    Who's had this issue? Do you think there's a more problematic design than the Kawasaki KFX450R? Let me know and maybe I'll design a fix for it! Thank you for watching and Happy Belated Thanksgiving, you all ROOOOOCKK!!! 🤘🤘🤘

      So what always saves my kfx450 is a kicker kit it seems that the starter wouldn't crank fast enough for modded kfx450 engines

      Lithium needs a Lithium specific charger, they like to be charged, removed, allowed to drop through use or sitting , and then recharged before it goes under 11V. once they get into the 10.8v and under voltage range, it lessens their lifespan for some reason , and they don't retain charges , and it drains faster when stored. . also don't store batteries in the cold.

    Just for some extra input to consider, I used that same tusk battery in both my YFZ450R and my Raptor 660 and have never had an issue with it draining out. This could more an issue with the starter drawing a lot more amps than other brands starters. Just so people aren’t 100% detoured from using the tusk batteries! I do hope this fixes the KFX though! 🙏🏻 keep you the good work bro

    Clean relocate 😎 if you have problems after this I would suggest an Antigravity battery. It did wonders for my yfz 450R & ktm that love to drain batteries. I have been replacing battery’s every 6months since 2006 😂 on every machine I have owned. Now I have one small form antigravity 13v 230cca I just rotate between bikes when I want to ride. Claims it can go a full year with no charging as long as it doesn’t have a draw on it.

    Have you consider a 24 volt system? It is a two battery linked system that is very popular with xc racing that have dead engine starts. I use a Shoria battery that has 270 CCA that by itself starts my TRX450er very fast providing valves are at proper gaps. I use 24 volts start system for racing only and it is easy to disconect it and run with 12 volt start system. For a second battery, Antigravity has a smaller 4 cell 13 volt battery that is perfect to enhance the rapid start without adding hardly any weight. In fact, two lithium batteries will weigh less than one OEM lead acid battery.

    • @MichaelSabo
      @MichaelSabo  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you ever decide to do another battery upgrade try a good brand AGM variant. They're a little pricier but they're designed for sever weather conditions and tend to have higher CCA than normal batteries. I bought one for an old utility quad that was rated for 310CCA. Of course that's also determined by model of battery. :)

    • @MichaelSabo

But since my truck is a lease I don't know if switching the crappy battery out for an AGM would void any warranties. The same goes for my tractor, I'd switch out its' stock battery in a heartbeat for an AGM but I don't know if it would mess with any warranties as well.

    You need to buy a dewalt or any cordless power tool battery that is a 6 amp battery and get an adapter off Amazon and use that instead I did this for my ltz 400 make sure it is a 20volt

    bro i had the same problem with my fully tuned 450 like that thing goes 167 mph i my dad took it to a bike shop and that mechanic was so dump he put a Chinese small freaking battery so i put a bigger battery and it works so good you cant get off the bike

  • @bilboswaggens2975
    @bilboswaggens2975 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the problem here is the battery you chose to replace it. Lithium batteries are nice but you chose a battery with only 2AH whereas even the oem was 7AH. And all this work just to install a 2AH larger battery. My suggestion, use the oem location and use an antigravity battery. Tusk also don't have a full battery management system like the better brands, so if you over-discharge it you will damage it. Where as brands like Antigravity and Shorai that appear more expensive are actually giving you MORE Battery and a full Battery Management system that will not allow the battery to over-discharge and be damaged. Antigravity will give you 150+cca in the oem box. Love the creativity tho.

    • @MichaelSabo
      @MichaelSabo  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great info and I think you're right on the lithium that I chose being a bad choice. I did however go through a number of batteries before switching to lithium (not an anti-gravity though.) I'm happy with this system though and it was fairly cheap to do.

    What quad do you prefer the best

    • @MichaelSabo
      @MichaelSabo  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Of all? That's a hard question man. Probably a well modded 400EX is my favorite quad of all time. This KFX has become one of my favorites too as far as performance and being well rounded.
