Battery Less Starter – Capacitor Kit For TPI

The PreCharge harness allows a connection of a 9V battery (not included) to Precharge the BLS Capacitor and allow more consistent kick starting. A diode is used in the harness to protect the 9V battery the engine is running. It is recommended that a new 9V battery is kept in your backpack, or airbox and connected if the motorcycle battery dies and kickstarting is required.

The Pre-Charge Harness is not required for TPI motorcycles which do not have a kickstarter fitted (and can be hill/bump started easily without the PreCharge Harness.

The BLS Capacitor kit includes a capacitor assembly (50V, 105degC rated capacitor, dipped to weatherproof, with wiring and 6mm terminals) and zip tie to secure the capacitor during installation and i. The capacitor has two wire connections: Red must be connected to the battery +ve terminal and Black must be connected to the battery ground terminal. The BLS capacitor may be installed permanently, or temporarily during a battery issue. Following a start the engine will run normally even if the motorcycle battery is totally dead, or removed. The electric start will not function when the battery is dead, or removed. Weight of the kit is approximately 65g.
