Got a chance to try it out and it’s seriously impressive. Boosting my v-twin lawn tractor with a flat battery (completely dead cell battery that requires replacement) I’ve never seen that mower turn over so fast. Used the compressor attachment in my dirtbikes air forks as my usually hand pump...

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up ordering this Wolfbox 4000a boost/compresser: https://ca.wolfbox.com/products/jump-starter-with-air-compressor-tire-inflator-wolfbox-megavolt-24air 4000a should be overkill for anything I require but having the extra juice and larger battery is nice. They...

I have the Genius5 one and it's great that the $75 charger can take care of regular LA, AGM, and Lithium batts, all of which we have on site. It wouldn't repair the LA that suddenly went flat in my lawn tractor but neither would my Ctek.

I have a pair of Joe Rocket kevlar lined jeans with removable knee pads I've only worn once I'd sell if you're interested. Got them to replace my first identical pair that lasted 10yrs and around 150,00km's. I'm switching to a more ADV type pant. All-day comfortable and look like regular jeans...

No, I get "the look" when I use the good household vacuum in the garage.

I wore out the oem rear AX41 tire on my 1290SAR in 2000km. I switch to Rally mode with no TC when I leave the pavement but I have to run the bike in Sport mode (TC on but near minimum) on pavement otherwise the rear knobby leaves part of itself behind without me even knowing it.

Fixed.

Yes it can do all those things but "relative comfort" will vary depending on your definition. It's a wider dirtbike seat afterall.

My buddy rides a mid-sized Adv and always uses the left peg to get on due to a previous MC collision limiting leg/hip movement. He does the same with his dirtbike. The guy should be operating a Miata instead but he's stubburn.

Only Hyper I rode was the older 821 and it was fun for a short while but not something I want if I'm actually leaving town. Monster 1200S was superior in every way except for hooliganism.

The problem with using the right peg is if the bike is close to the balance point and goes past it as you step on the right peg and swing your left leg over the bike you'll likely fall over before you get your right back off the peg down.

Yes I would keep the digital copy on my laptop to make changes but not for routine lookups.

Which size do you have? I read reviews on a different 3000a combo one that said it wouldn't start a truck but failed to say the size of the motor involved.

I'm also trying to avoid having to go into my phone for any of these as I usually have gloves on while working on something so not having to remove them to look up a note/spreadsheet works better for me.

Agreed. You'll just see how a bike is between stoplights all the while hoping that another rider doesn't take you out whilst they're fiddling through settings on their bikes screen. Have a one-one with a salesman to let them know know you're a serious buyer and not just looking to joyride...

It will certainly be interesting to see if a typical insured party will be able to save money with these changes or if they get hosed. I suspect the latter but I'm an optimistic person so I'll wait and see.

Are any of those $100-150 combo jumpstart/inflater packs decent enough to start a typical car battery? Seems the name brand one's all start at $300+.

I'm slowly completing a Word doc with all the torque/pressure/socket size/capacity for all my maintenance items as same as you instead of having to google it each time. When done I'll stick in inside my tool chest top.

Well it's the only part of the house that I have a say in :)

String. The package was still sealed so maybe I'll pop the remaining strings in a ziplock to keep them gooey. I don't think the one that came in my Ducati has been opened yet either but now that you mention it I better check their condition. I took it out of my Duc when I sold it and it's now in...
