So thanks for everyone’s help. I will detail the solution here as it’s pretty cheap and easy. First off the Kepworth battery is being sold through Amazon and has a pretty good reputation . The problem with battery management systems incorporated into LiON batteries is that when they abruptly...

You got it . Headed to Labrador in Sept if you’re there too :) Also check out my reply for the solution !

Looks like TallPaul wins the prize. I just hooked up a AGM battery in parallel with the Lion and the voltage spikes seized , so it’s the overcharging circuit protection cutting out fast, likely causing the spikes. It’s a Kepworth and I’ll see what they have to say. I will post update when fully...

Thanks. That’s worth a try. I will hook up a normal battery and test. Though how can a battery controller turn 14v into spikes of 18? To me it has to come from charger side unless somehow the ac generated is inducing voltage on DC lines . It does seem to spike when dropping RPMS. I did meter the...

Thanks. Yes and yes but I don’t think the starter solenoids in play here. The fault shows up after a couple minutes of riding.

Hi all. My 2016 ES bike has been throwing code 51 on the ABS. (Battery voltage too high) I put a FLUKE on it, and tested voltages at battery level and it would be constant 13.9-14.2 as it warms up. No issues at higher rpms etc. Then I put it on the MIN MAX recorder and could see it occasionally...

I had the same experience. Less snatchiness . Remember, it only goes richer when the throttle position is changing. The 02 sensors take over and revert to factory closed loop mix when at steady speed. Don’t see any great fuel economy hit either

I have the storms and the HB rack too. No issues , love them

I sewed heated seat pads onto the removable liner in the jacket. Hooked it up to a Gears temperature controller and it works great

Interesting but ugly?

And no I never felt the need for heating the sleeves. Between heated gloves, heated seat, heated grips, heated soles and heated jacket , (all wired) I can ride all day down to the freezing point.

No! The pads are sown into the cold weather zip in liner. I would never pierce the GoreTek. It goes on the side that faces the inside of the jacket, so you can’t even see it when holding the jacket up, just the cord dangling

I suppose we all have an idea of what “win” means. The pads are fairly flexible , so I think I’ll keep that level of protection against shorts and skin burn... :)

I have a pair of Gears (supposedly waterproof.... uh, ... NO) that are warm enough but find them a PIA to put on with wet hands. Any body have better, dryer option for wired gloves?

Purchased two aftermarket seat heat pads and had a seamstress sew them in. $40 mod. I have it hooked up to a GEARS temperature controller as it can get quite warm. Did the same thing to the seat. Bought a kids leather jacket and then sewed another heat pad into that. Added some more foam up...

That’s what fixed my intermittent CC fail. Can’t remember wether it was throttle position or the air intake position sensor (the one that measure the angle at which your air intake flaps are at ) but Intjink it was the latter

Here’s mine. I use metal compression binders with straps . They stay on the bike so dry bag goes on quick and doesn’t shift like bungies can. These were taken up in Labrador last September

Just in case any one is looking for another alternative, I've been running E3 plugs for 16km now. My OEM factory ones looked good too at 28km and i decided to give these a try. the ones you're looking for are E3.38 . A couple of long hauls, one accross Labrador and it still feels smooth, no...

Replaced TPS with a new one from alibaba for $50 and all is well again. (Thanks rbmgf7) I think running around the same speed a lot of times , or on cruise around same speeds creates a resistance spot in the TPS and whenever your bike decells or accelerates accross that spot, it can hiccup. TPS...

Check out the Jumpy Throttle thread. I had the same issue. Replaced TPS with a new one from alibaba for $50 and all is well again. I think running around the same speed a lot of times , or on cruise around same speeds creates a resistance spot in the TPS and whenever your bike decells or...
