New Experia - Quirks and Comparison
« on: August 28, 2025, 06:47:54 PM »

Picked up a new Experia for a song and have been noticing some strange quirks and just differences compared to my SS9. Absolutely a lovely bike.

1. Bormio Ice - is it blue, is it silver? Seems like it depends on where you stand. Like that dress on the Internet from long ago. 😆

2. Charging - the backlight stays on regardless of the menu setting. Also, even with the bike turned off, you can control the menus but not "enter" to update settings. Strange.

3. Charging Again - Changing SOC limit in the charging menu does not change the time left for charging even though the SOC limit value will change on the same display screen.

4. The mi/kWh unit setting seems mathematically reversed like on my SS9. So I will use wh/mi again.

5. Anyone know where the cruise control 8 pin connector is hiding and best way to get to it? I have a cruise control relocator I'd like to install. The connector was much easier to find on the SS9.

6. The motor noise when starting or ending front sprocket motion is noticably louder. Thought it might be the chain but ruled that out.

FW 43, Dash Rev 110.

Cruise control connector is down by the left side low down on the steering head. I fitted a cruise relocator myself a couple of years ago.

item 2, no you are not going to be able to change anything with the bike turned off.  this is to prevent someone from messing with stuff if the bike is charging and you are not there.  need a key to prove it was YOU who requested any changes.

Thanks Smithy.

Specter - yep, that makes perfect sense. What is strange to me is that it allows you to move around the menu when the key is turned off. On my SS9, none of the buttons work while the key is off. Just odd, imo.
