god I realized it was the battery that was whistling and quickly turned it off. It was bloated already though. *cringe* Put it back into the bike, gave contact, and left it to stay for a minute with the headlight turned on, hopefully that emptied it enough. I'm going on vacation with it tomorrow, so hopefully it'll start normally.

sigh, seems like I really need that user's manual in pdf.

Again, thanks for the info, tone!

and another. I've wanted this bike, exactly 750 and this model for a long time. It was an excellent day, passed an exam with flying colors and bought a bike I've long wanted.

Thanks for the offer, man, but this was a more a spur-of-the-moment buy, since it was a good deal (a discount of 1300 EUR from 4300 to 3000), I wasn't intentionally looking at them (cause I believed I couldn't afford it).
