Damn, sounds like we shouldn't ride bikes at all...

That's the lifespan of the entire bike and very common for an MX/Enduro machine. Most even don't make it that far before being dumped.

At home it makes no real sense. But charging with 6.6 is really easy. Just need a 7kW generator/battery pack instead of a 4kW. Also when there is an AC charger nearby you could just plug it in with an adapter. They could even make it a 3 fase one. That's not to uncommen in a household with a...

But he could just try to plug it in and see what happens, worst case the safety in his house ''falls''. Then you actually know it uses more power than normal.

That video shows a plastic cover. That means a 6.5kWh battery, seperate charge port where 1.0 Gen 2 allready got the charge port in the cover. So your info is on an outdated model. It's not unthinkable the 1.0 Gen 2 with integrated charge port is totally differently wired and fused isn't it?

How about you ride down the street twice, plug it in at full 6,6 and tell us what happens.

Wich Gen was that teardown? Might very well be a Gen 1.0 and the 1.2 and EX having a higher rating as they thought of this future move...

That's due to the front suspension being slightly shorter on the EX.

I just used force, came right off. You should just centre the ring, it's not that hard. Leave it like this and i'm pretty sure it will vibrate loose over time.

I have the Racetorx one. Works fine but the brake line is just stupid. It's way to long so you're looping it somewhere in the bike and the banjo ends are so that they won't line up well unless you start cutting in the plastics. I bought some different banjo ends and a few sizes universal brake...

Well the topic was derailed, but knowledge and viewpoint were shared so that counts as a win doesn't it? I have had some failure point over the past 2 years. Altough it is one of the first bikes though (just under number 1200) so i can forgive them for that. A lott of failure points we had back...

Coverage may be an issue when falling on the side and some pointy rock sticks out. Has been with a few riders (broken of cooling fins). The question there is how far do you want to go and with what compromises? More coverage is less air and obstruction to where you can put your boots. But too...

They don't say what you can and can't do with your bike. Just that it will void warranty (something you don't get with the competition anyways). And it's not voiding your warranty on the entire bike, just the part it is having an impact on. You can simply treat it like any other Enduro/MX that...

EU law doesn't make a difference between "Dual Sport" or any other bike. The big difference is it being a 1 person instead of allowing a passenger. 1 person bikes don't need to have ABS (the only mandatory item of the above list) by law. There are other than Enduro or Dual Sport bikes that also...

I don't know if the SM isn't a competition bike though. There sure are plenty of competitions for it to race in. However building that somewhere under the seat shouldn't have been to hard. Nice thing would have been if it was placed under the seat, but could be removed for competition use. I'm...
