Energica / Re: Your feedback on the traces on my front brake discs

It's a (semi) floating rotors.  It has some natural play.  How are you measuring runout?

Has anyone removed the AC charger - and had the bike continue to function without errors?

Energica / Re: Lifting an eva ribelle for wheels removal

Generally one doesn't service a sealed wheel bearing.  By the time you pull them, and pop the seals to thoroughly clean, you've caused race and seal damage that only accelerates their wear.  If sealed bearings have a problem, it's better to just pull and replace.

The Livewire solution just adds more hardware and a reverse problem.  The LIVEWIRE OBC circuit that maintains the 12vdc is a failure point, often requiring OBC replacement, and/or 12vdc  battery charging, and 12vdc battery replacement.

Using the Livewire12vdc battery for anything more than it's intended purpose of energizing the RESS circuitry at turn on, and running core bike electronics, can add to the problem.

Personally I think the Energica solution is more elegant.

I think you want to measure your pistons.  If you have OEM  Energica calipers, I'd expect you have 34mm pistons.

That number is a production batch code not a bore size.  For instance on my 19, its marked with "22".

Brembo would spec a 19 for a dual caliper 34mm piston setup, and a 17 m/c for a dual 30. 

Brembo would say that a 14 is for a single caliper setup and will pull to the handlebar before stopping a dual caliper bike.

The Corsa brochure says M4 calipers.  But also 32/36 pistons, 108mm bolt spacing, and 7.1 mm rotors.  That sure sounds like a GP4.

My bike came with 5mm rotors, and I've moved to 6mm - but I'd never fit 7mm rotors.

Maybe Aaron can chime in....

I've a 2023 Ego+ RS.  It isn't a Clienti.

The bike has Marzocchi forks and Brembo 20.9883 (left) and 20.9884 (right) monoblock calipers.

The calipers have 100mm bolt spacing and four 34 mm pistons.

I have a 19 M/C.

I thought the Eva and Ego shared brake parts?  But maybe a difference in years?

Have you measured your pistons?

I think my Ego has 34mm M4 calipers.  Does the Ribelle have different hardware?

Energica / Re: Insurance coverage... any changes yet?
« on: February 19, 2025, 05:46:40 PM »
No insurance change here.

But why not just ask them how they determine value for a vehicle that is out of production and for which repair parts may be limited?

All insurance companies do it, and it may vary slightly depending on your state, or the country that one is in.  In the end, they'll likely just make a determination of fair market value depending on its pre-accident miles, condition and depreciated value....

"B" is a historically common identifier for Battery voltage.

I think on forks, the internet gurus run the mm of sag together with the % of compression - without talking about the fact that the fully extended lower fork tube is just that - it's just a reference point not the travel.  The fork tubes do not fully compress to the end. 

So, for instance, with my Ego+ RS with Marzocchi forks, the fully extended forks measure at about 150mm - but the spec'd travel for the forks is only 4.33" = 110mm

Most of the percent of travel measurements out there seem to be based on the fairly common 110mm of fork travel of many forks.

I'm at the opposite end of the scale though from Smithy - I need heavier fork springs to get to my desired 30mm of front sag.
