Pics and Vids / Re: Riding in a snowstorm on a LiveWire

Glad you're alright!  I admit to having get-there-itis a few times too, and sometimes have had to ride in the snow.  It looks like it was slush where you were, and that's a lot worse than hard-packed snow.  Do you know what the 12V issue was?

Thanks, Don.  I always appreciate your writeups on our bikes.

FYI, you can put the trip odo in one of the display quadrants- it's a bit further down in the menu.

Buy Sell Trade / SOLD: 2015 Zero FX in Bay Area

Letting my FX go.  Sadly can't ride two bikes at once, and need the room in my garage.

The website has the full specs on the 2020 FXS here:

including that it runs the Cypher II system.

Nice work, Micah.  Looking forward to taking it for a spin.

Be safe out there.  I saw reports of snow at the summit.

Welcome!  I lived in CO for four years, and I would go with the SRF for the canyons. The FXS is awesome 0-40mph, but from 40 up the SRF rules. Also the range would be nice for some of the loops there.

Home Brew / Re: Help needed to scope out some ball park specs for a race bike.

You might have more luck on the endless-sphere forums for this kind of question.  There are a lot more home-builts over there.  Torque vs power is just a matter of gearing, so for your example, 20 hp and 11 ft-lbs gives about 10500 RPM at the motor.   Power is often limited by the battery size, so that will drive your battery selection more than range in this kind of race.  Have a look at some of the production bike specs for an idea of how battery size affects power, and the size of motor you will need.

Geico needed a little handholding too, but once I emailed them, it went through

Me too!  Seabright Blue, standard.  Working with my insurance company right now.  Hopefully not too much trouble to get them to add the new model to their system.

I have a hitch hauler from harbor freight for hauling my FX with my minivan.  I remove the modules from the FX to lighten the load on the hitch.

Hi ZEROCOOL,
Just curious why the 2oz copper wasn't sufficient.  Are you running the output from multiple power supplies through the PCB?

Yeah, the hobbytronics schematic shows ~CS connected to digital pin 17.  http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/datasheets/ht/leonardo-can-bus-100.pdf

I notice on the standard Arduino Leonardo, there is no digital pin 17- that pin is the RX LED.  Are you using a version of Arduino that lets you control that pin?

Check avr/variants/leonardo/pins_arduino.h line 198 and make sure it says // SS      D17      PB0               RXLED,SS/PCINT0

A couple of things stand out:

The voltage setting message ID in Remmie's post was 0x05009C00, not the 0x05009C02 you have.

I waited 1 second between logging in and sending the voltage set.  You also have to make sure to wait 30 seconds after the voltage setting before powering off the rectifier.

Can you read any CAN frames coming over from the rectifier?
