General Discussion / Royal Enfield Demo Event at TWO.
« Last post by twowheeladdict on Today at 09:33:53 AM »
Where:  Two Wheels Only, Suches, GA.
When:  April 6th and 7th.  10:00-4:00.

I’ve heard that they are bringing the full demo fleet. 

There are no boring roads around Suches so you will really get to test out the bikes. 

Wish I could get there, but not in the cards at this time.


If interested please verify this information with TWO.

Not exactly the same but the original Bosch starter on my CX would never crank consistently so I replaced it with a Valeo but the Bosch starter worked perfectly fine on my 1000S so it sat on the shelf until I acquired the Lemans and it works fine on that bike. I assume it must be the ring gear but it’s never been an issue with the Valeo.

I can understand the idea of the gear not disengaging from the flywheel, but it blows my mind that the starter motor would have enough braking power to prevent the motor from running faster than starter speed.

I would have thought that the engine would simply over power the starter.

What are the odds?  The motor actually is running, but at the same exact rpm as the starter, so essentially it seems like the motor is not running!!

It would have been fascinating to put a volt meter and ammeter on the battery and if the starter was drawing almost no current since the engine was actually running.

What a cool experiment.  Drive for miles and miles as long as your thumb is on the starter button......

Just keep a close eye on the weather in May.  I've been snowed on (motorcycle) in Bryce Canyon and had to flee to lower elevations, and one May I was completely caught out on I-15 near Beaver, Utah.  Rain turned into a complete blizzard.  Had to abandon the bike in a roadside rest area.  Thought I might be spending the night in the men's room (heated, thank goodness! :tongue:) but a friendly trucker took me into Cedar City for a motel room overnight.  By noon the next day, the roads were clear again, the hotel manager was kind enough to drive me out to my bike, and I was able to continue on my way.  The point of all this is the weather can change out west with little warning.  It's the elevation that gets you.
