As promised in Winter update #3, I have a to-do list I need to check off... This is the status:

* Fix blinker issue
Blinkers are FIXED =D
* Buy and install new battery
Old battery works like a charm for now, after a proper charge...
* Fix more rotten hoses
Again: Nothing done as of yet. This is fiddle work.  have, however, bought the replacement hoses =)

* Buy and mount top box break light
I have ordered this, and It is something I can do a lot of the work on indoors. I will probably do the mounting on the bike at the same time as I fix the back blinkers. That would we if I had gotten the damn things yet...

* Buy a loud-ass horn

The horn is mounted! This is a separate blog post =D

*Change oil
DONE! Quite easy!
* Change oil filter
DONE! Also quite easy

* Clean properly
Umm... Soon?

* Buy new helmet
Got a new helmet from Schuberth. It is a great helmet, and it deserves a post review of its own!
* Buy new trousers
My old trousers went in the seams.. And I got a nice replacement from Joffama! It will be covered in a post of its own this too...

More to come =D

SRC-Upgrade

Before first time use it is recomended to upgrade the SRC unit from Schuberth.

It is one file to download and run from the website, and it provides this interface on first time startup:

I will connect the SRC, and see what happens!














The unit auto-installs in Windows 7, and the programs starts up!

First impression: Impressive!

Apparently you can do more than just update the headset. Let us, however, try that first!

Luckily (?) I had the newest version, so not that much fun.. Let us see what else we can do! At least we can set radio frequencies...

These are the channels I have in my car.. I put them in, and we'll see if I'll change it later =)
















I also activated RDS and VOX audio enhancer, and I am VERY eager to test this in the future, but ALAS! winter has not yet let go =(

Winter update #6

Look what the cat dragged in:

Or cat is maybe an incorrect name.. My friend went to Germany, and picked up this little unit for me.

It is prehaps not a surprise that I have decided on a helmet from Schuberth, and I wanted this set. Why you may inquire? Several reasons: The helmet I wanted because I recently tried it on at the MC convention just outside Oslo, and with some help from a representative from Schuberth, I found the helmet to be damn near perfect. It is lightweight, it is yellow and it is small. AND: It comes with this fancy "in-helmet" audio-gear, with build in RDS radio, Bluetooth and bike to bike functionallity.

My autocom has very good sound quality, but it is VERY annoying to deal with the placement of the velcro-attached earpieces that dig into your head. Also, I think it pulls a bit of power even when it is powered off.

All in all I think this is the better solution...

I haven't got the actual helmet yet, but I will prepare the SRC system for my first ride, by upgrading the firmware...

Yes, all nine readers of this blog: The helmet has a firmware update function =)

Stay tuned!
