Optimate 2

  1. That doesn't sound that low on a Ducati, but a 250cc.... is it a carb model... should start?
     
  2. It’s injected.

    It was a sod to start last year after a 2/3 month lay up, changed the fuel and that seemed to help.

    Never really had any other modern singles, this one doesn’t like to be left sitting in the shed though, I should man up and use it in winter really.
     
  3. Quick update.

    battery is Yuasa YTX9-BS.

    About 10 minutes on a normal charger and bike starts fine.

    Therefore, either the optimate is faulty or it’s no good for charging a flatter battery.
     
  4. Sounds similar to the problem and outcome I had with my old Optimate 2. I think I only paid £20ish for a new Optimate 1. Even from a Ducati dealer!
