If you gonna get an ebike. Stick with a 1,000 watt 48v motor. Anything less is crap IMO...

WARNING!!! Basement Watchdog sump pump issues
มุมมอง 5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I get a lot of water in my sump in the Spring. 6 years ago I decided to invest $600 in the Basement Watchdog system. Well, the supposedly stainless steel pump looked like something bombed from the Ukraine with the rust and hole. JUNK..

My neighbor a few streets over has lines of cars going past his house. He has over 1 million lights and runs a separate breaker box to run these. Takes him a couple weeks to place all the lights up.

Testing my Mavic Pro 2 Zoom with the Litchi app. Generally, I prefer Litchi over the DJI Go 4 app. But, noticed some odd behaviors with the DJI Pro 2 Zoom drone. My original Mavic Pro operated flawlessly...

Wow, this is a great plinker for indoors. The Lancer Tactical M-4. I've yet to have it jam on me running hundreds of rounds at a time. Around 400 fps. Adequate easily for my 45 foot indoor range.

Love the lights.
Where did you get the lights at? They are cool.
Do you still have this plane, by any chance?
What bag is that on the back?
wanted to watch this for opinions on differences but turned off by the ego blown disclaimer about you and your video. Life is good man. You should share that instead of the other.
I see these bikes are definitely on lotsa radars...including mine...ill get one myself i think...was also staring at Suzukis 1000 touring bike...it seems quite nice as well...chain driven though... seems to be a bit more maintenance dependant
Can I ask the original reflectors in the side fairings. Have you made the light up or are they original. The ones below the headlights thanks
Ha! I thought that was mine. I was like when did i make this video.
Theres lots of poor quality issues with these pumps!? They have a lot of people fooled!!
I'm turning 71 in 2 weeks...I'm getting an FJR in January. Would have LOVED an R1, but I wanna travel.
Your virtue signaling is noted.. Flanders
Just found the same problem with mine. Hole is not near as large as yours though.
Yeah, I had a Basement Watchdog as a secondary pump and my main Zoeller switch got stuck on so I went to the BW secondary pump and a month later it failed and looked even worse than yours. And it never really had more than a couple months of operation! Piece of junk. I see they discontinued the cast aluminum one, which is what I think is the material that you and I had and went to a cast iron model, probably because of all the failures like you and I experienced. I wonder if it's any better?
Hi, nice video! I am looking at adding lights to my 2015 FJR as you have on this vid. Do you mind sharing a closer look at how you installed them onto the motorcycle? Not the wiring, but the brakets is what I am looking for. Many thanks.
Absolutely gorgeous!
If you are suffering from constipation, get on a Harley. FJR has 142 Hp.
Great video. Where did you get the fog lights?
I have had the same problem with Basement Watchdog. I am on my third primary pump from Basement Watchdog in less than 6 years. The backup system is fine. It is the primary pump that had the problem. The first pump lasted two years, Had a hole in it like yours, the second pump is the same thing, two years and a hole in the side. The third pump they sent me was a cast iron pump, I though this would be better. less than a year and a half on that pump and the motor locked up. Glentronics has stopped talking to me and is no longer responding to emails. The only reason a backup pump is needed on their system is because the primary pump was poorly designed. The first pump, like yours, are just pot metal, zinc diecast, they are not stainless steel, the other flaw is the water goes through the pump housing before it exists at the top. I have taken each one of these pumps apart and the impeller is plastic and the motor shaft and nut that holds the impeller on is not stainless steel. I also thing the bearings are of poor quality and the shaft seals are not water proof. I had to put my 15 year old pedestal pump back in and it works better than this expensive system. I will adapt the backup pump to it. Right now I have no battery backup system until I do that. They did warranty two pumps, but I did not get my moneys worth out of this system. I feel they still owe me a working pump.
Did you get the newer BW pump? The black one that is cast iron? The grey one I think was cast aluminum. That is the one that corroded through on mine.
The third one was the cast iron one. The first two are pot metal. They would not warranty it anymore. They said my sump water was causing the issues. Their system sucks.
@@chrisslattery9924 How did the last cast iron one do? Did it rot through, too? Supposedly the gray ones were part aluminum and part cast iron. The newer ones are all cast iron.
I got exactly two years out of each one. The last one the motor locked up. Too much on and off. The first ones were pot metal, also called zinc diecast. Like a matchbox car. I ended up putting my 15 year old pedestal pump back in. I need to take the backup off the BW and put it on my other pump. The BW was expensive to not last very long.
Same”bike” and what model “bag”
Great video. I have the same and would like to know the model of Nelson Rigg back you have. Like you I don’t like or need the hard case.
Of hand do you know which model Nelson Rigg rear bag you have on the FJR?
Lmaoooo awesome vid, manlet on harley thought hes super cool
Y you comparing a harley to your sport tourer. How do you know he's "crossing the states" on it... and sorry harley sounds way better than your electric bike. And this from a die hard yamaha man
That gave me the best laugh I've so far today. If he only knew. If the world only knew what that bike is capable of... I love my FJR. It is by far the finest machine I've ever owned. It's a bike that is underestimated because most people just want a sportbike and they overlook this magnificent bike and don't know the specs. Even a Harley with 100 hp is only going to be 2/3 the power as the FJR. That race was like a footrace between a highschool track star and a 3 yr old.
Curious if you could provide info on the GPS mount on the handlebar, I've been searching awhile for that. Thanks
Your battery should be up OFF the ground (on a shelf) incase water gets down there. Either way though Id get a cast iron pump like a Zoeller. Buy it nice or buy it twice.
Just make sure you don't get the M53 Zoeller. The switch won't last that long. I'd get the non-automatic Zoeller, the N53, and add a piggy pack float switch. Or maybe go with the M63 where they supposedly have a new switch that won't fail and a meta impeller rather than plastic.
I'm just trying to understand....originally you bought a WatchDog system, 6 or 7 years ago, that included a primary pump and a battery back up pump? How long after you purchased the Watchdog did you have the Ridgid installed? Is the battery back up pump still working if you unplug the Ridgid? The Ridgid Stainless pumps only have a 5 year warranty so if it rusts out in 6 or 7 years from now you'll be in the same situation, right?
Just a little pointer, when your not shooting you might want to take your finger off the trigger 😒
super flight show my friend passing to prestige the channel greetings from Brazil😀
Real nice flight indeed, we have subscribed 😎
Just collected a box of these that I'll be learning how to build and fly fpv for a price that was well cheap. I'll email you.
Looks amazing!
Its a Harly…. He prob going to the store for spare parts.
Just watched five videos about this gun and you were by far the most informative
Hey, I love those foglights. And like too have them for mine 2017 FJR1300. How did you mount them?
I’m 62 and going to buy the same bike , like your extra lights for safety 👍👍great bike .
Can you tell me propeller size
My first mod would have been the seat. I got a Corbin... was not worth the money. Barely improved the numb butt factor. Modified the stock seat with Purple Cushion. Easy done and affordable.
What a douche bag, passing in the chopper riders lane.
Sargent aftermarket seat is a must buy.
He's telling all of his friends he raced an FJR and blew you away at the light. And he actually believes himself.
I have a 2013 Yamaha fjr1300a. I bought it with 2832 miles on it, and now have 55,000 + miles on it. I'm 60, almost 61 years old and have been riding for 42 years. Without a crash, BTW. I'm with you, on lighting up your bike. The people that say, "loud pipes keep you safe", are wrong, since you can't hear approaching loud pipes, to any beneficial degree. Making yourself visible makes you safe. You mentioned creating quiet, with your touring windscreen, and I too have the tall Yamaha W.S. Although I found something much better, and happened upon the idea, out of necessity. Since I travel on my cycle, and enjoy listening to music, or a book(Audible app), I tried helmet speakers, and earbuds and found that with my not so good hearing, the road/wind noise are still intrusive. ALAS.......... looking on Amazon, I found the Bose Noise cancelling earbuds. OMG ! I started using them about six years ago. Them with an inline amplifier, and my Android phone, have made SUCH an improvement. The Bose unit, literally cancels 75% of the noise, and gives REALLY great music sound quality. I was so thrilled, that I emailed Bose, and asked them if they'd consider designing a system, for a motorcycle helmet. Just awesome..... One thing though, you'll have trouble hearing emergency vehicles.
Nice music . Love a good guitar riff
The grocery store on the right before Millersburg has a great restraint upstairs.
I go to Millersburg every year .love it . I like the knife museum . I also order furniture from their often . I don’t like sending my money to China for cheap crap the Amish make great furniture
The adhesive appliqué with the American flag and it looked kind of like a screening eagle design on it . I like the reflective side to it . I have 2 on my side bags flag of the confederacy & it’s reflective too but it’s a design that’s fits the side bags yours r great where they r 👍. I’m wondering if maybe they come from the same manufacturer as I don’t c many with reflective properties. I have seen block design stickers u can hardly c during the day but pop out at night
