Lectra Motorcycle

My Lectra has been on the motorcycle stand for so long I'd forgotten what it looks like on the ground. It's a squat little motorcycle.

I made a major milestone this evening and wanted to share with y'all the status.

I'm working to rejeuvenate a Lectra motorcycle. Look back in my blog postings for previous status updates. This motorcycle is gonna be way cool when phase 2 is finished. At the moment though I'm still working on getting phase 1 finished, namely to have the motorcycle functioning and running on the road.

In another forum posting I mentioned a problem with the solenoid/contactor on my Lectra. The ratings on the contactor is 60v @ 300A continuous. I'd thought that would be sufficient for a 60 volt pack going through a 400A controller. But the solenoid is stuck in the ON position all the time, indicating the contacts have welded shut.
