Ah ok that makes sense

 

[The_Abyss]

Sorry wasn't clear - it's a recommended limit for when you have the paniers attached. It goes past that although I've only gotten to 235km/h (GPS - can't look at speedo at that speed) before calming down.

Yep, I think my panniers and top box are rated for a similar speed. Had the top box at 248 kph last month, and it stayed on just fine

-1C this morning. I can see why people get heated grips, it was painful getting to work

 

[Indigo]

It was definitely painful getting to work this morning. Two pairs of gloves and couldn't feel my hands for a good 30/40 minutes once inside. Thank god it was a fair bit warmer on the way back home.

Wow doesnt sound nice at all. Makes me glad to be down here at costa del Southampton. We have only had light frost a few mornings and that's it so far

 

[tom_e]

Last Monday it was around freezing when I left the house and maybe a couple of degrees above on the way home, it took until 9 that evening before my fingers stopped tingling and that's why I'm fitting heated grips in case I forget my heated gloves again

 

[Kreeeee]

I barely gets above 6 degrees during the day here at the moment, and it's below zero every night.

 

[Hater]

I wonder if there's a market for USB rechargeable heated gloves, they work better than heated grips.

 

[Fireskull]

Ive got the RST Thermotech gloves, not quite USB chargeable but still a small rechargeable battery in each glove.

You're back on the bike?

Whats your thoughts on "Dual Sports" like the Honda CRF250L? Are they any good for beginners etc?

Heated gloves that attach to you battery take about 1min extra to put on but you don't have to recharge them. Not to mention they're more powerful and last longer!

I leave the wires in my jacket during winter ready for when I need them.

This guy does some excellent reviews and has had a CRF250 for ages. He has a few more vids on it if you check out his channel

No.

 

[Captain]

Bike feels lacking in power, not that instant power it felt like it had before or maybe I’m too used to the bike now.

 

[tom_e]

It's broken...time to change.

 

[Lakeland]

Sounds like you want 200hp now, there’s only really the superbikes and kwak h2 left!
