I added a LITTLE EXTRA KICK to mine. Using two SC-1 4 cell batterys and sending 24v to starter its instantaneous like 1 second!!!! In Florida H/S racing have dead engine starts and have to run to bike. With a Rekluse clutch bike in 2nd gear it will take off before you can get your leg over seat.

Awesome that looks much better. Surprised they sent you so much bad stuff haha. Bad luck I guess. If you have a fin on the bottom of your seat, definitely grind that off. I had grinded mine down and it still wore through the strap so I took the fin right off. That rubber piece Panthera provided wasn’t enough. Looking forward to seeing what light you’re gonna run!

Great job, I noticed a bit of a gear drive type noise in the test video. Did that lessen with use or get worse?
@highlandcycles3 жыл бұрын
It stayed the same. The sound that happens when you hit the kill switch is from the motor stopping and briefly rotating backwards as it comes on compression and engaging the starter. It doesn’t cause a problem. The sound it makes when starting is just the way it sounds and is just fine.
