Hi,

let me get this right: You guys tried to "jump-start" your bikes through the electric socket in the dashboard? If this is so, then, well, lesson learnt. For the audience, it is possible to "jump-start" the JH600 in the conventional way by taking off the seat and connect power to the battery poles.

DT, good to see you have finally installed the Wilbers rear shock. I guarantee, you will feel a different, new, better bike when riding. You spent quite some extra money on the hydraulic spring tensioner, nice luxury for sure, but at a price. It is not a big deal to change the progressive front springs. I did it but still lack behind an update on my report - it will come soon. First riding experience here is a more balanced bike. I strongly recommend to change the fork oil when you are on it. The oil color in my forks were different between the left and right side, which tells a lot...

Ride safe and greetings,
AW.
