    I have been using a leaf blower as a dryer and ACS50, but that is a LOT of product on the bike. I had no idea you could use it on bodywork and the windscreen. I have been just using it on the metal bits. I only used it on the engine case, suspension, and chain. Thanks for the video!

    Hey mate great video. Although there is a big mistake in the way you've explained how these vests work. Let me quickly explain. The Electric vest has a sensor that will trigger the airbag based on a multitude of parameters that are being evaluated by an algorithm. One of this trigger is a MINIMUM SPEED THRESHOLD. Which means, if you are standing still at a red light and you get tailgated, the Electric vest will NOT INFLATE as it requires a minimum speed of 20km/h. That's the reason I chose to go for the mechanical one which suits best when using the vest for commuting. Cheers

    Nope. 18 km/h without the fork sensor. 0 km/h with the fork sensor. The reason you buy the sensor. If someone hits you between 0 and 18 km/h.

    Unlike with upright forks, I think there might be issues with attaching the fork sensor to inverted fork structures. (The Helite fork sensor installation manual video only shows installation on upright forks.) How did you install the fork sensor on your Multistrada? Did you attach it above the fork mudguard to avoid interference? The manual advises against installing it above the fork, so I'm confused.

    On all my bikes, I sort the alignment - checking along the chain, running the wheel to see if it runs true, and using vernier calipers to make sure both adjusters are aligned. Once you have that sorted, chain tension is a breeze - you just turn your adjuster screws one 'flat' at a time, making sure you add/remove the same number of 'flats' on both sides. Perfect tension, and perfect alignment - only time you need to realign is if you have new tyres fitted.

    What is your measurements and what size helite fits you? I am 5'9" to 5'10" and weigh 178 to 185 pounds. The medium fits me with a TINY bit of wiggle room on my revit jacket while the large fits me loose. Getting mixed fitting guides as many people either say go snugger and some say go looser...

    @292038119192 ай бұрын

    If you have the new turtle, on their website helite recommends removing the back protector from your jacket and keeping theirs. The reason for this is that their back protector is over the airbag so it better disperses any impact.
