Nope again as I said they actually can't touch the pegs. I use my crotch against the back of the tank and my arms under braking....then adjust my body position for cornering. I have no idea what you're talking about with walking on your hands but Xaus is sitting on the seat and sliding the rear end. That's not cornering anyway. Not to mention is outer knee is pointing away from the tank making it impossible to hold on with his thighs. I can do the same thing when leaned over (take one hand off). Who manhandles the bars? Show us a pic of you hanging off a table holding yourself with one leg.

On the track no I usually cannot reach my outside peg at all. If I can it is just barely. (Im not that short it's just those pegs are very low, got rearsets now though). I've seen motogp riders not touching the outside peg at all many times. I don't use stomp grip so I don't really brake with my thighs squeezing the tank much. Really nothing like cornering.

Whatever works for you. But I have logged over 50K miles I'm quit certain at this point my leg isn't doing anything. Except maybe adding area for the friction on my seat or something. Definitely not holding on with it or even tightening the muscles at all. No....you would know over me......

Great....that's his style. I have stock pegs and am somewhat shorter. I literally cannot do it if I tried. Throws your theory out the window......

Nope. My knee never touches the side of the tank either. At worst my thigh is parallel with the backside of it, but often not even touching on the track as I sit back on the seat. There is virtually no way for me to hold on with my leg. I just sit on the seat and counter-steer. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about, frankly. I thought stomp grip was for squeezing the tank when braking hard to reduce fatigue.

Do it up. Mine are incapable of touching do to the kind of bike I ride and I do just fine, haven't fell off yet. I ride in A and turn 1:19's at putnam on a bone stock sport touring bike.

Gravity is just a theory!!!

Is there anyone in the world who could possibly hold their entire body weight with just their inner thigh even for a few seconds?

Deepcycle or starting has nothing to do with anything. That's just plate design differences. This article is a "battery basics for dumbies." It's entire premise is: "Check your voltage periodically during storage, charge if needed. Overcharging will destroy a VRLA." not "Throw an Autozone tender on there for 5 months cause that's what most biker yokals say to do." Did you eat paint chips as a kid?

I change my oil if it sits more than two days. Some "experts" disagree with this but my bike has 60k miles and is still running. They try to say oil comes from the ground but that's just their "opinion." 12.54 is like 91% charge. And just because it's holding there doesn't mean it's good. It might be sulfated and drain quickly under load.

If you want to buy $110 batteries for your lawnmower sure. Won't need to ever charge them unless the mower or generator doesn't or you won't use them for 18+ months. And you have the lowest self-discharging batteries in your bike. Note they didn't make any distinction on type. You're losing about 1% per month for 4-6 months during the coldest period of the year. Versus 15% per month. And on top of that your batteries are very sensitive to over-charging. The entire reason for a tender is so that the battery doesn't sit in a discharged state. There's also another technical aspect we haven't yet covered which is AGM's much lower internal resistance. I was going to save that for when someone brought up that the tenders website says it is set to a voltage at or below electrolysis level. But to keep it simple not only is gassing detrimental as they're sealed, AGM's begin to gas at lower float voltages because of the less resistance (you can bulk charge them at 2C versus ~6C). Furthermore, all batteries internal impedance goes up with ambient temperature. And finally there's a quadruple whammy in the equation. Because they are glass matt they have significantly less electrolyte available to be boiled off. -gasses at lower float voltages -cannot be replenished -retains a charged voltage much longer -has less available gassing headroom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRLA_battery

No. Stupid engineering though. What's happening with the sealed batteries and a tender is they recombine the oxygen and hydrogen inside the battery during charging instead of just venting it off like a flooded type does. But they have a valve for pressure release (VRLA-valve regulated lead acid). When you put a constant voltage to them over a long period of time like a tender does it can cause the valves to have to vent the excess pressure equaling water loss. Since they're sealed you can't replace it by simply adding distilled water. And again they just don't need it anyway as they self-discharge 15X slower. If you have a parasitic load on the other hand it will help to keep the excessive venting in check as it balances everything out. You can look at it as the high self-discharge rates of traditional batteries act as a parastic load for instance thus needing a tender.

Correct. They're the kind that do need a tender. 80% of the country believe adam and eve rode dinosaurs to church too. For a relatively significant parasitic load a tender would be a very good idea. Any battery that sits in a discharged state will be damaged by sulfation. Unless you have aftermarket mods you shouldn't have a parasitic load though. Keeping the batteries in the cold is better. Heat causes higher self-discharging rates. Battery capacity is diminished with the cold but that is a different aspect altogether. If you want to know if you need a tender or if I am full of shit just keep a tab on the battery voltage with a multimeter this winter and note it's amount of weekly or monthly self-discharge. Here is a good faq to go over http://www.windsun.com/Batteries/Battery_FAQ.htm#What is a Battery?

You're batteries aren't flooded types of yester year where you just add water occasionally. Modern bike batteries cannot handle over-charging at all (cause they're recombinant) and they don't self-discharge anywhere near the rate either. A maintainer is a giant no-no. A desulfation is a sort of last throws of a battery. It can help but only so much. You use that when your battery accepts a charge but cannot hold up under load. You don't use that in general. Just to try to bring one back from the dead. No they hold a steady voltage and let the battery self-discharge a certain amount then kick back in again.

Sense of irony strikes again!

Another one?! You have to tell me you get this stuff? Is it 4chan? It's 4chan isn't it.

O...M...G you are cutting edge what with changing of the posts. Where did you learn that?

God, guns and country™ is my culture!

Bunch of PC liberal pussies wasting MY tax dollars.

Just being a forum jackass. No offense.

Is that it? A few people, probably illegal mexicans but who knows, ransacked his place and he starts Nazi style mass graves on every brown person he sees? And you take his side? You disgusting fuck.

Haven't seen a whole lot threads about them lately. What happened to everyone?
