Normally I laugh and ignore the Facebook stuff, but this guy seems to be pretty savvy. I do find his delivery and speed talking annoying though 🤣

He posted the lithium issue video back in September.

What amp hour capacity was his Lithium Ion battery, I don't know but that's important also. I already had a XS Power PSX30Q that was less than a year old that I took off my 2021 before I bought my 2024. After a couple of months I decided to put the XS Power battery in my 2024. I immediately had much more starting power and it didn't have to live on a tender. I frequently checked my voltage and checked the charging voltage and all continually checked good. I've been running it now for a few months without issue and without putting it on a tender.
That is the one I have as well. Almost to year FIVE on mine. It will be 5 in April.

He talks too fast. Like my daughter. I can't understand her half the time either.

It's good to see him upload good content. I haven't been watching his videos because so many of them were just asking for money.

I have always been nervous with the lithium batteries catching fire when charging. I don't want to burn the place down for a battery.

Which kind of battery comes with the bike? I have a 25 Street Glide Ultra coming in. Will need to make sure my maintainer is set to the right battery type.

Thanks,
Jason

Side rant-- I like Ryan, but he's one of those people who pronounce it "Harley Davison" and that really grinds my gears. The D is not silent and not optional.
