How many times have we Laverda Riders had to jump our engines with a car or have a Pretty Girl give us a push while we pop the clutch in the morning dew ;o)

I'm sure some Pretty Girl will find Dirkko app(e)aling from behind while launching his Laverda in the morning.
Laverda Riders are NOT Born Loosers.
My biggest issue was, under them events, was keeping eyes off the rear view mirrors and them bouncing jugs.
On the other hand - WHY would I need a battery that starts my Laverda !!!!!!!!!!!.

Excuses - Whatever, because of batteries, I always park my Laverda pointed Down Hill in No Man's Land.

Not a good idea Chris. Lipo batteries should not be charged at more .5C (that is half the A/H rate of the battery. If it is a 20A/H battery do not charge at more than 10 AMPS)
Any more amps, such as unlimited off a set of jumper leads will damage the battery
By the way Lipo should not be discharged at more that 10C (10 times the A/H rate) for any length of time. A quick push on the Starter button is ok .
Due to internal resistance in the batteries excessive charge current has a tendency to make them go bang, and that can be quite nasty.

Is that typical for a STD Bosche 750 SF Generator?
Perhaps so at 3500+ RPM.

How many Watts is the SF generator rated at ??
What is the max current output from the regulator??
I don't think this would be a big issue.
Running unlimited current via a pair of jumper leads from a fully charged battery is another thing altogether.
Chris could easily be plugging 50A into the Lipo and I would not want to be too close when it does go Bang

It's most meaningless to compare a Laverda 3Cly Alternator charging system to a SF Generator Charging system.
I've never found a definitive solution in over 40 years.
Sick Man - Just point her down hill.
I'm not saying she will not start a dozen times but that 13th time - You're in No man's Land and with all my experience still can't figure it out other then being a Bane to a Breganze Laverda.
