June 20, 201214 yr http://www.maplin.co.uk/9v-switched-battery-box-36603 take it to Andy to do it will take less than 1/2hr
June 20, 201214 yr Don't think Ossa are still 100% with the LSS, the system I'm trying out gives you the 9v you need to power up the ECU only and the capacitor is kept, the other systems use 12v and powers up the fuel pump which when doing so dumps un-needed fuel into the cylinder and also gets rid of the capacitor, when the battery pack I'm using goes flat the bike will still start as its still a std wiring system and you just have to buy another £2 9v battery they reckon I should get around a 1000 starts from a battery. Hey taff-d, you've done some pragmatic thinking there,coming up with the simplest/best engineering fix, sounds like you are really on to something Is it because you've come over from the Dark-Side and no longer state that; '' taff_d is glad he's not a Geordie'' ?

Wayne Not my idea I'm afraid it came from my dealer. taff_d still glad he's not a Geordie !!!!
June 21, 201214 yr who ever it came from " take a bow" fitted mine last night and from cold it starts in 3 kicks, as before the TDSS (taffdstartsystem) i was heading for 8-10 kicks jsp
June 21, 201214 yr I think most of the benefit in the 12v system is the ability to prime the fuel pump.

June 21, 201214 yr all Explorers come with the LSS, 2013 bikes expected to be standard. if the 9v system is viable, then Ossa would test it, then we'll see...
June 21, 201214 yr i ve started it three times during the course of today and tonight and its been flat cold all three times and its started first kick. so fingers crossed a excellent bike got perfect jsp Edited June 21, 201214 yr by jsp
June 21, 201214 yr "not shouting from the rooftops"... They hardly need to with the internet and T Central. Surely most 280i owners and mates must have read this topic more than once. It's had enough hits. Is this mod on 2013 model? I'll have to go for a yes. It fixed our bike 100%, now its back to pilot error!
June 22, 201214 yr i ve started her again this morning and my first kick was crap and it didnt start but i did hear the fuel pump working then second kick she was off jsp
June 22, 201214 yr all Explorers come with the LSS, 2013 bikes expected to be standard. if the 9v system is viable, then Ossa would test it, then we'll see... So as the importer you dont know if its a viable system? Are you doing your job?
