Beat up a 95 Exploder Limited.....

So this punk is tailgating me as I exit the Elgin-O'Hare expressway last night, we go through some side streets where he feels that "he's cool cause he can stick his nose up my pipes."  We get to a two lane street and I let the pr*ck go around me.

 

Funny thing is, we meet up at the next light and I let the little zit farm have it verbally.  So he starts brake torquing the mighty 4.0L V6   :uhoh:   This thing sounds like a$$ and now he has pretty much brake torqued it nearly into the intersection.  I didn't do anything.  Didn't raise the RPM's, didn't creep forward, etc, etc.  When the light went yellow in the other direction, I let the clutch out to the friction point.  The millisecond our light went green, I let the clutch out of my hand and hammered the throttle with my right hand, wound out first,  speed shift into second, wound out second, speed shift into third, and went abou 3/4's of the way through the gear.  By this time, I put about 3 exploder lengths on him.  I let out because we were on a sharp curve and a 1,000lb cruiser bike doesn't take well to being tossed into curves.  :D

 

Anyway, he did the perverbial "ricer flyby" or in this case "ford P.O.S. SUV flyby" and flew up the road at 70mph minimally snaking in and out of traffic.  Where are Hanover Park's finest when these knobs are driving?  They're always around when I want to speed through Hanover pr*ck err, Park.   :uhoh:

 

1,000+lb luxo cruiser bike = 1, overweight, overpriced, and underpowered ford product = 0   :cheers:

Nice one - sure do meet some ding dongs on the road, eh?

 

Everyone in chicago is a ding dong hehe.  Its like everyone has a nascar/demolition derby attitude when driving.

And to add to that, every Honduh is a Supercar when I have the Z out.   :cheers:

 

Here's a pic of the exploder killer;

You gotta be embarrased when you get beat by this!  This is FAR from a speed bike.  :uhoh:

One thing that bugs the s*%t out of me is when people ride up on a bikes ass... God that pisses me off :angry:

BINGO!!!  That pisses me off more than anything when on the bike!

 

Usually after I give them a few brake checks (occasionally locking up the back wheel) that wakes them up.  :cheers:

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
