FYI the regen is not as effective as one would hope. Its downsides of severely dragging the rear which actually would be very dangerous since you’d be forced to brake with the rear, is in many times undesirable. On and off would be nice but again the benefits are not actually as amazing as one...

I haven’t ridden the FastAce extensively but I did replace my RSTs with the DNM-USD8A and I really like it. The air shock portion holds pressure just fine, even after a fairly rough ride off road where I’m climbing steps with the bike. The suspension is nicely tunable, and frankly looks way...

8S is a spring (coil) 8A is an air spring, but only has a air adjustment for the bottom (compression)

Dude no offense but the etricks bikes are ugly as hell though. Sur-Ron gets compliments everywhere I go, except from egotistical bike riders on trails who you'd think built the damn trails themselves. Honestly, I'll admit a lot of me getting the Sur Ron was for the looks. It looks really...

No chain guard, probably why they set it so tight at the factory. Makes me a little iffy though, considering what a chain under load can do if it breaks with that much tension without a chain guard to mitigate the intensity. Kinda hoping they develop one soon, but at the same time, a 420 chain...

Dirkdiggler, if I'm not mistaken, the wires go to a proximity switch which is activated by either a ferrous metal or a magnet (most likely magnet in this case since the levers are made of aluminum). That's why when you're too close, it thinks you're already squeezing the brake and thus cuts off...

Yeah, no offense but that guy on the 450 was pretty much a newb. However, motomoto was riding on the beginner's track anyway so that makes sense. Plus, 450s typically make 55+ hp and 32+ ft-lbs of torque...something a Sur Ron couldn't match. However, it does weigh over double the Sur Ron so...

Yep, motomoto is the one who let me test ride the bikes. Great guy. Otherwise, bite the bullet and buy one. I guarantee you won't have any problems selling it if you absolutely have to. But I highly doubt you'll be doing that.

Yep, and as much as people worry about the stiction of air forks due to the pressurized chambers, air forks have the advantage of being progressive, meaning that as they are compressed, their spring rates change progressively larger. This is because the air inside which is actually the spring...

I don't know, I am impressed with the build quality but the Fastace rear shock seems to be just okay on mine. They say you can adjust the rebound by 18 clicks but I was only able to turn mine 7 clicks before it got so hard to turn I was afraid to break it. It's extremely hard to adjust the...

JRH, the RST is much more responsive, in my opinion. It handles well, from the ride I had on both. Not that much flex, maybe a little more than the Fastace, but nothing that’ll scare you or make you feel uncomfortable. Personally, if you’re doing trail riding that doesn’t involve crazy drops...

That’s good to hear. It’s really easy to access all the wiring. Just remove the front skid plate (4 stainless screws coming in from the sides) and the plastic covers, the two mounting screws on the bottom, and you’re there.

No. It’s not a brake light, just a tail light, which is kinda weird cuz they went through the trouble of installing proximity switches on our brake handles so it has all the hardware necessary... Short answer: Don’t worry about it, that’s normal. Mine is always on, as is my headlight which I...

That is definitely very weird. Try unplugging battery and doing it all again? Otherwise, sounds like you have a faulty controller. I don't hear any humming it's on.

Really sorry to hear this. I’ve had terrible customer service before (but not by Luna) and it sucks. Ruins your week for sure. According the other members I’ve been conversing with, Luna seemed to be pretty decent in terms of their service. I haven’t had any issues with them other brief...
