Its a Coats 220 for me. Add in a marc Parnes balancer with various adapters to fit all of my bikes and it can handle all of the tire business right here at the house. On behalf of myself and several close buds I have changed 100 tires as of last week. At 30 bucks a pop that is 3 gees worth of...

I just discovered that you are unable to shut off the ABS. For me that is a big issue since I have been considering upgrading the KLR to the Tenere. I spend a ton of time sliding around Georgia and North Carolina forest roads and full time ABS would Not be good. Both the KTM and Beemer big...

If you dont mind a little further south on BRP check out my favorite place anywhere near where you are going. Switzerland Inn in Little switzerland Nc, www.switzerlandinn.com. Gary Jensen is the owner, a biker and a good guy. His inn has some of the best food around. If you look it up check out...

you need to look up one of the guys that do P.D.R. (PAINTLES DENT REMOVAL). I am in the wholesale car business and we take out dings all the time. A quality body shop will also have a source to get it out if it is possible. You may have to pull it by using a glue on adapter and work it from the...

Sure sign of spring! Watched two dudes dragging a space heater into a pawn shop.

Tom, look at the westco. it is not much more than the scorpion.

I would get a T-rex campanga. part car, part motorcycle. The one a bud owned that I rode had a kawasaki zx1200 engine and some cool givi bags. Was a blast to ride, er drive. drew a crowd everywhere it went

I have been monitoring this thread to see if you commented on the buffet. I hope you are talking about the one I suggested at the Switzerland Inn. If so, did you meet Gary or his wife jackie, the owners. I am going up to the Inn in several weeks to complete a barter deal that I did with gary...

you think you got nervous following your toolbox....How bout when they are loading a 100k plus automobile thats sitting 2 inches off the ground. Now that will draw your rear up a little tight. Glad I saw your post for assistance. I am a 20 year plus licensed used vehicle dealer and use willies...

You may want to consider a Vanson if your into a super high end leather piece. Made right here in the U. S. A. I have a Vanson with perforated front for ventilation purposes. My other jacket is a teknic Stinger. A great all purpose piece with lots of armour and zip in liner.

I own a coats 220 and the marce parnes balancer. At the time of purchase the No-mar was not available. Maybe I would have decided on the nomar given the choice at the time. My investment was about 1000.00 dollars. A well spent grand at this point. As the owner of three bikes, VFR800, FJR1300...

after the seals are replaced I will do a flush out or two on them by filling with fork oil and pumping out/draining. After it is all buttoned up, the proper level will be set and my fingers will be crossed. Hoping for a no additional issue service proceedure.

I have the full shop manual and have had the forks off several times. One time to do a sring upgrade and then again for a flush. I will attempt the suggestion to fill it up and produce enough load to pop it up. thanks for the idea. It should be no different in theory as airing up the klr fork...

Anyone changed out a fork seal. Blew one out on a Cherohala Skyway ride several weeks ago. I originally contacted my dealer in Lawrenceville Ga. to ask about repair under remaining yes warranty. Of course they said it was covered so bring it in. Well after a two week stay at the shop waiting...

You all may also want to consider the Toyota red fluid. It is recomended for all aluminum engines. It does not have any of the nasty silicates that may cause damage to water pump seals. Also as indicated on the jug, does not contain any Borates that may cause corosion or pitting in aluminum. It...

when my 05 went in for cyclinder head ticking surgery, caused me to drink heavily for a week. If I faced your situation I might be on some sort of tranquilizer medication. Sounds Like you may have the right tech to do such a P.I.T.A. job. Hope like hell he puts it all back tight and right. But...
