Thank you very much Yogu. Your videos sure do help a widow turned motorcycle mechanic. Really sucks having to take on this job but I refuse to give up riding because I lost my soul mate and master bike builder.
I am glad to hear it helped and am sorry for your loss. Stay safe and give me a shout if there is anything I can do to help.
This saved me money and the embarrassment of a man talking down to me a shop ❤ THANK YOU
Thank you so much brother. My 2012 Dyna Wide Glide just went through this exact same thing with that same model battery, only difference was both of my terminals were melted. Realized that I completely forgot the brass spacers and was trying to figure out what I did wrong. Thanks a million for the vid!
My pleasure, glad you discovered it and thank you for commenting!!
Thank you so much, Yogi, for sharing, I'm also Rider, but, my melted negative lead connector happens to my RV. Keep up the good job.
Thank you
Thank you. I was wondering what caused it.
Yeppers I've seen that happen a few times, well done Yogi brother 💯✌️😎
Going to check my battery for sure.
Good Stuff Yogi. There is another issue that could rear its ugly head later on. Loose connections, at the battery, starter, or ground could cook the alternator or components of the charging system. They will work harder and over time shorten the life. Dirty, rusty, grounds, and undersized battery cables could also create issues. I know many starters have been changed because of loose connections or bad grounds.
Chuck Habrack great points
My neighbors terminals were melted. So he went and got a new battery and terminals. Now no power or start
Always coming through when I’m lost. 💪🏽
If the terminal is not tight to the battery will that cause the same problem
Thank you so much for this !
Loctite on battery's is wild
Good video!! Definitely need to check those connections especially before something bad happens.
Yeah this was a very helpful video my bike was having this problem and I thought starter myself and yep negative part of my battery is totally melted. I will definitely be checking from now on
Well I’m glad you caught it early. Thank you for the comment
@@YogisCycleService You got a new subscriber my friend
@@motommajasonboss4521 appreciate it!!!
Thanks Yogi, these tips are very helpful to me. God bless.
Yes sir and thank you for your comments, I appreciate them very much!
I found this video while looking for a how-to on replacing a battery cable lug. I am fixing my first motorcycle up after it had set a couple of years and know fuck all about mechanics (thank you CZcamsrs). One of my terminals was partially melted. Thanks to you, I will be buying another battery so I don't light my crotch on fire. My genitals and I thank you, sir.
Grey Archeon Happy to help keep your boys safe, LOL
Thank you brother 👍. Subscribed 😊
Thank you!
Loose connection. Been there done that.
my r6 just died on me on the highway and lights cut off have any suggestions brother?
I know it’s been a bit but you should make a video on how to connect the battery correctly so we don’t have this problem
Just had this same thing happen to my ‘11 XL1200C. Nearly burned my nuts off. 🤣 never seen the brass spacers though
Yep, going on year 6 with the original battery in my Victory.... I check the terminals with every oil change.
PaiN's Rides good call. And that’s why your battery has lasted. Probably on a tender too right?
@@YogisCycleService Yes sir
Good vid. My batterys negative terminal just melted.
Fredy Rosales Man I’m sorry to hear that I am quite surprised by all the comments on this video how common this is
THANKS YOGI ! PROBLEM SOLVED. GREAT VIDEO
Awesome!!
Is there any way to fix a melted terminal? My battery melted after only 1 month. Any advice will be appreciated! Thanks !!
There are a few videos out there is you search on how to do it but I haven’t tried any. Looks kinda sketch to me.
I bought a new battery and the red wire gets very hot and melts sometimes smokes if I keep trying to turn on
It only clicks when I try and turn it on
Thank you. This video was very helpful. Happy new year
Happy New Year and Thank you!!
hey yogi i got a 82 yamaha 650 yics just recently my battery started to discharge i'm not sure if it is the stator or my cable connections are broke could you please let me know if broken battery terminals could make your battery discharge please and thank you for your time
There’s a lot of reasons why that could be happening. This time of year the cold really effects the batteries. Here is a article that lists the top 7 reasons and may be a good start point for you. www.firestonecompleteautocare.com/blog/batteries/things-that-drain-car-battery/
Is it the same for the negative terminal?
Good question and I think either terminal would apply
Wow ! i wished i had seen this vid before i tried to hook up my new battery....there were no brass spacers so i just did the best i could......Wrong ! the negative post started to smoke and next thing i knew it was starting to melt....couldn't take it back due to damage. What can i do now Yogi? Get spacers and try to recharge the battery to make it work? the terminals are still there and the holes for the bolts........Please advise...Thanks !
Awesome very helpful 👍!!!
Thank you!!
I recently bought a brand new car battery, and before I installed it, I accidentally set a flat screen TV on top of the battery.
I didn't realize the plastic TV stand had a metal plate on the bottom of it, which caused a connection between the positive and negative posts, which caused both posts to partially and unevenly melt away.
I'm looking to rebuild the posts somehow. And I'm thinking of wrapping tinfoil around the posts as a mold and filling it with some type of metal to rebuild the cylindrical shape. But in not sure what metal to use.
I'd like to avoid melting lead and pouring it into the tin foil mold surrounding the posts.
Is there anything premade I can buy (like liquid solder or something similar) that will work to remedy this situation?
Yeah not sure I would recommend that. You might want to search on CZcams and see what you find. I am sure it can be done but looks kinda sketch to me. I haven’t done it before. I would just replace it honestly which I know stinks since you just bought it
It's a $200 battery, and it works fine. It just has short uneven terminal stubs, which I noticed today is causing big time corosion buildup. I'm not spending another $200.
I thought about melting the metal off of another dead battery I have to replace the metal. But was hopping for a easier solution.
I'll figure something out.
@@warkmard-dw4dw I hear ya. Good luck.
Can a Negative terminal ado the same thing ?
I would imagine so yes but I could be wrong.
Is it possible to get it repaired?
I suppose if you can form it up and melt lead you can make like a weld on the corner then retap the threads. Might work. Never tried. Not sure I would reccomend either
What are my chances of the supplier warranty-ing my battery in this condition...
Dave Howard If they supplied you those little brass inserts and can prove that you didn’t use them probably not good if they did not supply you the brass inserts I would say possibly pretty good. But that is personal opinion, and with an extra $1.50 might be able to buy a cuppa coffee
Yogi's Cycle Service already called em and yep, it’s considered a meltdown and not covered.
It’s $100 to prevent a bike fire... I am just glad I caught it when I did.
Dave Howard dang Sorry man
Dave Howard Amen that because I saw it happen from this very reason on one of our rides last year
👍
Clan??..lol
Ha ha yeah, more like the Scottish term for family and not like the term spelled with a K.
thanks for sharing, but here is a suggestion: get right into the subject without all the rambling intro
