Nice video!
@@BSMTelevizija Thanks for watching and commenting
Nice work, but the FD doesn't have dual exhaust. I guess you'll just have to give one away.
@@FLYBOY-eh5th hehehe.
it's incredible how much you got wrong confidently
@@marclrx2495 thank you
@scottsgaragehtx439 still a cool video though 😎
@@marclrx2495 I was thinking of making a shirt with your comment (I'm not perfect and it was a funny comment). If you tell me your size, I'll send you one. It may take a while though.
Thanks for the video. Trying out the racebox mini s soon. Just trying to see where I set it up on the bike. Not many flat spots.
@@ChrisBriAmaya I know!! Same here. I may not use the lean angle and G data.
Good job. Put that in your shop.
I paid $1000 supplying my own paint, decals etc for a classic motorcycle tank and side covers etc, and I got back what looked like scotch brite pads were used on my base coat. Clear coat runs everywhere, like honestly, WTF. He had all 5 star reviews too.
@@striker1553 That sucks! I have found a couple of good places, but I'm convinced there are more bad than good.
@@scottsgaragehtx439 I got every cent back plus the cost of my materials from the guy! Cut me a check after some back and forth. He was pissed, and wanted me to let him make it right. I said no thanks, I had no confidence in him, but I appreciated the offer. I took it to the shop I used years ago and they said they'd fix it the right way the first time. It truly was bad.
2003 Lincoln aviator. Worked GREAT! That damn Security module was driving me nuts
Drov3e my 86 from 1 yr old 18k mi til 93k when it was stolen. Replaced cats at 90k (started rattling 2 shops said it was rod knok lol) and a clutch at 88k. Never had one miss great car! No rattles squeaks leaks nothing. Drove that bastard hard, too. Was bummed when tfhe 87s werenoticebably faster but loved the 4 eyed style. WIsh I Could afford a nice survivor now
@@gordocarbo installing 3.73 rear end wakes the 5.0 up as well. We put 3.73 in this one and 1st through 3rd is a blast.
Does it work on the 07 expeditions? Or do I need to find a different video
@@aprilsmith1652 I'm not sure about the 07. If you have the two button key fob, it probably will work. I am assuming your alarm works similarly to mine as it interrupts the voltage to the fuel pump. With that in mind, if you can find the box the wiring similar. The great thing about this box is that it is marked with the wiring diagram. Good luck.
Hi would this be the OEM replacement sensor or standalone unit?
@@jaquan874 Hello. It's a stand alone unit. The OEM was overheating on the track. It was fine on the street though
GOOD BOY
Just saw your video. I need to report the my laps did record all my lap times but they showed up on the app. The next day.? I guess it was the app. And not the track. Not sure.
@@ricflores8692 oh. Good to know. Thanks
Maybe a strange question but if i may, how tall are you and your weight. Im 73 inches and 250lbs so concerned about the dimensions and set up
@@soobturbo2006 74 inches and 215lbs. In comfortable on the bike, but the suspension is tuned for a much lighter rider. I have some Ohlins forks and rear shock coming. You will probably want to at least get a new rear spring. Other that the suspension, the bike is great.
I have a Gen 2 s1kr & thank you for showing me how to convert to standard shift. Absolutely love it & changes the ride for sure
@@mr_mel awesome ride!
Þe mirrors are original.
It runs straight off AC also. lol so yes you can plug in generator!
Good day Scott, based on what I see, your analysis and David's analysis, this was a track incident that we can all learn from. There was very little time between power loss and contact. I usually get a hand or foot out as quick as possible any time I slow on track, even if it is due to an abnormally slow rider ahead of me preventing me from running at pace. Since David said he did not have you in his peripheral this likely would not have changed the outcome in this situation and maybe you did get a hand up. It shows the importance of getting off line/track if a technical problem arises. The scariest part of this footage for me was when you were stopped on track. This was necessary to allow David to get himself clear of your bike and in my opinion the right thing to do. Super dangerous position for you both to be in. Thankfully you both were not collected by other riders. I agree, there is no fault here and glad both of you are relatively uninjured. Bummer about the carbon bodywork on David's bike. I personally cannot afford that kind of expense for the first set let alone replace it when damaged. Thanks for posting this.
@@TopSpeedTommy thanks for watching and your comments. I agree with your analysis.
Great video Scott, thanks for the analysis. Happy to see both parties involved are okay. It was good hearing from you in person and can’t wait for the next track day.
Hello Luis, Thanks for the call as well. I will see you soon buddy.
Hi Scott this video is a great learning tool. I too was involved in a similar incident at Willow Springs about 30 years ago only I was the rear ender. I was entering a turn at over 100 mph and saw a rider about 100 ft in front of me in the line and the next thing I know I'm on him at the apex of the turn and couldn't react quick enough resulting in me smashing into him. I ended up with some cracked ribs and a broken finger and he a broken ankle. Afterwards he told me he had a mechanical issue but he failed to get out of the racing line and put a foot or hand out to let others know. So for me the lesson would be if I had a mechanical issue to get off the line immediately if not into the runoff area of the track itself.
Hi Scott, this is David, the other rider involved in the crash. First, I'm thankful you're uninjured and your bike escaped serious damage and that you have this video to help me understand what happened. I agree with your analysis and I think this is an excellent learning. One of my long time fears on the track has always been rear-ending someone which is why I always stagger my line on braking zones and leave ample passing room to avoid contacting any other bike. I was making a point of practicing my vision through the apexes that morning and pointing my chin close to my bar, this intentional focus clearly deprioritized my minds peripheral awareness through the corner and resulted in me recognizing you had slowed too late. I hadn't anticipated someone losing power in a corner within my peripheral vision and didn't register the decrease in speed in time. I've done around 800 laps at COTA now over the past few years and this took me by surprise to say the least. Being dragged by the bike was definitely one of the scarier experiences I've had. You were a gentleman at the track and I hope to see you again in the future! I'll definitely be glancing more frequently to the outside in the future and focusing more broadly on peripheral vision as well.
Hello David, I am glad you are okay and not too injured. It was definitely an excellent learning experience for me as well. I have signed up for the September class and hope to see you there.
@@scottsgaragehtx439 the more I've reflected on this the more serendipitous it seems. I can't think of any other corner on the track where a bike can hide on the outside. T13 to T14 is unique because of it being a relatively tight double apex which forces you to bring your vision off the race line in order to stay on it. You also need to roll on throttle to maintain line and nail the T14 apex and your bike so happened to cut power right after I tipped in and began searching for next apex. The closest other corner that comes to mind is the second apex in the carousel but that corner is so wide that your near peripheral catches anyone outside of you. I can't think of any other corner where I could recreate this at least at COTA and the power cut timing was also extremely unlucky having happened after I tipped in and began searching for T14 apex. Glad it all worked out in the end and the bikes are also repairable. I'm defintely going to be glancing between apex and any riders ahead of me in this corner now. Can't trust my peripheral alone because its only good for relative motion and when you're traveling together on a line what my brain saw was an enlarging target not side to side moition (i.e. didn't trigger me to look).
Outstanding! I’m glad you are safe!
@@scottsgaragehtx439 Good on you!
That was brutal man, not much you could do there. Broken leg sucks, wishing him a full recovery.
Yes Sir, It was definitely a scary experience, especially for him. His leg is fine. I was totally surprised and thankful that he is okay. Thank you for watching and commenting. Also, thanks for your quality content.
It was a track incident. You lost power mid corner and the bike behind you hit you. He was looking through the corner like he should have been and you never anticipate the bike in front of you dying mid turn. No fingers to point. You were both on the line and it woulda been fine if you didn’t lose power. Glad you’re both ok. Fix them bikes and get back out there. Lol
Thanks for the comments and for watching.
wow! Track incident is what I think too. The road rash on the thigh must have come from your back tire! great video nice job.
Thanks Ric. As always, it is great riding with you. Good takeaways from this weekend. Incidents like this can happen even though we try to ride safely 100%. Too bad it can get costly. we will talk soon buddy.
Does this only work if you have an alarm on the truck? I’m having an issue with mine also and it’s driving me nuts. I don’t have an alarm and it’s just not starting and it’s a 2001 f150

@@calvinjohnson2382 argh!
Tell the truth mate That the air coming out blows to the left so you have to turn the unit to the right of you van to get it to blow air down the middle of your van 🚐 Also if you turn the unit off when it’s plugged into AC it still consumes 70w electric ⚡️ Also the hot air coming out leak’s out and mixes with the cold air And makes the air outlet temperature rise up and the the unit then eats power I’m on my 3rd replacement within 3 months of owner Anyone with this unit at home should be advanced to unplug there unit before the get a very expensive bill 💸 at the end on the month If you don’t believe me try it for your self
The set up there your cool your set of drawer as the air blows out to the left 😂 Come on tell us the truth pls where your sat you can not feel the air 😂 can you ???
Did you break yours bruh? lol!
@@markd1199 they come from the factory broken trust me I was on the 3rd wave2 they sent out You can look on UA-cam and see what other people say about all the problems
Good luck 🤞 and 1st thing I would do is pay on your credit card so you can get your money back when you finally get sick of them sending you a new replacement every month Do all checks before 30 days of buying it or you stuck with it 👍 good luck 🤞
Where did you get the black spacers for the heat shield from? Can you share the website and part number? Thx
They came with the Akro exhaust, but I'll ask the mechanic if they offer them separately when I go in to V1Moto this week (hopefully this week. We are expecting a storm this week off the coast). I'll keep you posted. Thanks.
Nice tatas bro
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome paint job!
This is perfect for me, after Houston outage looking for easy setup for upstairs bedroom that’s very efficient to run off of small generator (2000w). I could also use the Delta2 for power if need be. Did you look at running watts?
ua-cam.com/video/paoJOPy37vY/v-deo.htmlsi=HpI_W8bb5UHOUbM8
Read the comments and do your homework 1st bro 👍 good look
I ran it off of a Bluetti AC180, 1800watt battery inverter so you should be able to.
Running watts is typically 200 - 400 but it can get as high as 800. That's probably during MAX settings or when the compressor kicks on.
@@ProducerGio no the watts still leak out when the unit is switch off 72 watts 👍 try it on your delta2 max plug it into the AC and you will see for your self
How is the compressor noise in Eco and Sleep Mode? Mine gets louder with the low rumble once the compressor completely idles down. Is this normal? I end up keeping it in manual mode in order the avoid the loud rumble during the night.
Good video, commentary, etc.
Great video… I hope you post more follow up videos on EcoFlow .. as I’m interested in the wave 2
Do lots and lots of homework 1st I mean lots and read comments there’s loads of videos on UA-cam 👍
Very helpful! TY
Hey man, I know this is an older video, but I’m trying to figure out what kind of damage level is acceptable for a return? If the finish is worn and/or maybe a little rusty? Or was your socket fully stripped?
I experience the same issues with my v4s turning on roads with imperfections. What is the solution for this? damp/stiffen suspesnion? Also, youre jacked for your age, jesus.
