| The Braille battery and any lithium batteries for that matter require a special charger to charge correctly and fully. Braille has several different chargers that can charge a battery fully in as little as 10 minutes. |
Since lithium batteries have much different charging properties than lead acid or gel batteries, they must be charged with a special charger. A conventional charger won’t charge a lithium battery. We picked up Braille’s 2 amp lithium battery charger just in case we ever had to charge our battery.

| We have gotten rid of a lot of business and clutter on the back of the bike. |
Overall we have pared 35.5 lbs. from our bike with just some simple modifications that did not compromise the bike’s utility or driveability. Most of this weight loss was high and rearward on the chassis, right where you would want to lose it. Supposedly our bike weighs 356.5 lbs. now. However, Ducati’s quoted weight (as with most bike manufacturers) is pretty optimistic. We think that the factory claimed weight of 390 lbs. is completely dry with no fuel or even any other lubricants or fluids.

| We think that this is one of the nicest looking Hypermotards we have seen! |
We think that adding a conservative 20 lbs. for fluids and fuel is more of a realistic ready to ride weight, so that would leave us at 376.5 lbs. for a fully topped off bike. That is really light for an 1100cc fully equipped bike! That is 2.5 lbs. lighter than the new Evo SP whose factory quoted 379lbs is also probably fudged dry weight. When riding the bike, you can really feel the difference in weight. The bike is easier to throw around and just feels more nimble. We think it’s because most of the weight was eliminated up high.

In our next edition of project Hypermotard we will probably look into improving the suspension, we are researching our options right now.

Hallo, von wo bekomme ich dieses heck wie abgebildet ??
Hallo ,

Hi all I have a question.
I have purchased a hypermotard 1100 evo and have these direct air intake filters on
when you did this project did you do an ecu remap.
my bike still has the stock ecu on it and does not run nice.
If re-mapped please assist I live in Suriname South America and there is no dyno available here.
i do have some software to do a remap. I have Jp Diag.
Please help if you have a reasonable map available for me.
also some steps and instructions to get this done.
thanks
Rodney
This is years old, we no longer have this project.
