Thanks Pard,  I see a few around here, most look furniture, one  S and M, might need to pay them a visit anyways!  a few bike stuff s o we'll see if they'd be interested IN something like this.

This probably has more to do with the software than capability of the battery. Not to say that a nearly discharged battery is as capable as a fully charged one, but I can say from first hand knowledge of the gen 2 bikes that Zero effectively neuters the capability of the battery by rapidly limiting the maximum discharge rate allowed by the motor controller. The bike performs much better if you deactivate all that. It's simple enough through the DVT software on the gen 2 bikes. I don't know that the programming software for the gen 3 bike's controller is available to the general public though or that it isn't fully integrated with an external control unit.

Try one of the shops that repair leather motorcycle track suits.  They also make custom suits, so they will likely be able to help.

It ... might work well enough to get you started or at least be much closer than starting from scratch. I can send you my original DCF, but the last time I sent one to anyone, I think we had to use email.

So im at the track today.
My gloves don't exactly fit like I really would like them to.
I have shorter / fatter fingers, so in order to get a glove that is not strangling my hand and causing my fingers / hand to go numb in short order, I usually go a size up.  After talking around on the track, it seems I am not the only one who has the issue with floppy finger tips on their track gloves.  In some high maneuvering situations, this could possibly get caught up and upset the bike a bit if you tap or slide a brake or throttle or whatnot when maneuvering your hand and the glove burdens you.  It can be a distraction you don't need on a track.

Does anyone know of any place that does custom gloves or makes gloves in short fat sausage fingers size?

Thanks

PS, Yes I have worn several pairs extensively, in the sun, wet them, all the tricks trying to make them fit better... doesn't work exceptionally well.

Im using a DiD chain now and it's performing well for me.  It's getting abuse too, not a lot of sunday only riding here and it's holding up very nicely so far.

Because speeding cops chasing speeding irresponsible teenagers ALWAYS fixes the problem !!

Queue the Benny Hill music, this should make some awesome pootoob videos.

Try to leave the thing plugged in overnight to balance on an AC charge, try this a few nights in a row.  It will charge up to what it can, balance, might drop a percent or two as the batteries do their thing and eventually balance out.  The battery will also, once charged, try to recharge on it's own every few hours I believe, to try to trickle up if it is still down below 99 percent.

If you have left the bike sit for a long while without a good balancing charge, or many cycles without a good balance, then yes it can give you errors at lower percentages due to the unbalance per battery / per arm, getting bigger as they discharge.

This is not ruling out the possibility that you got a bad battery, but on two bikes?  How long did whomever had them, have them sitting, and did they take care of them properly if they sat for months before being sold?  If they did not charge them properly or store them properly, which I can EASILY see happening with a dealer, then they will act up until finally charged up and balanced properly, for it to get a top reference point.

Ive gotten 75 mph on my Ribelle pushing from 9 to 11 kw to do so.  it was jumping around a bit, obviously but Id say 10 kw is about par for that speed.

Had my Experia updated a couple of months ago, I no longer get the "key not in range" issue and I actually get slightly better range than before the update. It has sorted a few niggles and the system seems a little less "clunky". I've not tried a DC fast charge since the update though.Smithy.

I got the "key not in range" message on my Experia on the ride home from just getting the 43 FW installed. The keyfob was in my right pocket.


Since the time of your post, have you also gotten the message?   I assume so.
