2012 DS mods moved to 2013 FX
« on: March 08, 2013, 10:48:42 AM »

I've now moved three mods that I did to the 2012 DS over to the 2013 FX.

1st was the Corbin low seat. This has moved from the 2010 DS to the 2012 DS and now to the 2013 FX. Because of minor changes in each of those years I've had to modify the rear brackets every time and on the 2013, cut away a little plastic. In addition I have removed the two rear trim panels because the edges of the seat interfered with the top of the panels.

2nd was moving the little push button fork pressure bleed valves to the new bike. Straight forward there.

3rd was moving the handle bar SPORT/ECO momentary switch and wiring it in on the new bike. The switch will function the same as it did on the 2012: riding in SPORT, pushing it forward with my left index finger will give ECO low regen and pulling it back will give ECO high regen and brake light. I placed it in the same identical position as it is shown in my "Handle bar switch works great" posting on the pre-2013 forum page.

re: brake-lights & regen.

I started to read up on accelero-meters and considered a DIY project to activate a brake light when decelerating significantly. Instead of trying to build my own, I opted to pledge for a Volo-light.

To be seen or not to be seen, that's the question.
We'll see... or not.

Cheers

Maybe you can help me on that Trikester

Where the hell is connected ths Sport/ECO mode switch on the 2011 DS or S ?

It seem that it is only on the 2011 XU ? ( unless i am dreaming and that there is no switch like that on any 2011 zero ?

I just wonder where the switch wires goes on the BMM connector ( wich pins)

I have the wiring for the 2012 ECO/Sport sw, which I got from Harlan. I don't know if it also applies to the 2011. It's in pdf format, and I'll try to attach it here, but if that doesn't work I'll change it to a jpg photo and attach it.
