Ahh the joys of being able to do bike maintenance in the living room!

Oh god yes, endless cups of tea, and no wind or rain to contend with lol! Thanks for the comment and channel support buddy, it’s greatly appreciated! Out of curiosity, is there any part of the video you particularly liked, or had any questions about? 👍

[@jamielewis7809]

No trolly I liked the music you seem like a friendly easy going guy in the vids I'm just trying to find out about 1098s at the moment Did you get a discount from ducatimondo?

[@RollinThundervlogs]

@@jamielewis7809 I’m more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the 1098s, so fire away lol, unfortunately I didn’t get a discount from Ducati mondo, but to be fair, their prices are pretty reasonable to start with. Thanks again for the comments 👍👍👍

@@RollinThundervlogs cheers are all your vids shot around Kingston Surbiton sort of way? Can you ride the 1098 in the wet ? Have you fitted a slipper clutch do you have problems with corrosion? Are you tall I sat on one recently and it looked quite small under me Sorry for so many questions 😅

[@RollinThundervlogs]

@@jamielewis7809 no worries about the questions buddy, that’s what I’m here for lol! I will admit that I do ride around those areas quite a bit as it’s near my place of work. I do ride in the rain if I have too, there’s a few vlogs where I’ve been caught out in some pretty heavy rain. As far as corrosion goes, I’ve not had any that I can think of. With regards to the actual ride height, I’m around 6ft tall, and I can flat foot both sides pretty much, but the overall feel of the bike underneath you should feel more narrow than anything else considering it is a L twin which makes it extremely agile, and no slipper clutch, yet lol! Hope that helps 👍

Dude I have a lithium ion battery in my 2010 rsv4 factory that, unless the original owner was lying, is probably 8 or 9 years old! On a side note I am working a deal on an '08 1098r that I had the winning bid on but didn't meet the reserve. The auction house has agreed to sell her to me on F'n LAYAWAY! BAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[@RollinThundervlogs]

Thanks for the comment. I’m loving the weight savings from getting a lithium ion battery, it’s insane! And depending on the condition of the 1098r, I say go for it! 👌

How much the volt and currency of this battry?

[@RollinThundervlogs]

Thanks for the comment, the battery in the video was showing between 12.8 and 13.5 volts, but since posting this video, I have invested in a shido lithium ion battery that has better voltage retention of between 13.8 and 14.2 volts
