Hahaha my 2015 Honda Civic with over 200,000 miles has never had a brake flush and I owned it since new. And it has never had a clutch either. Only 2 parts have been replaced ever (besides normal wear stuff). 1 water pump at around 150k and 1 AC compressor at 180k. I have given thought to...

Agreed. It is the Microsoft model. I asked the company who I bought the AXP through if they could do an exchange for the Molecule or some other products and they said no, which struck me as odd. The recall seems to be following a specific track, they didn't say it but it seems like a legal thing...

Nice. Did you get a recall on the Molecule bash plate? I got a recall today on the AXP I guess Stark didn't approve the fasteners. The Molecule looks just as protective.

My hunch is whoever was looking at your "version" didn't know what they were looking at. As long as your bike is working fine and you see 1.2.8 and that is current you should be good. I wouldn't mess with firmware anymore if I were you until a general update for everyone comes out. Or the CS...

Given the current climate in the US if there is a plan for a plant in Mexico the longer term target market would likely be Central and South America where there is a long tradition of motorcycle culture. Rather than the US. China, India, and the developing world are the large markets for E. Once...

This☝️ BTW they may have "pushed" a firmware update and they are looking at the stored area and see 0.0.0. But your bike wouldn't be able to use that.

Usually there are two copies of firmware (I am assuming you are talking about the bike firmware). One which is loaded and one (or more) that is saved. Typically a saved copy is updated. So your bike should always work. If there is something wrong with the phone and it is not getting the right...

Agreed. I still think they could improve their margins by outsourcing more but that would probably imperil some of the Euro advantages they are likely afforded. Europe is a strong advantage for Stark --motorcycle culture plus wealth & advocacy. But they will need more to grow. The trick for...

The Triumphs made in Thailand have much higher margins for Triumph. It is the Nike trick, say a $200.00 running shoe made in the US costs Nike $50.00 to make in the US or Mexico, and they can outsource it to China or Vietnam and have the same shoe made for $5.00 and still charge $200.00...

It is hard to see from the visuals. Sourcing can often cover cost reductions and quality tradeoffs. But I think you are right something does not add up.

Probably losing some with wind resistance at that speed. Certainly making enough mic noise. Some road style plastics and a wind cutting front might help. I was thinking they were going to change to more road style aerodynamic positioning with the SM. I guess this is somewhat typical of dual...

Or maybe cutting costs elsewhere?

Coolants are more witchcraft than oil.You should be fine with a pink coolant that meets European/Asian automotive standards.

One thing to also consider besides the added protection, is if you ride in hot weather and the advantage of the AXP and other non-stock plates for cooling. This past summer (from late June to mid Sept) I rode on multiple days that were 85F/30C or more --this is not uncommon in New England USA...

All phones are Chinese including the iPhone.

All phone providers throughout the entirety of the foodchain from hardware, operating system, and applications collect logs (which vary in their intrusion/privacy level). And the communication systems have been doing this for a long long time. I am not saying I like it but we pretty much agree...

Yes. Bleeding is also covered in the Stark video: So it is not an unexpected operation. They use pink coolant which means a pink coolant that meets Euro/Asian vehicle standards should be fine. The only caveat in my mind is to not mix colors. There were threads on TT back in the day even the...

I wouldn't recommend mixing or using the orange Engine Ice or green Prestone. I think you would be safer with a pink marked for Euro/Asian vehicle use. Peak, Prestone, and Zerex and others all offer pink coolants for Euro/Asian vehicles. It is not about heat protection with the colors all of...

Generally I think you are safe to use a coolant of the same color. In the coolant bleed video they use pink coolant and you should be safe to top off with the same color. Typically with coolants these days it is recommended to not mix colors, mostly due to gaskets and seals rather than specific...

I bet they could sell them all quickly in India for low prices. Which is probably what Bajaj will do.
