Sevcon is working great after a while. Had to program it so reverse is actually forward direction. Moved to a 420 chain from 520 chain. 60T rear and 18T front. Much lighter now. Also can hit 90+mph. Had a 16T from a 14T to get more highway speed. Also it quieted up the chain so now it is super silent. I absolutely love riding the bike up the twisty canyons. |
