BIKERNET WEEKLY PRODUCT RELEASE FROM RIVERA PRIMO / 10-09-08,MONSTER-TORQUE HIGH PERFORMANCE STARTER MOTORS–The performance specialists at Rivera Primo have added starter motors to their list of great product offerings. These 1.4kw, 1.7kw & the all-new 1.6kw performance quality starters combine many desirable features into a rugged, great-looking (chrome & polished finish), get-the-job-done unit.
All motors are manufactured in the U.S.A. and Canada using only 100% new parts. Each motoroffers the finest technology available to spin that big high performance engine to life. . . starter clutches utilize 20% oversize rollers, whereas the idler gears are manufactured from cold-headed steel. The end frames are cold-chamber die cast & machined on precision fixtures. Armature hairpins are resistance-fused to the commutator.
The 1.4kw models are great stock replacement motors that also work well with big-inch motors using compression releases. Its design utilizes a coil-wound motor assembly (motor field coilsare copper wound).
The 1.7kw model is the ideal motor for large displacement or hard starting motors, provided4 gauge battery cables are used to reduce voltage losses & the battery used is rated at 300 CCA(minimum).
Its design utilizes a permancent magnet motor coupled to the OEM-style offset gear reduction design that generates high output & torque in a small unit.
No larger than OEM 1.2kw motors, it fits into all Big Twin applications. However, harder on a battery than a coil wound starter, this model is not the best solution for a bar-hopper because there’s a chance the charging system won’t keep the battery fully charged.
The new 1.6kw model is a motor with components designed to produce 1.6kw output with a 300 CCA battery, which is the environment in which the starter operates. Operating with lessload on the battery than the 1.7kw permanent magnet motor above, this coil wound starter is the ideal choice for custom builders.
Note: the motor section of this starter is approx. 1/2″ longer than the OEM unit, requiring modification to or replacement of the oil reservoir filler tube on FL models.
Finally, our 2.0kw model is designed specifically for our Direct Drive Belt Drive Kit. Here thestarter motor sits between the pulleys and drives off of the starter ring gear located on the back side of the front pulley. This re-located starter enables the custom builder to lower the seatingposition of the rider, making for a real cool custom !

SAFERIDER project: FEMA (FEDERATION OF EUROPEAN MOTORCYCLISTS ASSOCIATION) needs motorcyclists? views — In the past, FEMA has found that the development of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) often creates two types of problems for motorcyclists:
1. The first is that motorcyclists are generally forgotten in these developments (e.g. Intelligent Infrastructure, V2V communications, etc.);
2. Secondly, transport engineers often simply try to apply what works for cars to motorcycles, completely overlooking the specific characteristics and needs of the motorcycle and the motorcyclist.
Aline Delhaye, FEMA General Secretary, says: ?If motorcyclists want to avoid the implementation of inappropriate new technology on motorcycles, then they have to get involved in the development of ITS technology and provide expertise at the proposal stage, to make sure motorcyclists’ needs and wants are well known by transport stakeholders. This is the reason why FEMA decided to become involved in EU Research programmes, like SAFERIDER?.
The SAFERIDER project aims to study the development of new devices to improve the comfort and safety of riders through passive technology such as warning devices to alert the rider of a potential crash or provide information about black spots or traffic. This EU Research project is coordinated by CERTH and involves several participants: http://www.saferider-eu.org/consortium.html
FEMA needs to find out motorcyclists? needs and wants. To this end, a European wide survey on the use of ADAS* and IVIS** technology for motorcycles was recently launched. FEMA is therefore asking as many motorcyclists as possible to answer the SAFERIDER questionnaire, which can be found in the following 6 languages on: English: http://www.fema-online.org/survey/index.php?sid=91175&lang=en French: http://www.fema-online.org/survey/index.php?sid=91175&lang=fr German: http://www.fema-online.org/survey/index.php?sid=91175&lang=de-informal Greek: http://www.fema-online.org/survey/index.php?sid=91175&lang=el Italian: http://www.fema-online.org/survey/index.php?sid=91175&lang=it Spanish: http://www.fema-online.org/survey/index.php?sid=91175&lang=es
NEW CONTRIBUTOR FILLS THE GAP AT BIKERNET–We like girls at Bikernet and for years we had a constant flow of quality photography rolling into the headquarters. We like a sharp looking girl to lead us into the news each week, but over the last four months our connections waned, then Las Vegas Bike Fest rolled around and our hopes soared. They are many beautiful women in Vegas, then we were fortunate to meet a lovely blue-eyed photographer, motorcycle magazine contributor named Colleen Swartz.
She immediately took care of us, and we hope to continue this arrangement for years to come. Thanks for adding that shot of eye-candy to the news.
