SWYTCH SCAM ALERT. I ordered the Swytch kit. It came in months later but at the estimated time. It DID NOT fit my bike. The tire fit but the axel did not fit my fork. Customer service barely replies. I asked multiple times if I could buy a wheel motor with a wider axel. No response. I was allowed to send it back for a refund. I sent it back. A week later they tell me they are only giving a partial refund. No refund for $50 shipping and no refund for the $78 tax. That's $128 out of my pocket. No response from Swytch. I am now trying to make a dispute with my bank. AVOID THIS PRODUCT. This seller does not try to help you with fitting the product. They do not reply. If it does not fit your bike you are out $128.

DONT wear gloves when using a wire wheel. Use pliers and keep your hands away from it, if you’re worried about getting scratched.

I need to remove and reuse one on the trunk cable of my 71 vw beetle. Does this method destroy the pin? Do you know how to install one?

Adding a 175 amp Anderson plug to your vehicle makes things easier, especially if your battery is in an area that is not easily accessible or if you live in a climate where freezing rain can freeze your hood shut.

Hi, I'm a 64-yr-old grandmother and I enjoyed your video Chris,.I almost wish I had seen this first. Because I managed to find the small control cable on eBay UK ($40 total for the cable, taxes and shipping) and purchased a handlebar T-bar that I mounted to the seat post and resting the actual battery on a rear rack to avoid the harsh bouncing that makes the battery mount lose connection over time. My setup cost more because I did NOT splice cable wires and added the T-bar, but I am very happy with my solution. I wish more people had taken the initiative to come up with a viable solution that made the Swytch Kit more enjoyable.

Exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks Mate 😊

Your boost pack has a force mode jump start the bike actually ride for half an hour then put it on the charger if it happens again

Love my Speeco!

Thank you so much for this video. ❤

SO THIS is just you assisting the motor with your higher power than the motor!!!😂😂😂😂.

I have multiple 318's now, I have two that are repowered one with the same honda you have here. Both of them the oil drain plug is in a bad location I installed hydraulic hoses one both to make the oil change much easier.

Looks Awesome!!!

chris, is there any evidence of cracking? its cool that putting it on a wood floor, in a trailer no less, doesnt flex enough to crack it. thanks

Good tip.... the struggle is real

Happy to see another mechanic on tube using a dial indicator .. have to have on a 2 oor 3 cylinder 2strokr

Chris are you adding the relay to ground out the coils. The only way I can get the Honda to run is grounding out the coils. So by energizing the relay the coil is then grounded out?

100%

huh? and then turn up sound and then OMG

Great Video. I don’t care for those extra long bolts on the Sprocket. I’d replace the with Socket set screws that have a bite on the end. Seeing this video is two years old, I surprised that someone hasn’t developed a Cog Belt System with a cover or guard to protect it.

Bro! That’s my childhood Honda Z50 in the background! Very cool!

a bench power supply for something like 50-100 dollars should do the trick; set it to 13.8v and limit the current to an amp or two.

I little bit of draw on ANY battery will drain it over time........................................Nice to see Noco stood behind it, even though you killed it. That being said, the Battery control module should have shut off the battery draw when it dropped below 3v. But below 3v, Lithium batteries are all but dead anyway.

Love that v65!

Holy S#@t!!! Absolutely genius. Going to get a palm nailer right now.

A million thanks for posting this video. I have a 1975 Wheelhorse tractor, with a roll pin that just wouldn't budge. This trick got it out in seconds! A "hidden trick" everyone should know!

This vid is a year old now, how is the lithium ion battery holding up?

My BBSHD blows this out of the water

What motor was used for swap?

I have a hond a Honda VF700c super magna, thinking of buying an NOCO NLP14 for it

Your battery shutdown to protect the individual cells within the battery. The BMS triggered a low voltage cutoff condition. The BMS will also protect from over voltage. To correct and wake up the battery jump it from a regular 12v battery or an old school charger that will deliver 12 volts. Always charge the battery with a charger designed for Lithium. A traditional battery tender will destroy the battery when the charger starts the anti-sulfating mode. Lithium doesn’t like this and will damage the individual cells.

Got a ZT Elite 60" with the Kohler this summer. Went with the Kohler instead of Kawasaki, so I got the upgraded suspension seat - it's awesome! Love the mower!

Its not a lipo. Different chemistry. Also, the bms has a low voltage shut off. Depending on programming it will restart. Noco does ok but when it turns back on it pulls a drain of its own. After a few restarts it will not have enough juice and just stay off. Showing 0.0 volts. Open it up, hit it with 12 volts and you are back at it. Until it kills its self again.

I have an NLP30 and I am starting to think that I need to get some of the smaller sizes to test out because of people complaining about them failing or being DOA. I don't use normal battery chargers, I either use a 45 amp RV power converter or a bench power supply which in my case is a DPH3205 (0-32 volts, 0-5 amps) buck-boost DC-DC converter which I am powering with either a Lenovo 170 watt laptop power brick for mains AC use or an 18v power tool battery for mobile use. The 30 has been great, I used it in a 5th gen Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3 just to see what would happen. I looked up the stall current of the starter motor first to make sure that it was less than the 700 amps that the 30 is rated for and it is. It works fine but between the high underhood temps and the 160 amp alternator which means up to a 20c charge rate for an 8 Ah battery I erred on the side of caution and removed it. I then tried it in a lawn tractor where it was great and then we took it with us while travelling for the solar eclipse and I used it to jump start a guy's 4 cylinder car. It is for now plugged in to the always on power socket of our other van via a lighter plug to ring terminal cable from a power inverter and a 15-0-15 ammeter. Since it is in the interior on the floorboard it won't get too hot and the resistance of the factory wiring is enough that even while cranking the ammeter doesn't quite peg at -15 amps and only goes to +5ish amps while running, both well within the safe limits of any LiFePO4 battery of this capacity. Since this chemistry has a slightly higher and flatter discharge voltage curve than lead-acid it is essentially just always keeping the van's stock SLI battery at full charge by supplying the parasitic loads while sitting parked. The first van did drain it to BMS shutdown once but the power supply woke it back up and charged it just fine. So in short I'm now wondering if the smaller sizes just have an issue with waking back up after BMS shutdown or if I'm the only one using a power supply and these "dead" units aren't actually dead, just sleeping. I noticed that you didn't say if you metered the terminal voltage with the charger in force mode to make sure that it was acting like a dumb power supply and blindly putting out over 13 volts. If it did indeed put out that voltage and the BMS stayed asleep then that is a problem. I do have one genuine complaint about these though, Noco should have just given them a power delivery capable USB-C port with a waterproof cover to allow charging them from any USB source. They could have even acted as a power bank.

3-4 wheels to cut titanium seems about right, im always too scared of working on it because of how expencive and brittle it can be

there are issues when using a lithium battery I don't know the solution but I do know what the problem is. lithium ion batteries are designed not to Output anything if they can't deliver at least 13.2 volts. the problem this creates is the Honda charging system will not output anything when it sees that there is 13.2 volts available. and once the battery drops below 13.2 it shuts itself off and now there's not enough power to charge. and you are dead in the water.

Just wondering wen you use the crank position ? is that for areas/trails that don't allow dirt bikes ? Or do you use it in the stret and if so why ?

Good information here, but you really drew it out. Could have been communicated in many fewer words in an 8min video. Trim the fat, be more concise and your channel will do much better

I'm curious why people want or do zinc plated steel (bars not bolts) when its not for electrical? I've heard a welding channel say there's advantages to it, but it didn't say what those were; it was instead going over why its harder to weld.

Without the shroud it looks like a Halios Puck.

Im buying my this weekend i cant wait to try it , thank you for the video Bad boy looks like a really good machine

OMG that is my 318. I also put the Honda GX630 engine in and I have the same wheel weights. My 318 works better with the extra power and the extra weight of the engine with my snow blade. I use mine year round. The only problem I have had is that the guard that cools the engine clogs up with grass and it over heats the engine. I blow it out every couple of weeks and I'm good to go. I put a 90 deg fitting before putting the engine in with a rubber hose where the oil is drained plug is. Oil changes are so clean. When I pulled the Onan, it was burning oil bad, I put it for sale on Craigs list and a guy bought it for $100. Good video.

How’s the lithium battery working out so far? Any issues?

Nice.

Spelling?

Brilliant I have been struggling with this for a while. Used a cordless impact driver and sorted in seconds. Thanks from Down Under big fella!!

Same exact scenario except today I punctured the plastic housing when the filter wrench slipped. That’s a much bigger problem. I’ll use your tip next time.

What part washer fluid are you using?
