    Electro-Farkling 2016

    It was “indicators” that tripped me up. I have never thought of the turn signals as DRL’s. To me they are side marker lights and turn signals. In Canada, this lamp is lit at half intensity while the ignition is on, and full intensity when flashing (signaling). If I understand, this is the...

    Electro-Farkling 2016

Are these the lamps you are asking about? If yes, all I know is what Yamaha has told me. - "Active" LED cornering lights with special IMU. a...

The issue is that machines over a certain age tend to have more instances of stripped threads, bad fasteners, bush fixes, rusty bits, etc. When the service tech runs into these problems, and the...

    Read a few of the many posts on this topic and you see numbers that group around 50 miles/80 km. As many have said - ‘your mileage may vary. . . . .” -Steve

    FJR1300 To Be Retired

    Installing power sockets

    The only USB products I have ever seen that are truly waterproof are marine grade, like this. Not really motorcycle oriented, perhaps one could be fitted inside the ‘glovebox’. -Steve

    Metzeler Roadtec 01 Comments

    9000 miles later There is a ridge in the center, more pronounced on the left side than the right. Perhaps the very center of the tire has a harder compound? About 3mm of tread depth. The rear, as usual for me, has plenty of life left, and even wear across. About 4mm of tread depth now. Didnt...

    Could be Epic

    Last day About 265 miles. The Wildhorse Overlook is always worth the ride thru what is the worst part of I90, after the Snoqualmie Pass. A little rain, and home again. Back to real life. 8925 miles total, 43 mpg overall. The Metzler Roadtec HWM’s appear to have held up well. They had about...
