    Battery charging for GSXR750 K3

    First off, I'd like to apologize for kidnapping this forum to ask for help about a Gixxer, but I don't have a clue where to turn.

    Second, today I bought a 2003 GSXR750 and I'm wondering if the batteries for this bike can even be charged.

    There are no plugs that you can take out while the battery is charging by a regular charger. Can it even be charged or do you have to just buy a new one when this one is empty?

    Also, can anyone tell me where I can find a (free) User Manual for it?

    Thank you!

    You should not charge this battery with a normal charger meant for a lead acid battery, yours is sealed for life so you need a trickle charger

      Thank you, tone. At least now I know why the damn thing started whistling when I hooked it up to the lead acid charger. Thank god I realized it was the battery that was whistling and quickly turned it off. It was bloated already though. *cringe* Put it back into the bike, gave contact, and left it to stay for a minute with the headlight turned on, hopefully that emptied it enough. I'm going on vacation with it tomorrow, so hopefully it'll start normally.

      sigh, seems like I really need that user's manual in pdf.

      Again, thanks for the info, tone!

        and another. I've wanted this bike, exactly 750 and this model for a long time. It was an excellent day, passed an exam with flying colors and bought a bike I've long wanted.

            Thanks for the offer, man, but this was a more a spur-of-the-moment buy, since it was a good deal (a discount of 1300 EUR from 4300 to 3000), I wasn't intentionally looking at them (cause I believed I couldn't afford it).
