Coco needs quad battery for small Suzuki (edit)
From a future Nomad, on Mar. 26, 2014:
Yesterday Coco once again is asking his Internet amigos for a battery for his (preferred) Suzuki Quad.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: It was not the quad he had in 2012 with the bad battery, from the future Nomad:
>>> Been reading about the battery and want to tell you that it is for the small blue quad (Suzuki). Should have taken a pic of it. It is
stored in a little part of the front of an old camper...the locked door says CoCo's corral. Its the camper next to the one he lives in. Its smaller
and I can see why he would prefer that one. Closer to the ground. I never saw the white one...but it looks like its the same size. It is set up with
the special pegs like the one in the pic. I will get you the battery number tomorrow.

Any M/C guys who want to copy and post this on M/C boards, please feel free to do so. Coco needs his wheels.

it looks like the rack on the front is big enough to haul a D-8. or bring him a battery and a regulator!

If he starts and stops the machine many times a day the charging system will not stand a chance to adequately recharge the battery. The same holds
true if he starts it once and week and doesn't run it for several minutes. If the charging system seems to function a 20 watt solar panel and
controller may help. A 50 watt would not be too large.

That's a good call about starting and stopping with no long charge times. In gonzaga I have seen coco on his quad many times , with no legs he is
using it as a 4x4 wheel chair going here and there visiting friends

With the two batteries I gave him he should charge one while using the other. Maybe set him up with a solar charing system if he doesn't have one.

When my friend saw the photos of the quad from 2012, he sent me an email saying it was not that one. I edited the opening post and removed the wrong
quad photos.

Blue Quad
Coco was riding this last Nov when I went thru, as someone said he prefers the blue one as the red quad is a pita for him to climb aboard.
If I remember correctly the little one is also pull start?

If someone can stop by Cocos and find out the ATV model or get a battery model number I can take him a battery April 15th when I'm headed down there.
Maybe even figure out a solar charging system too to take him if he doesn't one.

FYI he keeps the small ATVs in a locked space under the cabover next to where he stays. That's why many of you have not seen them.

I have two on order. Will deliver to Coco on the 15th and will check his charging system and see if he has a solar charger for the battery.
