It is if you want to keep plugging it in all the time. I would not wire it in there though. Modern bikes are very sensitive to that type of thing and would most likely throw up an error.

Hey mate. I assume you mean South Africa? If so then I know what you mean. I recently had to send a 10-page document to South Africa. My brother warned me that if I send it via normal post then it would never get there so I had to courier it. It cost me $200 AUD. Crazy. No wonder no overseas vendors want to send anything. If they sent it as normal post they'd be reimbursing most people. I got mine delivered directly from the supplier to my house in a couple of days.

I struggled with placing the bike on the center stand also at first. Then realized that you push down with your leg more than you pull with your arms. It seems natural to want to pull with your arms, but it’s more about leg pressure with this bike. Really drive that stand into the floor as you pull back on the bike and it’ll pop right up. You can do it with loaded panniers and top case once you get the hang of it. Thanks for the video!

@bearvonsteuben9675

That’s an apt observation. The very few times I’ve felt any slop or “gitchyness” in my shifts, I’ve chalked it up to my big feet being lazy or to my timing/sequencing just being sloppy. Late in the day kinds of things. When Spring get here, I’ll get out and make more cogent observations. 👍

It was never bad. It was good but with a small amount of room for improvement. The part is not expensive, so I thought I'd give it a go. It does make the shift to the gear nuckle more rigid and rigidity is good. I did notice a definate improvement on my bike but all bikes will be slightly different so who knows. For others it might make no difference at all.

Alan, thank you for doing this. I’ve been lazy in the research department, but I remember last Autumn wondering if there was a way to smooth out the shifts. I concluded that my technique is perfect (HA!), so it’s on to a device to effect an improvement. I’ll look into this piece. Thanks kindly!

Re Centre stand. You do NOT try and pull the bike up. You put the stand down so that both feet are touching the ground. Be confident that the bike won't fall away from you. Both feet MUST be touching the ground. Hold the rear and front of the bike and simply put your right foot on the stand arm and press down. You are basically doing a one leg press on the stand arm. It will pop right up. I actually have more trouble getting it off the stand but it's just a matter of confidence.
@ADV-Rider-Dude
4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the advice. I always put the stand down so that both feet are touching the ground. The problem is that pressing down with my right foot does noting. You can only press down till you press down hard enough for your body to lift off the ground unless you pull up on the grab handle and pull upward to prevent liftoff. I can put my full weight on the stand arm and there is no movement of the bike upward onto the stand at all, even when pulling up and back. I have to stand on it with all my weight and then still pull up on the passenger grab handle to put it on the stand. I'll try again tomorrow following exactly your advice to see if I can get it working :)

If riding weather ever gets here (snow the next few days), I’ll definitely try your method. After nigh 40 years of a series of GS, I can say that this Tiger has been by far the toughest to get onto the stand. Consequently, I rarely use it (the stand, that is). I’ve been muscling it up there, and it’s been only that I’m a relative giant that’s seen me have success. I appreciate your advice, and Alan- I’ll stay tuned here to see if you’ve had luck with it. Thanks, both! 👍🫡

Hi - I just watched another video on the product. It looks like the yellow wire is similar to the white wire on the Healtech Thunderbox. It seems that the wire is used to fire up the device the moment you switch your ignition on so you wire it up to a circuit that is linked to the ignition. How did you get one of them so early, it looks like they are only shipping in Feb? Obviously you know the right people. Looks like a number of influences have them already. Pity my channel is so small.

Hey, Alan- I watched this video, and a few days later I had a service appointment at my dealer. They gleefully told me about a suspension tweak that had come through the computer overnight. They were flabbergasted that I already knew about it. “What?! How can you know? We just learned about this this morning!” I just told them “I have a guy…”. So, enjoy the fact that Oz gets updates before the States, at least this time. Anyway, this new feature works great and is a welcome addition to the RE. Makes it a bunch easier to dismount.

It's unwinding the preload on the shock. Better than HD's which requires you to start the bike before it can be lowered, but still not great. These mfgs should make zero preload the default key "On" position. Then they should add a rocker switch like the windshield's to allow the preload to be adjusted to preference. This would allow shorter people to get on the bike and allow anyone to change it to their ride height of choice once underway. Shorties like me could then lower it again if needed to stop.
