How can I get my E bike to run 28 MPH versus the default speed?
Tip #3: Swap your motorYou'll simply want to source a motor that has a higher KV or RPM rating than your current motor. For example, if you have a 48V e-bike that travels at about 20 mph (32 km/h), you can swap on this hub motor and reach speeds closer to 28-30 mph (45-48 km/h).

2001 Honda Cb 400 Super Four no instrument display
If the LCD display for the clock and fuel gauge is not working on your 2001 Honda CB 400 Super Four, there are several potential causes and steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the Fuses:
- The first step is to check the fuses. A blown fuse could be the reason why the display is not working. Locate the fuse box (usually under the seat or near the battery) and find the fuse responsible for the instrument panel. If it's blown, replace it with a fuse of the same rating.
- Inspect the Wiring and Connectors:
- Loose or corroded connectors can also cause display issues. Carefully inspect the wiring and connectors leading to the instrument panel. Look for any signs of wear, tear, or corrosion. Clean and secure any loose connections.
- Check the Battery and Charging System:
- A weak or dying battery might not provide enough power for the instrument panel to function properly. Check the battery's voltage and the bike's charging system to ensure everything is working correctly.
- Inspect the Instrument Panel Itself:
- The problem could be with the instrument panel itself. This could be due to internal faults like a bad LCD display or other electronic issues. In such cases, the panel might need to be professionally repaired or replaced.
- Look for Grounding Issues:
- Poor grounding can cause various electrical issues on motorcycles. Ensure that the ground connections are clean, tight, and free of rust or corrosion.
How to remove instrument panel on 2005 cbr1100xx
Removing the instrument panel on a 2005 Honda CBR1100XX, also known as the Blackbird, requires some care and attention to detail. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
- Prepare Your Workspace:
- Park your motorcycle on a stable, flat surface. Ensure the engine is off, the bike is in neutral, and the ignition is turned off.
- Disconnect the Battery:
- It's a good safety practice to disconnect the battery before working on the electrical components of your motorcycle. This helps prevent any electrical shorts or damage. Disconnect the negative terminal first, followed by the positive.
- Remove the Windshield and Fairings (if necessary):
- Depending on the design of the CBR1100XX, you may need to remove the windshield and some fairings to access the instrument panel. Use a screwdriver and/or Allen keys to carefully remove these parts. Keep track of all screws and fasteners.
- Locate the Instrument Panel:
- The instrument panel is typically located at the front of the motorcycle, right above the handlebars.
- Disconnect the Instrument Panel:
- Carefully disconnect any electrical connectors from the back of the instrument panel. These connectors should unclip with a gentle tug. It's important to be gentle to avoid damaging the connectors or wiring.
- Remove the Instrument Panel:
- There will be screws or bolts securing the instrument panel to the motorcycle. Remove these with an appropriate screwdriver or socket. Hold onto the instrument panel as you remove the last screw to prevent it from falling.
- Carefully Remove the Panel:
- Once all screws are removed, and the connectors are disconnected, you can carefully remove the instrument panel from the motorcycle.
- Perform Necessary Work:
- With the instrument panel removed, you can now perform whatever work is necessary, be it repair, replacement, or modification.
- Reassemble:
- To reassemble, reverse the process. Make sure all electrical connections are secure and that the instrument panel is properly aligned and secured with its screws.
- Reconnect the Battery and Test:
- After reassembly, reconnect the battery (positive first, then negative) and test the instrument panel to ensure everything is working correctly.
