Ya Peter they do look beefy enough. The issue is the 'small' Wire/cable is embedded in that epoxy and would need replacement, so kind of a hobbling up in that plan too. I do think that the relay in your pic is water/weather sealed so it's just the connecting points themselves that are vunerable, ya? I've got a Plastic Cover/shield that covers that point on mine, but when I redo that system again (when I take off the ABS and create some space for it), I may Silcone Seal that part too.Hard to imagine the fault is the Relay/Solenoid, OEM is bigger than the replacement and should be well waterproofed if nothing else, the only thing I see is thin cables.
Has anyone pulled their Starter Motor apart to see if there is any weak spots there? View attachment 1030
More like these onesGreat Tip on the Solar Panel Connectors Sasa!
Like these? They are rated @1500V and accept 10mm Wire.
Strange over talking is happening when I view it.I like some Technology and Hate Vehemently a friggin lot of as well. some I have mastered and most Not.
As in the upload of the vid in the Post above ( well it was when I looked , page that is ) didnt seem to master that so I decided to edit it on my phone, upload it to You Tube and copy the link.
I need more practice , does it show?
Good to hear! I’m not totally sold on this battery technology for motorcycles yet but if it works long term it’s a win. I sure like the weight and size of them.So far I am happy with the Modification to the Starter System, I am no longer stuck at TDC, it has the Grunt to get over it now, it seems.
Early days and I may fit a Decompressor Cam soon anyhow!
I have been able to start every time I wanted too so far Proving the "shitty little Battery" ( man it is light ! ) can do the Job, I am not sure if I would recommend this Battery ( a Sponsorship could change my opinion ) But it does save space and weight and has the Power to turn over a High Compression Himalayan

These Batteries do not like hard work!, they want to do it Quick and they have the High Volts but not the Reserve IMO.Good to hear! I’m not totally sold on this battery technology for motorcycles yet but if it works long term it’s a win. I sure like the weight and size of them.
Relay shouldn't have an orientation.This could be a Fail again, the starter Relay held in and the starter did not release on 2 occasions, perhaps the relay is back to front?
I will wait until the new unit arrives and fit that the way it is intended, just in case
