    Battery question

    It was a perfect day to ride, 84F no humidity..

    Up map question

    Good evening guys. Bought myself a 2013 strada a few days ago and loving it. It came with the full termi system on it, is there any way of me telling if the Up map that came with the exhaust was installed? As previous owner wasn't sure either as he wasn't the first owner. Cheers
