    Re-sealing the battery

    I think this is accurate. Steve and I rotate them when we see them. The add-on that does that is too buggy to release it to everyone without explanations and restrictions.

    Re-sealing the battery

    I have rotated the picture back. It is showing the top of the battery, which has a simple rubber reusable seal. The butyl tape seal is at the bottom cover. It looks like a black mess when unsealed.

    Sold Brand new stock set of wheels from the Alta MXR

    Haha! I think I check the forum a lot more frequently than others. I must be the #1 addict.

    Bought mxr

    You might have to wait a while to get one for $6K. But I think $7K is not out of the ballpark for a used MXR. How much patience do you have?

    Alta powered Honda Grom

    Impressive! I linked this thread in Builds as well. Can't wait to see this thing running. With its lighter weight and smaller frontal area this Grom could end up being faster than the SM and with a longer range, if the new gearing doesn't mess up the electric motor's efficiency too much.

    Lowering the suspension AER 48

    Now we are talking! We agree on everything, except I do not like the weeble analogy because the physics is totally different there.

    Lowering the suspension AER 48

    This thing wobbles like the weeble. It does have a small kickstand but it stands vertically without it. Same idea as the weeble. Its CG is not in the contact patch, but it is below the center of the tire's lower cross-section. This is because it has wide and relatively flat tires. This...

    Lowering the suspension AER 48

    Oh, I get it. The weeble wobble wants to stand up because its CG is below the center of the ball. if it rolls then the CG goes up. This is not the case with motorcycles.

    Lowering the suspension AER 48

    I am not following the analogy, but "leverage" is the correct word. It takes less effort to steer the front wheel and lean the bike if the distance from the contact patch to the roll axis is longer -- a larger lever. This probably is the case only in turns entries and exits. Or when entering...
