I have searched but I couldnt findeth....

I need to change the drive chain, and I am wondering about the specs. This is for a Ribelle and an SS9 (but they both use the same chain as far as I know).

It is a Regina 525 o-ring chain, but how many links ?

I can tell you the Experia is a 520 chain with 120 links....don't know about the Ribelle or SS9 sorry.

Can you not just count the links..?? That's all I did.

Smithy.

I dropped in on the service center in south san francisc with a box of donuts for my FW43. I had already gotten the 600 mile service at CalMoto a few weeks before. I wanna say it was about an hour.

But I live about 25 miles away, so if they hadnt gotten to it i would only be put out a box of donuts and an hour round trip.

Im sure they are all about Stefano Mesa right now and supporting Tytler's Cycle, but maybe you can get an appointment there?

I already got my update on my Experia to 43. I went back to my Reno house the other day and I had a message on the LL there from A&S that they discovered they had another cable because of another Energica they already had in the shop. They also told me they would only have the cable for a few more days. So I rushed back here to Auburn within a half hour of getting to Reno.   The next day (Friday) I had to get the Experia there and did. Snow was coming to the summit the next day (yesterday). I now have my Experia back here in Auburn with the 43 update. BTW, I still got the "key not in range" message on the way home with the new 43 update with the key fob in my right pocket.  But I now see the heated handgrips on the main menu as well as it saying " FW version 43" in "about". So the update was completed. The update gives no clues on how long it will take, shows no percentages done or anything like that. Took a couple of hours or so, I was able to wait for it.


I now have my 2020 Esse Esse 9 there for the same update. I could not pick it up yesterday in the pouring rain, so I pick it up on Tuesday.


After I get some miles on my Experia and try a fast charger in Yuba City, CA  that did not work at all before the update, I will do a new comparison between my Zero DSR/X and Enegica Experia. Even though it was a little disappointing to see the "FOB  not in range" message just after the update on the way home, I will need to see if all the other countless bugs I had with my Experia are now gone which will take at least a few hundred miles to know for sure.



I don't really care much if it works better with the Magic Docks because there are NONE in the entire state of NV and here in CA they are all in useless locations next to real CCS. But I will try it out in Placerville anyway, as before it would only charge there at around 8 KW.

All,

I had a plug and play experience (Update 43 on Experia) at a local Supercharger.  I did have the Tesla ap on my phone, and communication between the phone, charger, and Experia were fine.

Minor glitch afterwards - red warning triangle lit up on dash after starting.  Shut it off and restarted and light went off.  Lit up the next day, but has been off for weeks since.  I think this may have happened because I plugged in before shutting off the ignition.

Get it while you can - with Musk's insanity, you never know.  One good thing about the Tesla diaspora - staff will certainly be able to help other EV companies - ignoring their NDA's!

What Tesla SC  location was that?  Are you using a Magic Dock Supercharger?  Or did you manage to get it to work with a Tesla to CCS adapter (which I don't think is possible with the 43 FW) on a non-Magic Dock?

Here is the New York Times article that was published in my newspaper today regarding the subject matter.

I’m afraid that the main problem with the powerpacks in general is this: filling a petroltank can be done by everybody, but it takes some basic knowledge (and some more) to handle a lipo battery in the right way. And if you buy a second hand electric motorcycle the damage can be done by the first owner. It sure helps if an owner did or does some radiocontrolled airplane or helicopter flying as a hobby, you can learn a lot just by looking what an rc-charger does, and with which values it works  .

Honestly, with the quality of the video production and the way you present I would never have thought you'd only been doing this a few months and had 30 odd subscribers. Hopefully that number goes up steadily, with the effort you put in you deserve it and more people should see it. I'm glad you're going through the effort to get it road legal too so it can really be enjoyed.

Thanks again, that's really motivating RE the videos. A road legal EV conversion is something i'd been wanting to do for years and finally decided to try it since the cost of suitable batteries is now workable.

Mate, that was very enjoyable to watch, don't know why you were selling yourself short. Usually the mention of cafe racer alone puts me off but that's because most of them are very poorly done, but your quality of work and the thought and effort put into it is very impressive and far beyond what I was expecting. I've subscribed because I'm really interested in seeing the rest of your work and this thing completed.

Thanks for the kind words and the sub! Glad you enjoyed the videos too, they are a lot of fun to make - and hopefully also help others doing similar projects. Really looking forward to getting this thing together to start road testing.
