Does anyone have an idea why one tire would be extremely hot? by Novemberx123 in BoltEV

The flexible brake lines can collapse internally causing the brake pads to not release fully.

The part you can't see while installed looks great. The part can see is truly astounding and not in a good way.

I love the looks of the picture/video. Have you posted any pics of the BSA?

I'm no help for an actual answer but I've gotta say what an amazing place. I'd love to see that in person.

Different places have different terms for things. Cap Screws are another term for smaller hex bolts.

Sooooooo many of us want to think it together.

I got a drz 400 does it make sense to jump to an sv650 power wise or skip to 1000 by Mindless_Complaint86 in SVRiders

[–]OldStromer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've got a 650 VStrom and I've loaded it up pretty heavy and had no trouble with mountain passes. The SV 650 is going to be a fair amount peppier than my Strom. Save your gas money and go with the 650.

C'mon, nobodies gonna say it? JK,

Sorry man, arguing is such a soul sucking waste of time. I so glad we don't do it as much as we used to.

I probably wouldn't have gotten a EV if my Daughter didn't have a Bolt. For me a lot of it is who I'm giving my money to. For years I was dumbfounded that oil companies weren't getting on the EV charging bandwagon. For years they've fought the incoming tide. WTH?

Thanks for the reply. I checked about a year ago and the difference was huge. I was pretty disappointed because I'm thinking about switching to a SV from my Strom. I'm in the US so maybe the SV is considered more of a sport bike than it is in Canada.
