Yea i know that you had almost forgotten about me and the bike, but we are heading to an update and upgrade!

1.Batteries

So in the last 2 year’s I have been riding the bike, I love the leaf pack but in my professional career I have learned about more and more cell’s and have want to learn more and apply it to a new pack. So I am going to make a new pack built out of 33140’s for a couple of reason’s

QTY		LV Cutout	Nominal Volt	High Voltage		LV Cutout	Nominal Volt	High Voltage		LV Voltage	Total Voltage	HV Voltage
12		2.8	3.8	4.1		5.6	7.6	8.2		67.2	91.2	98.4
30		2.5	3.2	3.65		2.5	3.2	3.65		75	96	109.5

1) Narrower voltage band, allowing for more usable voltage to the end, the increased 7 volts allows me to run to a lower voltage under controlled conditions if i need the power to get home
2) More stable voltage (with hopefully less sag)
3) Mo Power baby!
The best I can estimate right now on the Leaf cell’s is that they are ~45amp/hrs. Meaning I have roughly 4KWh of usable battery when changed. The reason for that is i never did a capacity test on the used leaf cell’s when I got them. However, building my own pack means I know that upon completion i will have 75amp/hrs (70 amp/hrs usable however) meaning i will be just under 7KWh.
4) Now, with making my own battery and not using a recycled battery, yes I will in fact take a weight penalty, However, by my math it will only be about 4.5 lb’s (honestly I think I have put on more then that in the last 5 years!

2. Motor
This is one I have been planning for a long ass time!
Its just a beaster motor!! up to 35KW of power verse the ~15KW that I currently have on the bike.
Also get an extra 100RPM out of it. 6000 RPM vs 5000 RPM. Meaning I can change my Pizza cutter disk in the back down a few teeth, or leave it as is for a higher top speed.
This motor has been kicking around my garage now for almost 5 years, so its about time to install it!!

3) Fairing
This is another one that has been sitting in my garage waiting on me to get to it and get it done.
I have a Ducati 1098 Fiberglass Full Fairing and front stay that has been sitting in a box. Waiting for me to cut it up and shove it onto the SV Chassis.

4) Dash
This is one I should have done when I started this bike, and that is the knockoff Zero Cluster. While I love my SV dash, I need the Voltage and the Fuel Gauge so its time to just admit it and put it on. Besides who doesnt need a clock while driving these day 🙂

5) Another minor change is I will be rewiring the harness and adding in the mode function to allow an Eco / Normal / Sport / Reverse (thank you @brian / Energica for telling me I need reverse on my motorcycle)
