    Rough idle and ECU codes 11 & 12

    I've done quite a bit of forum searching already, but haven't found a definitive answer yet. A little over a month ago, my bike (2008) developed a rough idle once warmed up. I've run Sea Foam, and injector cleaner through it, changed to premium gas and non-ethanol gas, changed the oil (because...

    Why should I buy a Garmin over using my smartphone

    I love wireless charging. I've used it for my phones for years. Even converted my iPhone to wireless charging. However, I'm curious if that particular charger is waterproof or if it had to be modified to be sealed or something. I'm also curious as to how it stands up to rough roads as far as...

    Upstate SC Tech (wreck?) session Friday/Saturday Nov. 11/12 Greer

    I'm tentatively up for it. I've got the service my forks but haven't had time to get it done.

    Why should I buy a Garmin over using my smartphone

    I use an X-Mount for my iPhone, with the little rubber spider web that you can buy to ensure that the phone never vibrates out of the mount. I have no issues with the screen and I don't run it at full brightness. You'll obviously want to adjust it to avoid glare, but overall brightness is great.

    Seat concepts rear seat group buy

    Do you need expected passenger weight for the rear or is it one size fits all?

    Why should I buy a Garmin over using my smartphone

    I tend to use the phone more. Normally run Waze with either a TuneiIn or Pandora station running for music. If I get to an area with no coverage, I can switch over to Navigon or HereMaps where I have the entire US maps loaded. And use stored music playlists. The weather concerns are an issue and...

    If you have a cruiser as an "other" bike...

    I don't have a cruiser and have never owned one. But if I were to buy one, what's caught my eye is the Moto Guzzi Califormia or Eldorado. Simply beautiful to me, but I've never ridden one. I like to have something a little off the beaten path and the Guzzis are definitely that, like the FJR is...

    SiriusXM

    I've got one receiver in the household activated (my wife likes it). If I want it in another vehicle, I can stream XM over my car stereo or my Sena. Otherwise it's Pandora, TuneIn radio, or just the stash of songs on my phone. We pay them as little as possible. And every time I've failed to...

    vfr 1200 compared to FJR 1300

    Make sure the seat is in the "low" position. It does make a difference. Joey

    Earphones

    My speakers aren't touching my ears, but unless the earbuds are very low profile, I'd worry about them touching the speakers. I've tried some mold-it-yourself earplugs before (not earbuds) and didn't like the overall performance of them from a comfort and noise reduction standpoint. May have...

    Earphones

    So did you leave your speakers in place or remove them? Just curious about the clearance you might have with these and speakers installed.

    Bargain Tire Review

    Very interested to hear how the handling is through a range of conditions, as well as the wear. Since I bought my 2208, I put 12K on a set of PR3-GTs and now about 9K on some PR4s. The PR4s are getting squared off on the rear (vast majority of my miles are commuting) so they'll need replacing...

    Earphones

    This is what I'm thinking as well.
