I rented the K1600GT in Germany for three days and loved it. It is a serious touring motorcycle...probably the best I've ever riden. IMHO its over priced, at 27K when all said and done. You can buy 2 FJR's for that price, but alas, it is a better motorcycle. I thought 27K was a lot of money...

Howdy Folks! Been awhile since I posted, and considering my recent trip tp Germany and my weekend with the K16GT, thought I'd post a little ride report for those of you on the fence about trading up or adding to the stable!! :ph34r: LOL Kidding of course...not that it isn't the case with some...

Leaving today for NC/VA. I'll be staying in Dahlonega GA tonight, and heading for the BR Parkway tomorrow. I don't really have a plan, but I would like to go as far as the Skyway Dr. in VA. If anyone is riding up or around that area over the next 5 days, get in touch. See you up there!

I finally completed the install!! MUAH :yahoo: It took 3 days cuz I'm kinda slow at these things. I followed FJRCarShopGuy walkthru and UselessPickles comments for the necessary changes. I have to say as I was doing it, it all made perfect sense. I place the servo behind the coolant pipe and...

I wanted to add something else. Murphs' vacuum canister has a builtin check valve, so I'm assuming (and will test) that a check valve comming off the manifold wouldn't be necessary. I'm basically going from manifold to canister to servo. Does this sound right?

Well I've finally decided to tackle the AVCC kit I bought from Murphs'. I started the install yesterday and am taking my time doing it. I planned it in 3 phases. 1. Servo install, 2. Vacuum canister and hoses, 3. Electrical connections. I'm on an 2008 AE and was wondering if anyone has done it...

It can; I just hope it can without taking the front section off. I was looking at a post from Niehart (Thanks) and I see HaulinAshe has a method, but i'm not sure I understand it. I've got the 6mm bolts inserted from the inside protruding up out the holes, but I not understanding the 2x4 bit...

Well...it finally happend! :dribble: I've forgotten the kickstand before, but usually save it; not this time. She hit the tipping point and over she went. Hurt my back trying to upright it again. Landed on the slider, so no real damage to the side, but left mirror is toast...to the point that...

Just wanted to check back in and report that I checked the rim and the heavy spot was marked and the balance dot on the tire lined up and it was balanced without any added weights!! :yahoo:

That's good information - Thanks Guys! :D

Thought I'd give a report on the Angel ST and some related stuff revolving around that subject. First of all I decided to say goodbye to commercial tire mounting establishments (aka Dealers, Cycle Gear (CG)...etc.) and bought a Cycle Hill tire changer with balancer. It came with a hitch mount...

Newb from Jax. I may be riding down tomorrow afternoon.(Sat). I've been many times, but never at night! Anybody riding down from NE Florida? I haven;t met anyone yet, so another outsider to join the outsider. :) -Mark

Thanks for all the input. I recall calling D&H a while back and they did not offer to call in the change for me, but told me I had to change my address in the system before they could process the warranty request. I did call Yamaha and they stated that I needed to change the address with the...

Thanks again. I may be screwed if D&H doesn't take credit cards and I believe I read that they don't. Maybe I could overnight a check and still save hundreds!!!

Thanks for the tip. I wonder if I can get that done by Thursday of this coming week. Is the number on Yamaha's website?

Hey Guys, first I want to say thanks to everyone for the forum and the invaluable information it provides!! Now to my question. My warranty is about ot expire and I'm contemplating the Y.E.S program, but I live in Florida and cannot buy a warranty from D&H for 389, like so many have already...
