HA!

Crank and / or rod bearings.

The crank bearings allow the crankshaft to rotate. The rod bearings allow the crankshaft to change orientation in relation to the piston rods, making it possible to mo ...

I'm afraid that you're fears are well-founded.

Sad

Seems like Bruce reported a similar problem a few years back.

Maybe it's a sporadic quality issue? Change of vendors or something?

At any rate, given the cost, it couldn't hurt to change them r ...

That's what he said in his post before that. Wink

In fact, I think that's what most of you western-types call it. Laughing

Love it!

I don't know what that is.

Considering where you live, you may have heard it called "crushed run" or "crush and run."

With all due respect,

Right. Each cell should hold 2.1v. Given that there are six cells, that's 2.6. There is usually a tad higher reading immediately after a charge, giving a short-term reading of 12.6 -12.9v.

but a 800lb. bike has more materials in it than a 300 lb bike, plus more technology.

Almost forgot that. Laughing

As someone who owns a bike that tops 800 pounds, I would like to offer this:

Hear! Hear!

Neighbor's grandson sent me a text one morning - - are you UP? from next door!

Text him back:

"No. I'm still sleeping."

What about cost of materials? To put a bike together the labor might be the same, big or small, but a 800lb.

Not enough to make an appreciable difference, no.

Generally, you would charge a new battery for around 24 hours at less than 2 amps.

Try to go when the weather is awful.

Otherwise, you'll make the entire run at six miles an hour behind every unskilled rider on earth who thinks it's some sort of rite of passage.

Pot is or isn't more harmful than cigs or liquor; would you like your pilot or brain surgeon to be stoned when your life is in their hands.

Neither of these arguments is valid. The tobacco and a ...

When you get right down to it, about as much as it costs to build any other 2-cylinder OHC motorcycle. You've got just as many parts, all of which must be fabricated and assembled.

That's the prob ...
