Have You Seen It?

As I’m sure most of you already know, this year Suzuki not only one upped the already popular Hayabusa by giving it more power, slicker aeros, better suspension and brakes. But have you seen it’s new evil step brother the B-King? This un-faired limited production “muscle bike” comes stock with the 1340cc Hayabusa motor that delivers more than 150HP to the rear wheel…. Can you say MEAN?

Well not only have a few of us lucky guys had the chance to ride this beast, but we’ve also started getting some of the goodies in stock for them. Keep checking back to our site as we update all the trick little add ons for this monster or contact our parts specialists and ask about our early arrival B-King accessories before they reach the site.

PPS Tech tip - Winter Battery Blues

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Sick of replacing that darn battery every year??? Here are a few quick tips on keeping your current battery in tip top shape.

During the winter months (AKA bike lonely time) modern batteries slowly discharge all by themselves by just sitting there and doing nothing. When you are riding regularly, you are keeping your battery charged because your motorcycle comes from the factory with the (oh so helpful) charging system.

If you aren’t going to ride at all for 2 or 3 months, disconnect the battery and store it somewhere. But if you want to ride at a moment’s notice, just peel open that little wallet and spring for a Battery Tender.

These “smart” trickle-chargers only push a current when it is needed. When the battery is fully charged, the system shuts down and monitors the level. Then it kicks back in as necessary. It’s a lot like the thermostat in your house, only people don’t fight over trickle-chargers.

So as an overview -

Old fashioned (yet trusty) way - Disconnect your battery from the terminals and remove it from the machine. Top it off with distilled water (for non-sealed maintenance free models)  and store it in a cool dry place. Oh and don’t forget to periodically give it fresh trickle charge to keep her juiced up. That way she will be good and ready when the groundhog fails to see its shadow.

Lazy (My) way - Leave the battery in the bike. Buy a “smart” battery tender. Hook it up and let the charger do the work for you!
