Definitely try swapping the headset units first. I had a similar, but not exact problem with a Starcom Advance unit. My problem was with the music volume fading. Turned out to be the isolated audio cable and not the core unit. Unfortunately, your issue sounds very much like a core unit problem...

+1 He has no valid excuse for not attending. I have a bike ready for him and everything. All he has to do is buy a plane ticket and show up. I'll even wash the nasty bike every day after he rides it.

The BRP holds a special place in history along with a very unique experience. I've yet to find anything else in North America that matches it (but I keep looking!). :) I want my ashes spread from the BRP at triple digits. nGArider has the details and the route. Good to see someone taking a...

Because it winds up affecting my personal insurance costs by skewing the risk history for my type of motorcycle. Other than that, I'm all for "to each his own". :)

Sounds like LeeDavis will be along that route by mid-morning Thursday. The rest of us are traveling much sooner.

BTW, I failed to compliment your most excellent wiring quality. You must do car audio work. Materials look familiar. A ground spider on your negative lead would be /BeginAhhnoldVoice one ugly mutha. /EndAhhnoldVoice

Yeah, I know the post is recessed, but with the large ring connector and bolt head, the bolt is bound to protrude above the battery surface. I'm mostly worried about the battery going cockeyed and somehow managing to do the seemingly impossible. But like I said, I'm a worrier who's seen some...

I would enjoy having a brake mode selection that enables/disables the linked brakes. There have been times when my off-pavement goat trail segments have been very challenging to manage steep downhill, fully-loaded two-up, on a gravel/dirt road. Flip switch - go gravel. Find pavement - flip...

I might be a worrier, but I would require something substantial over the positive post as an insulator, or some good insulation over the subframe alongside the positive post. What may seem impossible can much too easily become possible in an impact. And the last thing you want is that battery...

There will be lots of folks running FRS/GMRS radios for Bike2Bike. Anyone caught running VOX (with it set sensitive to wind noise), or the wretched Roger Beep, will be summarily deflated and left on the roadside to rot. Basic radio etiquette requests that you... 1. Disable VOX and instead use...

The "official" GMRS/FRS radio channel for EOM-11 will be Channel-7 (with no/zero sub-channel coding). Carry on!

That's my motto too. Best to keep a low profile and avoid specifics. You don't want to give them an easy target. Now where's my aluminum foil hat!!!???

I have one 8500 RD that tends to trigger false laser alerts much more frequently than the other one. Strobing from tree trunk shadows, reflections of sunlight from your face shield, sunlight glare from the windshield edge can all contribute/cause the false alerts. There is one anomaly where a...

There's a bunch of us from middle to eastern NC taking multiple paths to EOM. Some of us are leaving on Monday, arriving Tuesday. Others are leaving at various times Tue-Thu. It's a scattered force at best. We have one firm plan to rendesvouz in Asheville on Tuesday morning around 10:00. PM if...

I jumped in here to say "It wasn't me!!!" Should have kept my mouth shut.

Sorry, but I totally disagree. I've seen huge $$$ spent on suspension that was completely wrong for the rider. Typically it's people getting exactly what they asked for instead of listening to the advice of an experienced suspension tech that knows that particular bike. At this point, you have...

+1 Skooter We get a lot of corrosion here along the coast, and I prefer to change plugs every year as part of annual maintenance. I recommend Iridium for people who expect to ride more than 16,000 miles in one year. Everyone else gets the standard CR8-E.

Does the south end of Canadian beer taste better than the north end of Budweiser?

It wasn't the throttle cable. It was getting a throttle cable properly adjusted. I've got $50 that says so. :D Glad your bike is fixed, because that's by far the most important thing.

Naw, we aren't disagreeing about anything. I probably didn't express exactly what I meant. Preload effects how the spring/fork behaves/feels when it taps the top of the stroke, which is seen most often in high-speed shallow bumps like pavement ridges. That's where I was referring to. Indeed...
