    Battery draining...

    Turns out the issue was the charger, it was what was dead. Got a new one, battery is showing 13.3v after sitting on it overnight. But it's still not starting, it'll crank and almost fire, but can't quite catch. Thought perhaps the fuel had gone bad (it's been sitting for a week and a half)...

    Battery draining...

    Just checked the voltage on it, it's showing about 12v. Put the charger in "jump" mode and it's still doing the same dead battery symptoms (slow cranking, not starting, clearing trip odo and clock, etc.)...still sound like a battery issue or could it be something else?

    Battery draining...

    I've got an 05 that's having some battery issues. For the last few weeks it's been acting like the battery is low or dead. Had the battery checked, it's good, just needing a charge. Left it on the charger overnight, it's still wouldn't start the bike. The only goodies I've added are a usb...

    Error 13/14

    Last week after riding about 40 miles, my bike (05) started acting like I had put some bad gas in it, sputtering, trying to die, etc. After doing that for about 10 miles, the engine died, but was able to be coaxed back to life. I stopped, topped it off (about 2 gallons), and continued on my...

    Brake bleeding on an 05

    Yes, standard bleeding procedure, squeeze lever, open screw, let air/fluid out, close screw, release lever, repeat. No real problems with brakes before, just seemed like a good time to replace the fluid. When I say no brakes, I mean, a small amount of feedback when lever is 3/4 of the way to...

    Brake bleeding on an 05

    Am I missing something here? I've bled both front calipers, there's no air in the line that I can tell and I still don't have front brakes...I don't have speed bleeders or a mityvac. Is there some technique I'm supposed to use or should I just hang up the wrenches (or, in this case, the tube...

    iphone Mapping program

    I used this one from Ram for my Evo, holds an iPhone well too. https://www.ram-mount.com/CatalogResults/PartDetails/tabid/63/partid/082065077045072079076045085078052085/Default.aspx For mapping, you could try Copilot. You can create routes in Google Maps then save them to your phone. You...

    Tried my Droid X car dock

    Yep, this one (I think) https://www.ram-mount.com/NewProducts/FingerGripMount/tabid/1872/Default.aspx It works like a champ, the phone is completely stable even at triple digits...I had to remove the top bracket so that I could get to the headphone jack, but that had no effect on it. Plus...

    Tried my Droid X car dock

    I'm running my EVO as GPS and a music player (Pandora, FM radio, MP3s.) The phone is on one of the ram mount phone holders (can't remember what they call it) on the left side w/a usb cable and a headset extension running down the bars. The usb cable plugs into a waterproof usb port for...
