My blog of a Pulse Adreneline 250

Well she arrived today. Couldn't resist getting one.. 5 years unlimited mileage warranty - unheard of (well in the UK).
Had a little 50 mile jaunt, taking it easy of course while running in the new motor.
My blog begins!

I thought that too. It is the tyre dressing the dealer put on. They are made by a company called Kingstone. To be fair, they look decent enough - will let you know later how they perform...

Today I decided to have a look under the Adrenalin's skin and do some ACF-50 spraying and cable tidying. Very easy job, panels held by a few screws. I separated each connector and gave it a good ACF-50 squirt. Then a few cable ties to tidy thing up.

Time to connect the battery charger lead, and my USB charging point cables. A pleasant surprise - a lithium ion battery fitted as standard - or is it a pleasant surprise!!!!

Note the factory "fix it" to keep the smaller battery in place..........

In theory the Lithium Ion battery should be much less maintenance. I probably wouldn't invest in the charger though for that price. Maybe see how long the lithium ion battery lasts and then look to replace it with a standard one after if you've already got a charger and such.
