    Skipping and clacking at low speed

    I'm guessing the clutch plates are toast. Pull the cover and have a look.

    Any favorite front tires?

    "Mostly loaded" "I'm aggressive and drag pegs regularly" "Hardly showing signs of wear" "will get 10K mi. easily" This made me laugh out loud. I replaced my last RSII @ 4,150 because I didn't trust it to last for the 1,200 mile trip home. The only way I'd get to 10K miles is on a trailer.

    Rear Wheel removal issue

    FJ-07?

    My pillion-hauling days are winding down to 2 or 3 more years. If Yamaha decides to bring this to the States it will be seriously difficult to resist.

    heated gear for 2 up riding

    That thing is huuuge! Shop around, especially on eBay and Amazon, for one about half that size for mounting on a bike.

    Split: Sena Use

    Maybe it's not the Senas? I'm not at all skilled in techy gadgets but I got mine to accept calls, get directions from my gps, communicate with my passenger AND another bike and play music downloaded onto my phone. All by reading the manual. Yea me!

    Cheap Find - Michelin PR2 on closet-out at STG (Front only)

    Did Michelin stop producing PR2s? I was under the impression they were available "while supplies last".

    Garmin Map Updating - Does it suck or is it me?

    This is usually a result of preferences set to "shortest distance". Try using "fastest time" instead.

    Why?

    It's you. Or the economy. Whichever is bigger. Since I've never met you, I'm going with economy.

    Why?

    What's a "parts desk"? I haven't been back to the dealer since the day I picked up my bike. Circa 2006.

    Front Royal, VA to Deals Gap, May 6-13

    There is virtually NO gas ON SLD or BRP. You need to get off to find services. To relieve the anxiety, stop at the visitors' center and pick up a BRP guide. It lists services by mile marker allowing you to plan gas stops so you don't have to worry ( much ) about running out of gas.
