That doesn't mean the battery is good. It needs load testing. Try your nearest Halfrauds, they offer load testing FOC.
I wouldn't trust them to test load a pair of bathroom scales... lol

Basically, all a simple load tester is is an iron coil and meter that you connect across the terminals. The coil heats up and simulates a load. The better the battery condition, the hotter the coil gets (and quicker). The meter is just a visual indication of the state of the battery.

However, more advanced ones like Sealey, Snap On, etc. have various functions that allow you to select wet or dry fill, CCA, etc. Just a gimmick really.

I think the Optimate I have does some sort of test like that if you leave the battery connected for a while. Will have to RTFM.

In fairness, all the higher end "smart" charger should have an automatic load test facility by way of proving that the battery is OK.

I'm not trying to say that you are a mechanic or anything else.

I'm saying that you don't listen to anything people say, you seem to read it, acknowledge it and then do whatever you wanted to do in the first place.

Nobody expects you to be a master at anything but your like a goldfish, you keep going around in circles and repeating the same thing 5 seconds later.

Being 20 doesn't have a lot to do with it, there are plenty of young people on here that started with perhaps even less knowledge than you did, but with a bit of patience and thinking about things with some good explanations they all have working bikes.

Measure twice, cut once.

When everybody tells you not to buy something listen, ask for specifics if necessary but don't ask for advice and then do whatever you were going to do in the first place regardless.

i connected the rpm signal to the primary ignition coil. and still not working. it seems its not gonna work, and i will tell the chinese suppliers that its not working. also one more thing, after 5 seconds of connecting it to the primary igition coil, the bike cut off with a loud backfire. and the bike wont fire up anymore, but there is still spark on all four.
I don't know if I've done the right thing but I've sent a link to this thread to Richard Curtis, I'm confident he'd look forward to working with Xivlia ;)

OK. This has run its course. Find someone else to pick on.
