because his battery health on the 750 will stay at around 100% for much, much longer doing it that way.
Plus… What weight saving?
The bigger batteries are typically lighter than their predecessors… ;)
Unbelievable. I dont understand why this is still such an issue.
I take apart ABS connectors near vehicle wheels regularly that have been there in the muck and rain for 20 years and they are fine inside. Yamaha, have reliable, ultra high speed motorcycles.
Why cant we make a low speed bicycle...
Add motorsport engineeers to that. We wont go near the stuff on low voltage connectors as a rule.
We use it in super high voltage shunts where we need to stop it tracking though, which, incidentally, is what the stuff was originally developed for.
A solution was needed to stop HT volage...
Sounds interesting mate. I look forwasrd to seeing / hearing more details.
I am renewing mine for the simple reason I tested out siliconing the case to the frame and it worked well so I am buying 3 new ones and then siliconing them on after my new Giant loom is installed. (New Giant part no...
Thanks pal,
I have three mates with the same battery style so we have been able to collate lots of data now, indeed it’s them that led me down this path in the first place and had me considering firmware. Its taken quite some investigation with Giant to prove myself correct. 🧐
I’ve also a few...
Your GIANT dealer can arrange for you to ship the batteries back to GIANT who can update them for you.
If you are lucky, you may be able to get a rep to do it at the shop for you.
I was lucky, but my local GIANT dealer is absolutely outstanding it has to be said. (GIANT Blackpool)
Me too. The annoyance for me is we cant buy these guides anywhere.
I have to order from USA and buy 10 at a time.
Would maybe be money better spent on rider training... LOL
Time to update this topic a little.
You may recall that back on January 11th I had the battery firmwares updated in my batteries. Since that date I have had a new issue. The bike wont turn OFF.
Now that is a MUCH better problem than the original one, which is it would turn off and wouldnt turn...
Did anyone ever find a UK supplier for these?
Ive been ordering from USA which is pretty couinter productive cost wise.
There would be a market for some nice brass ones 3D printing Im sure :)
I know the feeling mate, I’ve so many 75% finished jobs on my list. I am constantly chastising myself for trying to do too much and need to just stop dead and tackle one thing at a time.
Sadly, self employment just doesn’t work like that eh mate?
Your solution is already 100% better than...
Anytime mate.
You may find my battery firmware topic of interest as well.
I will have some updates to this crazy bike situation and plan to create a water-roofing tutorial as soon as I get some time relief from work and unwell relatives. At the moment any downtime I get I try to spend actually...
Morning folks,
I thought this may interest some of you.
I have an MY20 Trance with the usually key actuated lock mechanism.
This system has two main issues.
1) dirt gets in and makes it hard to operate.
2) its adjustment only suits one battery.
if you have a spare battery as I do, it’s...
