    Dash change to cure 17mpg glitch

    I had it done and also had new tires (Pilot Roads) put on. I can't tell you if they compensate for each other, but the speedo error is just about exactly the same as it was before the new guages and new tires. -- so if they did anything to the guages --- by putting on Pilot Roads - I must have...

    WFO5 Scouting report 89/49

    Rode up to Downieville today -- on 49 via Grass Valley. Saw about 20 bikes today and at least 12 of them were feejers - so folks are arriving. A suggestion to some that might want to be riding 89/49. If you had planned on riding one direction, say from Reno to The end of 49 and then returning...

    I'll be leaving o:darkthirty on Sunday morning - heading for Sandy Eggo. Tooling up and down 395 to I-15 - last time I did it wasn't too bad, but I got snowed on at Mammoth. Just bring plenty of water and gas up before you hit Bridgeport - or get a loan for gas. Lee Vining aint much better -...

    Has anyone received a recall notice

    I had the service done last Friday - my dealer called me about the bulletin, ordered the part and called me when the part came in. As I needed new tires already = I scheduled both on Friday. Work was done as promised and the functional instant MPG thing is a somewhat useful tool in about one...

    SpeedoHealer

    interestingly - new PR's on the bike yesterda and calibration run done this morning. Same size tires as the stones, but that can be misleading and perhaps it was because I have the new speedo cluster installed, also. As it turns out - either the new speedo and new tires are pretty much exactly...

    as others have said - you killed the battery with the lights. two things - 1. heat is just a stressful to a battery as cold. different stress, but the result is the same 2. I have had only 1 dealer EVER - properly service a new battery - even on a new bike. The best thing you can do for...
