I just put a Shorai, lithium iron battery in mine. Expensive, ultra light. Working well so far. All the other batteries I've had in it before started giving me problems within 12 months, 18 max. H ...

The left channel on my K11LT had gone out. It had been flaky for some time, I figured the speaker was blown. But it died after the fairing replacement/painting job that CalMoto in Mtn View screwed u ...

Do you still have to remove the exhaust?
