    Coolant Leak

    To eliminate guessing, one would have to check the system over.... water pump drain bolt, inspect hose connections, coolant reservoir, etc. If one can't determine the level of coolant in the overflow reservoir, best fill it first because it's likely way low. You can do that with a syringe...

    Auto Turn Signal Canceler - current options

    I'm not sure the Kisan will work on a GenIII... I don't think we have the traditional flasher...... needs further investigation (i.e., where/what is the flasher on a GenIII). I just haven't got there yet, have the STS unit awaiting install when I get time. Tim gratiously gave me the multi-way...

    Suspension Tuning - It's a Process!

    The A has progressive fork springs, so those need the preload dialed right in to get rid of a lot of fork dive. Stock damping settings of 12 are about useless, everybody should start at about 7 or 8 clicks out and go from there, probably end up at 6 for a normal rider. Rear shock spring is...

    'Tis the Season for Bad Batteries

    Lithiums have a hard time starting a bike when it's cold out (40F or lower). Some new bikes are coming with them OEM. Lead acid, Gel or AGM love the cold when it's fully charged. Heat is the real enemy of any battery.... a battery is not going to last very long in Texas or Arizona.

    FJR Tech Day XIII

    Let's just say there were shenanigans enough to invoke the "what happens at tech day stays at tech day" rule, and pulling out a camera was risking being neutered. Now Joe, I thought we were corrected more than once it was FAB not AFB...... but then some may have fuzzy memories..........

    2014 Stumble on accel.

    Since the new fuel rail assembly includes the TPS, we aren't likely to know much about the existing one or any other component.......

    FJR Tech Day XIII

    The lighter load was actually pleasant.......... We didn't want to risk damaging the ES forks by resorting to McGuivering a tool, so we'll just do that a little later when I get the right tool. Still don't see it as all that difficult, just different. More time for adult beverages......

    The Ambidextrous Golfer

    A group of guys lived and died for their Saturday morning round of golf. One got transferred to another city. It wasn't the same without him. A new woman joined their Club. She overheard the guys talking about their golf round. She said, "You know, I used to play on my golf team in college and...
