EUC Forest

I have upgraded my T4 with the shock mentioned in Marty's video (EXA 291R 1000lbs, got mine cheap from AliExpress), it was easier than in the video (you still have to grind the shock cf Marty's EX30 shock upgrade video, took me 10s); it is well worth it, no more air worries, cushier ride for sure (does remind one of a "car type" suspension.)

I was planning to check but your post made me actually do it (it's really easy) : 49.9V on both rear packs and 50.1V on the two front packs, seems ok then...I'll adjust the app then. Great wheel btw, I can now climb up and go down all the steep MTB trails in the nearby forest, which I couldn't do with my S18. I really like the tire, it's better than the CST 186 I have on the S18. No issues on asphalt (apart from the noise), great in muddy puddles... No issues with the suspension out of the box, it's maybe a little stiff (adjustment knob completely loose, at 210 PSI for my 85kgs geared weight). I have the coil one recommended by Marty, one day it will be installed...as will the bearing caches (bearings seem quite well protected by the existing rubber seal, I added some marine grease on the seals, it picks up some debris now...) Didn't get the kickstand in the box, hopefully my AliExpress seller (Road Knight Store) sends it over...

My brand new T4 is charging to 97.5V only, the charger is ok at 100.5V, so I will have to try and balance the packs manually, I'm at 70kms will several recharges from 50 60% and the voltage is still not up. Ordered the MR60 connectors to charge the lagging packs individually (also from my PV system, DC to DC).

Could someone tell me the wiring of the GX12 charging cable? Can't find my multi-meter...Thanks! Edit: so they are GX 16 actually for the T4, +1 -5 ... building a cable to charge from my solar PV system.

I blasted iso alcohol from a can into my V11 bearings to clean them out and filled them up with marine grease. Seems to have done the job...looking fwd to doing the same on my incoming T4.

Update on the Shark Evojet: I face planted at low speed with this helmet in full face (visor down) mode on soft dirt so no damage, however the fall highlighted the fact that the distance to the chin is quite limited and you can hit the helmet on impact, which happened to me. You can't really tighten the strap enough to avoid this unfortunately. My chin hurt for two days. The visor was also scratched (they cost 75€ to change) but I managed to buff away the scratches with toothpaste and polywatch.

The CST 186 is close to the TR1 and perhaps more available in your country (very available in Europe.) I am very happy with this tire on my S18 for mostly offroad and some road.

I'd say automatic is still safer (and without tether), what about a cut-off? Too sudden and shocking to react and you need all the protection you can get...even if it's a little "late", ie the vest could help you when you slam into something after sliding etc,...even if it's not fully blown up at "ground impact time".

I got those, decent quality: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003441900941.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.0.0.71d9f19c0j4IHn those also: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000588614435.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.76aa1802kw8Btd

I a replacing the DNM 38 which had replaced the stock leaking DNM 36 because the lower chamber gasket/ring is getting loose after just a couple of months (offroad but no jumps); this is poor, and not serviceable...and no warranty thanks very much Aliexpress. Going for the Monarch RT3 "Debonair" (bigger chambers), also ordered the 12.7 kit mentioned by bbulkow, thanks for this! (there are cheaper options but none were in stock.)

I managed to tighten it up, great quiet helmet now, the opening mechanism is really neat, pity about the weight, at 1.55kg it's 2.6x the IXS Trigger FF....

I got this helmet based on your post and really like it, riding with visor up seems reasonable at low speed and so convenient and pleasant. Only issue: the sun visor seems to bounce a bit too much on trails/offroad, making a knocking sound...does yours also have this?

Unfortunately, some (such as myself) will also learn that you can break something even with very reasonable protective gear and that you need to reduce your speed and any risky riding habits (overlean, "beep riding", etc,...)

Leatt makes a chest protector with integrated collar, the LEATT Fusion 3.0 BL, maybe a valid option to avoid the "one more piece of gear to wear, now it's just too much I'm not riding my EUC anymore" syndrome?

From the manual: Autonomous version (without SDU fork sensor), the system only detects accidents from a speed above 20 km/h. Here are the possible detection cases: - Motorcycle striking or being struck by a significant obstacle (vehicle, wall, post, etc.) from the front, side or rear. - Slides and falls (high side, low side). The detection system of the autonomous version uses the GPS signal to optimize the triggering situations. If the system does not detect or badly detects the GPS signal we cannot guarantee the triggering of the airbag.
