with alot of "¤#"!% and BIIIIIP i finaly have my wheels trued with some antisieze in the nipples. now i just have to wait for the new caliper to arrive with some bolts for me rear sprocket.

getting the wheels sorta true is easy. getting the rubber on is a pain with tyre irons that are to damn short (about 10")

 

Kinda Zen like doing the truing after the build, wasn't it. Calm and thoughtful. Tweak here, tweak there, spin, repeat.

 

update them wheels

they run and look great even got a nice pic before my bike almost burned.
During the ride home my lithium battery started to smoke and hiss badly. might be water entering since when my dad pressurewashed my bike yesterday.
ohwell **** happens..

 

I got those tires on my BMW XCountry, love them for road/gravel/trails, not for ST!

 

worked ok for me on the street, bought cause having a hard time getting some tires that also where rated winter.

 

seems like my bike is CURSED. when the lithium battery died it seems the voltage regulator got murdered by it. (oh well keeps me bussy lol)

gonna see if i can source a new one from some where, and in the mean time enjoy shining up the plastics so when i get to ride again i looks good

 

I'm coming to the conclusion that whatever bit of weight savings the lithium batteries may save just isn't worth it. I should just lose the weight myself.

 

mine died possible due to water from the pressure washer or it was just the voltage regulator suddenly dying

any orther marked brans of regulator or should i try a salvage oem?

 

has anyone here used an RMstator voltage regulator in the past are they any good?

 

update just installed a second hand VR and am still getting 17+V at idle even with an extra grnd wire to the battery from the VR. did i get a bad part or may something else be defective lige the stator

measured 0.7-8 ohms on all 3 coils.
