As long as it's in a heated garage, seeing you are in Canada. I did that to a car once and discovered that the motorcycle batteries do not have the cold cranking amps sufficient for a car, when it's below freezing and sat overnight. Same if you drive it to work and then come out to drive it home 8 hours later.

AN absolute pet peeve of mine, I finally got off my rear and sorted it out permanently. Those stupid GFI Outlets that builders of houses buy the absolute cheapest made GFI Outlets they can get and shove them in all the houses. They trip for no reason at all every few hours on their own. They trip every time you plug anything into the circuit that these first GFI Outlets are wired into. If there is lightning in the sky, they trip. I cannot keep my motorcycle battery tendered or charged up because its almost every night that the GFI Outlet trips on its own for no reason. Reset the GFI then plug in anything from tool to battery charger, turn it on, bam trip again. Trip three more times, then finally it might stay on long enough to use your garage
![]() There are two more GFI's in the house, maybe three. In the bathrooms and in the kitchen. All the same cheapest units. All trip on their own. Talk to all the neighbors in the estate, they all have the same problems with their GFI Outlets. Talk to folks in other areas of the country, they have the same problems with their cheap as anything GFI Outlets they got stuck with. Talked to an electrician. His way of solving it. Untitled.jpg That's right. Install a normal outlet and replace the GFI Outlet. Then keep the GFI Outlet in storage. If you sell the house, reinstall the crappy GFI Outlet and the new home owner can make the decision what they want to do about it. ![]()

This battery has more cranking amps then the proper battery for the car which was one reason it was chosen. Well i was looking at AGMs in the same size class before but these Lithiums came up on sale for $20 less then the AGMs and have more CA then them as well. The AGMs were about the same as the Group 26 batteries that the car normally would use. During the fall/winter it is likely i will remove it and keep it in the house on a trickle charger to protect it from cold weather.

This is my first Engage paddle. I was playing with a Gamma Needle which replaced a Selkirk and Onix Z-5's. I've tried a couple of tournaments, and I'm playing another in Feb.

I still need to get a radiator set for the SSR SR250. The one I ordered from china never showed, and I got a refund. Minis and dirt bikes/ pit bikes are all I'm doing moto-wise this year. Gonna try and get this lexus boosted and on the streets by this summer.

I bought some throttle cable clamp on nipples (sounds painful) for my scooter. Will see if they hold up or eventually pull off. Vespa used similar clamps for decades on the shift and clutch cables.
