Thanks for taking the time Andrew, appreciated.
The "internal controller" SP GM kit comes completely wired, at least it was with this recent kit. All the plug pairs are set in very neat pre molded little plugs so getting stuff a**e-about is not possible. Harness is actually different visually than the SCANT documentation available (
WHEN will GM spend the time to bring it all up to date - 2009 is a bit rough!!).
Anyhoo, firstly the rumbling noise now seems to have settled down a bit and apparently comes from general vibrations around the wheel/rear rack and is only apparent at lower speeds. Motor in general really rips along at default (
high) settings although for legals I now have it down to very low continuous amps.
Was same before I converted the supplied full twist throttle (
so dangerous) to a half twist...
actually just cut handle in two so electrics not affected.
I have an old non GM half twist throttle and may try that if I can (
except the GM neat little plugs do make that difficult).
The
RAS is a bit dodgy applying itself as sort of pulses maybe about 1 second on and 4 or 5 seconds off. But I will keep fiddling with that and try to detect line output from the magnets.
Surely the RAS should apply power constantly.
As for the spare plug ("Meter Display??") I'm surprised no one really knows what it is SPECIFICALLY for (
see GM wiring graphic picture where it is shown but never explained link@ http://www.goldenmotor.com/e-Bike-DIY/MP3%20SmartPie%20Wiring%20Layout.jpg).
As said the wiring is very neat and preset. The leds on the throttle work (
or at least are always on except when the battery gets low and the controller shuts off the motor). Basically the leds are as useful as boobs on a bull as I will always use LiFePo4, but yes they do illuminate.
Thanks again. Regards.
