While my Aim Technologies MXP Strada is being repaired, I finally managed to hack the stock Yamaha R1 instrument cluster K Line protocol. I used an L9637D chip and interfaced it with an Arduino Nano R4, created a K Line Break out Board, programmed the Arduino and sent State of Charge derived from battery voltage, 110kmh and 65 degrees Celsius to the instrument cluster. Next step I will connect it to the Sevcon Controller CAN bus to receive battery voltage, motor temperature and speed.

Dashboard KLine hacked. Next job, connect to Sevcon Gen4 Size6 CAN bus.

Location identified for the Type 2 charge Port. Started on graph paper, traced and cut out of aluminium now mounted to the bike. I think it will clear the suspension travel.

Short morning ride out for a smoothie, black coffee and full English. Then these guys/ gals showed up. I ‘m blocked in but I don’t mind some of these bikes are really cool. Time for another coffee. I must get home for 13:00 though to put some free electricity back in the bike. Thanks 🐙 energy.

Some changes afoot, the XV535 project has been cancelled. The YZFR1 is almost complete. Another project to fill the XV535 gap?

The current status of the electric motorcycle conversion garage.

The XV535 project has been cancelled, the owner wishes to sell the bike.

The YZF600R plugged in and ready for charging in the next octopusenergy power up.

The YZFR1 project is nearing completion.

The question is what do I do with my parts for the XV535?

Hmm, when the XV535 goes I will have space for another project. My wife is showing an interest now, she is only 5’5”, what bike could I convert that would suit her?

I had a test ride of the Avenrà EV Evo. I recommend test riding it.
