BTW, same thing happened to my battery pack. I’ve done at least 30 cycles since then without fixing anything and it’s still working fine, only with reduced capacity. It’s possible to live with it as long as you keep an eye on the voltages while charging and stop charging at the right time. In my case, once the weaker P-group reaches 4.2V, the other p-groups are at 4.1V, at which point I just stop charging. I don’t balance.
Sorry man. I keep hoping you’re going to get an uninterrupted period of time to ride and enjoy all your hard work and sacrifice, but luck has other plans. Hang in there!
I can’t speak for them or their rationale, but you want leathers and Kevlar pant to fit tight. The looser it is the more likely you’ll get road rash just from the fabric dragging on you.
I totally get wanting to support an ESK8 brand as well, but there are plenty of motorcycle gear companies that make stylish and incognito Kevlar pants. They have plain denim jeans that have pads and Kevlar.
