Given it has been 3 years since this vid was made, I'd be more than interested to hear how you got on by attaching a regular trickle charger to a Lithium Ion battery. My understanding is that it should not be done with a Lithium battery. I swear by Optimate and own 6 of them for my cars and bikes BUT they all use lead acid batteries. Please tell me if there's some sort of info you know about contrary to the many experts I've seen who say lithium does not respond well to trickle chargers - dangerous even. is yours a special lithium model charger - did I miss that? - or is it a regular Optimate designed for lead acid?

What kind of grease did you use???

Amazing video mate!

I’m riding a turbo levo comp alloy 2023 , 700wh battery and find with the right motor settings can get really good range. Eco 15/100 Trail 35/100 Turbo 100/100 I’m a double below knee amputee I weigh about 115 kg 47 years old I did a not so accurate range test , but it did show what’s achievable on this bike . I have a loop that I do that is about 12 mile with 1500 ft climbing , I average about 15% battery usage per ride . Riding the loop consecutively, without charging the battery each day I managed 5 loops , with 19% remaining. But was not brave enough to do a 6th 😂 So a theoretical range of 70 miles , never in turbo , but bursts of trail . Using the micro tune on the same ride I’ve managed to get 12 % usage on the same route, but had to work hard throughout

Watch Chris curve into the gooseneck. The car in front disappeared. Something fishy is going on

Watch Chris curve before Gooseneck.

Thank you Very Much! I was installing the Kriega and then I saw only 2 straps underneath. Went to BMW because I thought the one on the front underneath the seat was lost. Nope, indeed it’s standard OEM. This is a perfect solution without making things permanent. Going to the Black Forest beginning of August. 👍🏾

Hello I have a BMW S1000R year 2016 I want to put a Givi but where can I get it?

Hmmmmm ... Clio 200 Cup track ready ey.... much more interesting ;)

I thought that you could have cable tied 2 smaller straps into the holes at the rear to match the front ones .

i thought i had lots of lateral thoughts when fixing problems, you have exceeded my abilities! - fantastic fix and a life saver for a long journey in a couple of days.

If you watch the Kriega fitting video it shows you how to do this properly 😂

Appreciate this. 👍

Nice ride, good stats, very informative! Downhill is not free distance because you had to go uphill first… 👍

Don t need to drill in anything mate !! Just put in my optimate cabel on mine...when toolbocx is off losen the right sccrew a bit then you abel to pull the left above site for 3 mm anough to sik both wires between plenty of space above box ! And opening is alreafy theare just make sure wires go s streath above. Optimate connector commes out by setting wheel rear suspention and then lock it down with zip tire 👍...grts from belgium...

My issue was most likely moisture in the cabin. After fixing a door seal and using damp-rid no more squeak. This could be the culprit before taking things apart for anyone with the issue.

Watching this to help with my lap times in Automobilista 2, great stuff :-)

Hows your levo been for reliability? I read some horror stories but they are probably best selling ebike so numbers likely skew things.

Thanks mate it’s really helpful.

Just had some Denali products attached and there was no room on the battery terminals for the charger wires! So my mechanic put the positive to the starter motor and the negative to an earth! The lead goes under my seat! Genius!!

I have had the same bike, and used a US20, since 2018. I use the two fitted straps on the seat, and found (with some fiddling) to attach two straps to the frame close to where the seat hooks in. It means I have the four loops - two being the OEM loops on the pillion seat and the other two being the Kreiger straps - no need to open the seat. Bike is in getting a it’s 60000km service (they sorted the hot start issue!) but will get a photo to show how I did it.

I like the extra detail and paused, parts as my brain doesn't work quick enough to watch the cars under tuition at full speed. I hope to go on my first track day at Cadwell next month. This was helpful, thank you.

Can you help me? I removed that rubber seal around the steering and I can’t put it back tight

This is what's good about KZbin! Just picked up my S1000RR, have a few Kriega bags and was going to get a rack/canvas "top box". Just used this clever, flexible solution. Thanks....

Works perfect 👍🏻

I fitted mine without having to go through the tool box, just had to undo the tank. Now the connection is under the seat.

Just bought the US10 and was looking for install video. Found this and applied it. Thank you.

I have the same noise in F32 i will fix it with grease just like you did thanks a lot!

Thanks for the video. Wow! The people at Honda didn't give any consideration to people who would like to connect a charging cable to the battery. I might just take off a large part of the back of the tool kit and put everything in there, but I'm not sure. Thanks for the video.

What app on garmin to show battery level?

That noise of the steering is so annoying, now I know how to deal with it, thank you.

Hi great real world video thanks, I am on holiday in Canada and found a levo comp carbon in the US specialized site winter sale marked down from 9k to 6750 USD. I pick it up next week, having never had an ebike before just couldn't resist the deal even though it's still a lot of money. Can't wait to get out on it in the UK.

I like what you're doing with the bike. Does the front screen do much? I've done rad/oil guards (evotech); F & R spindle/bobbin (evotech); US20 kriega tail bag; SW motech tank bang, with ring. Very happy so far. I'm on a '22 Sport. Might do the hand guards now too!

Excellent solution!

Thanks for posting the video. I am picking up my MK Indy Cup 200 at Cadwell this month and haven’t been there before, so this was really helpful.

Holy shmoly! Good skills and cracking motor 👌

The fiddly bit is the reason I started to look for solutions... 🙃

Let’s see more riding bro! And better music lol.

How long have you owned that for? I used to own it early this year. Still have a few spares for jt

Cheers mate just what i was looking for ;-) Ride Safe Mr B \m/

Looks painfull to do ive just purchased a 2020 and fortunately allready has one fitted thank god lol i will look over the weekend to actually see how they did it curiosity time 😂

I have this noise on my f30 328i, Did the noise happen when turning your wheel all the way also or just small movements like you display in your video?

Nice guide, should help with my track day this week. Thanks!

You did not specify what power settings you were using and how much you weight ?

👍

Thanks for the vid. As a result I'm just going to take the box off and charge using the crocodile clips during periods of non use.

Thanks for the video! Shame you had to go through such trouble though. After watching your video, I decided I shell avoid such anguish. I looked very carefully for alternatives. It turns out, that, if you look up from below, you discover that the battery box has a very convenient slot in it, just above the terminals. Very easy to slide the wires from the top without cutting anything. The problem is, you'll never see it, unless you get down there and look up;) Cheers

Thanks for video...just used it as a guide to fit mine.....looks great, bit fiddly, but got there. 👍

By 'eck, you made a meal out of that. Rather than drilling tight holes in the back of the tool box just use a Stanley knife to cut a hole in the centre section about an inch square. You can attach the tail to the battery and then just feed the fuse through the hole. Much easier. 😊

I took delivery of my new AT yesterday and this was a problem I had, in the end I aborted the job until I found a video like this , good job 👍🏻
