SERVICE
Batteries can lose some of their charge even with the ignition turned off. Discharge rate
depends on the storage temperature and the condition of the battery. After 30 days of
non-use, the battery may not have sufficient cranking power to start the motorcycle. Big
Dog Motorcycles recommends using the BDM250-00004 trickle charger in order to maintain
sufficient cranking power. No other charger is recommended by Big Dog Motorcycles. DO
NOT use an automotive battery charger.
CONNECTING CABLES TO THE WRONG BATTERY TERMINALS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE
TO THE MOTORCYCLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
DO NOT INSTALL ACCESSORY PLUG WIRES (NEON, TAYLOR, ETC.) THE ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFACE NOISE FROM THE ACCESSORY PLUG WIRES WILL CAUSE IGNITION ISSUES.
SPARK PLUG/PLUG WIRE INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
Inspect
and/or replace the spark plugs at 500 miles and every 2,500 miles thereafter. To disconnect
the spark plug wires from the plugs, pull on the molded connector boots. The connection
is a snap type. Grasp the rubber wire boot, not the wire. Pulling on the wire may damage
the internal conductor.
