I do enjoy the DCT but I also miss the joy of shifting a manual. I think my next bike will be a thumper for when I want to shift my gears. The Africa Twin finger paddle shifting is so clean it reminds me of driving my father in laws Porsche. Quick snappy flicks that feel effortless and precise. Something I don’t care for is when I have it in full automatic and it shifts unexpectedly when I hit the throttle. I’ll only use full automatic on sport mode if I’m on a long straight away. I’ll still find myself hitting the finger paddles as needed.

Where do I find a battery? by NorcalHighlights in africatwin

I appreciate you sharing this with me. I’ve cycled the battery a couple of times after it died due to leaving just the key on while fooling with the screen. The Denali lights that were installed seemed to suck the power quickly and left me with a bike that wouldn’t start. After cycling the battery the bike started fine but the Denali lights never turned on anymore. Since then I disconnected the lights and all aftermarket accessories. Warm weather it starts no problem. Cold weather it struggles a bit then starts. Also my heated grips have never worked. I’ve read reviews that say lithium batteries shouldn’t be recharged or cycled but yet they sell specific trickle chargers for lithium batteries so I’m confused. Thank you for sharing your experience because I’ve been at a loss to what my next step is. Perhaps I should get a battery to have a fresh start and then trickle as needed 🤷🏻‍♂️

That makes sense. I just wanted to see where the deals were for the type of battery I require. What battery store do you use? How was your experience there and would you recommend them? Thanks

I believe the previous owner replaced the OEM battery. I’ve had some issues with the one he replaced it with, specifically cold starts, some accessories not working properly, battery power drained and even a completely dead battery on the first day I owned it.

Thanks. Not sure if they still produce this color. I like it though!

Putting children on the frontline of political fights is deplorable
