My First Longer Trip ...

[ChangNoi1]

Today I finally had time to make a bit longer trip, so I woke up at 5:30 ... eh 6:00 and left 6:30 (bit too late).

Living along the Eastern Seaboard I took off in direction of Khao Chamou ... well I wrote it at

It was a nice almost 300km trip, I enjoyed the Versys and could finally test a bit of the higher rpm's ... the engine feels like it finally can do what it wants to do.

I also tested my phone as GPS but realized that the battery life is not long with GPS & screen working, after a bit of 1 hour the battery was 50% so no kml file. I will have to install a waterproof car-socket (maybe a marine-socket?).

Well hopefully next week a trip Khao Yai or something like that.

Hi Chang Noi,

I installed this on my ninja, maybe this will work for you, or one of the other setups. To date no problems, and has solved my gps power needs, as well as phone power needs.

Britbike on RCA sells similar stuff at prices that are less outrageous than the bikes
