    Kneed Help

    so we should take all the prostitites and make them college professors? i prefer the slightly slutty olive oil myself. mixed 50/50 hot sauce. makes your exhaust burn your eyes.

    Done Deal

    make sure you read the FAQ section and follow all the new bike checks especially the saddle bag screws. i know the dealer said he did them but i bet he didn't. the guy who assembled my bike looked me right in the eye and lied. when i showed him the screw with no locktite on it he said he...

    found this in my exhaust

    my bike has seemed choked up since i got it so today i decided to see if maybe Yamaha screwed up and left something loose in my exhaust (like a tampon or something). i pulled off the mufflers and blew thru them and they seemed reasonable so i checked the header. sure enough there was a big...

    Audovox throttle connection and reservoir size

    no reservoir 2 up lots of cargo thru the mountains of Va, W Va and Pa with no issues. why add solutions to problems that don't exist. run the cruise if it kicks out add a fuel filter as a reservoir. i also advocate removing the return cable. that way the throttle grip isn't always spinning and...

    Where did you buy your Audiovox CC

    i got mine off amazon last year don't remember how much. about $75. that was the cheapest at the time. when you are ready to do the install give me a call, i have done it to two bikes, old connie and 08 FJR and a couple of cars. if you are short on tools i could provide those also.

    Wearing it out

    steering stem sockets

    well today i decided to make a socket for tightening the steering stem nuts. it takes the same socket as the cap nut. after using it and liking it i thought it would be a good way to give back and make the regional events a little better. i have about 15 more of these steel drops and i could set...

    home made lowering links.

    I've been wanting to try out lowering the bike and decided i would try out a few link lengths and see how they worked out. i tried them in 1/8 inch lowering increments and decided that 7/8 was the best for me. all you need to make them is some 6mm to 1/4 thick 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 wide stainless bar...

    MPG sensitive to intake air temp

    as already hinted at it is primarily the cold air/ fuel. while you don't want too hot an intake charge to cold can be about as bad performance wise. with too cold a charge the fuel will not atomize well or stay atomized. humidity increases the effect. the cats end up getting a lot of waste fuel...

    So . . . . worth keeping and upgrading? Or get a new bike?

    I've had three wings 1000, 1200 and 1800. with a total of 220,000 miles and zero problems. great touring bikes and the wife loved them. but i like to sport ride and while the wing can be pushed way harder than you would think you have to push it and it isn't all that enjoyable. i sometimes miss...
