Fitted a lithium ion battery to the Panigale V2. The Troy Bayliss special edition V2 comes with one, so this is about trying to match that, make it a bit lighter for the track.
The OEM one weighed 2550g and the new one 649g, so nearly a 2kg saving. Feels massive in hand.
Ignition turns on. Not tried starting it yet as it was a bit late. Maybe tomorrow 
Are these numbers the right way round?
either way! 2KG that is insane!!!
Hahah, good spot. I’m tired
Yea, huge difference. If noise limits weren’t so low nowadays at tracks, I would have swapped out the stock exhaust for a lightweight aftermarket one ages ago. The stock ones weigh a ton.
They are LI battery’s weigh Jack shit
Starts and runs fine. Of course, even though I have a dozen chargers and adapters, of course I don’t have the right combination and have to order yet another adapter for one of my Noco chargers to be able to trickle-charge it.
and who said proprietary tech was dead!!
Noco make great chargers, but their use of proprietary connectors is a shameful practice.
