Did you have to mod the charging system for the battery? I know Lipo batteries cant be overcharged or they will get hot, swell, and then explode and burn.

Ive seen if happen on RC cars.

Ive been thinking of using a Lipo, but I was going to create a charging circuit that applied the correct voltage needed (if you used something with unconventional amount of cells) and cut off once it was charged up.

Also, what did you do with the triple tree top mount as far as the finish? Mine is chrome, and I imagined it was pot metal underneath but wasnt sure. Did you blast the chrome off or what?

no mod need to the charging system
the battery was plug and play

the top triple tree was powder coated after getting plugged
mine wasnt chrome
i believe older s40s have a chrome top triple tree and later models dont

um now where did you think this motor mount bolt went?

if the joker had messed with it at least id know to look up my nose. but alas he didnt. i have no idea how this came off or where it went but will run to the bolt store to replace it first thing tomorrow morning...ugh

its a number 10, at least 100 in length and im guess 1.25 pitch (doesnt matter washers and nut will be bought on site and ill be going with a stainless steel cap screw as thats what was there originally)

I had that same bolt disappear for me.

Things just kind of.... vibrate out.

Next time you take the tank off, you might want to check that all your engine bolts are tight. My top mount bolt (under the tank, with a triangle support bracket) was loose and it was causing this horrible feeling vibration at certain RPMs. I expected to see my piston shoot out onto the road by the way it felt....

sooooo im currently redesigning a new style manual decomp lever that i will be offering. the decomp lever i had on my bike was removed as it was needed to model the new one after. ive riding the past 3 days without a decomp lever, with multiple stops and starts through out the day. im surprised to say that i have not run into one single problem whatsoever not having a decomp lever and my battery seems to be holding up just fine....food for thought.....
