    My dealer came with this information. I understood from him that without capacitor and battery the fan will not run at full speed. So you need a capacitor or battery connected when the engine is running. I am using the battery just for starting and disconnect it when the engine run (to prevent overloading) so I kept the capcitor in place. I connected the battery pack on connector (14) of the "esquemas electricos" and removed the front/rear light. Mounted the batterypack on the steering mounts (picture first post).

    Deon, When using the batterypack just for starting, and disconnect it when riding, the capacitor is needed for proper functioning of the fan. Without capacitor the fan will not run at full speed. Good idea to mount a led for switch position. NEVER HAD A BETTER STARTING BIKE !

    New on this forum, but following the discussions here for some time. Have bought myself a 2012 Ossa TR280i, and very happy with this bike. Switched to map 13 lately. Cold start OK for me, about 3-4 slow kicks followed by a firm one and it runs. Warm start becoming worse with map 13. I can only start it with one strong kick when standing a bit higher than the ground. When standing on the ground it takes me to many kicks. (65 kgs and 1,75m) Mounted a battery with switch on the steering mounts connected to the white light connector. Capacitor still in place. Cold start 1 kick !, warm start 1 kick ! Because my battery consists of 10 standard AA NimH batteries I do not keep them connected when riding. They get to hot, and I think this needs some special loading electronics. So I switch the battery before starting, start the motor, and switch off the battery. The batteries do not drain quickly and are about 2000mAh Capacitor needed for good running of the fan according to my dealer. For me a perfect (temporary) solution.
