    Bike won't hold idle

    I had the identical situation when I had my ticker "fixed". I picked up the bike, immediately noticed unusual cam chain noises & it refused to idle when warm. Brought it right back to the dealership & was told that, even though they'd just had my bike for 4 months to fix the ticking, I would...

    Am i the only one that missed the whole iron butt principal

    Where, oh WHERE!?!? :hyper: That is awesome! The hubby has been wracking his brain for a good, honest, awesome answer to my IBA/IBR plates. He pledged his unflagging committment to the CandyAss credo the moment he dragged himself out of bed at at the crack of noon and I showed him this...

    Lake Isabella and the Kern River Canyon

    If some of you guys are still going to make it up here, let me know - We're always looking for an excuse to pull out the smoker for pulled pork, tri-tip, ribs, etc etc etc... Or at the very least, swing on into the shop and say Hi!

    Lake Isabella and the Kern River Canyon

    So far it's looking like most of the local guys have previous commitments that weekend. :glare: A few people are available, but we may have to reschedule the full-on IBR reunion for another weekend. Oh, well - won't make this trip any less fun!

    Sampson Fuel Cell - Not the Taildragger

    Didn't realize my hubby had logged me out & logged himself in - now lets try this under my login! If a group buy is still in the works, count me in! I don't think running the IBR without aux was a detriment until Leg 3, when I entered ethanol country and my fuel economy dropped by as much as...

    Lake Isabella and the Kern River Canyon

    Thanks all! I had enough luck on my side on the first two legs to carry me through some... "hiccups"... on leg three. There were a lot of guys who did some great rides who just got unlucky, so I'm just thrilled to have finished! We're going to be having a SoCal/CenCal IBR reunion BBQ up...

    Iron Butt Rally, Check Point2, Santa Ana CA 8-30-2009

    I'm impressed that you managed to catch me with that ridiculous look on my face TWICE! Either you are the sneakiest cameraman ever, or I was looking consistently dumber than I remember. Probably a combination of the two. I appreciate the one shot of me looking normalish! Thanks again for all...

    Lake Isabella and the Kern River Canyon

    I'm getting ready to split on out of Spartanburg in just hours, but I'm looking forward to seeing/meeting everyone in October!

    Low Cal 250?

    WOW! I have PKD (and so does everyone along my mom's side of the fam) and I'd never heard of this event. And Damn! I've got another major event I can't get out of that weekend! I would have loved a super-mini IBR routing practice day. :(

    Lake Isabella/Kernville?

    D'OH! Well, anyone who happens in to Kernville is certainly welcome to swing in and say hi at any time, organized ride or otherwise.

    Lake Isabella/Kernville?

    Actually, we had planned a trip to the Arctic Circle again - this time on more appropriate dual sport bikes for a real off-road adventure. My brother is the publisher of a magazine that is sending him up for a story on 4x4 off-roading through Alaska and the Arctic, and we figured we'd tag along...

    Lake Isabella/Kernville?

    I'm a certified Yamaha tech (and Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Royal Enfield, and Bombardier), but alas - warranty issues have to be taken care of at an actual Yamaha dealer. Unless it's a third party extended warranty, in which case I'd be honored to take care of you. We'll be moving in to the...

    Lake Isabella/Kernville?

    This is a great time to spread the news! For those of you who will be riding up to Kernville, please take a minute to stop by our new motorcycle shop just across the river from "the circle" in Kernville. My husband and I finally secured the old Dam Korner building (next to the Pizza Barn...

    Any brick & mortar Plexus dealers in CA?

    Any Parts Unlimited dealer has access to Plexus in the large and travel sizes. Last time I ordered them I could get the large cans one at a time, but the small ones came to the dealer in twelve packs. Pretty much anywhere in California if you have your closest shop order you a can, it will be...

    Garmin Zumo 660 GPS rumored to come out next week!

    Here Here! I've never found myself looking at the 550 going, "This just doesn't look as nice as my plasma TV. Crappy ol' thing." I check the map infrequently at best, usually just to confirm there are no weird interchanges or whatever in areas I'm not too familiar with. Besides, isn't that...

    Garmin Zumo 660 GPS rumored to come out next week!

    I've been hearing about a new Zumo coming out for about 6 months now, and I must say I'm glad I wasn't holding out for this one. What a disappointment! The only thing that even sounds like an interesting bonus to me is the lane assist, and even that is just "eh, ok". I can't believe they did...

    Planning Alaska...

    All of the provincial campgrounds we've stayed at through BC & Yukon have been outstanding. The fees are very reasonable - $7-$15 per site was about average - and included free firewood. Very handy on a bike! They were always beautiful & well maintained. Nicer (cleaner, prettier settings...

    Anyone running two GPSs on a J&M MA-967 amp?

    One more update to this riviting and wildy popular topic (Hey, you never know - someone may come here searching for just this exact information. Someday.) Through some additional fiddling, I have discovered that you actually DO NOT have to wire the power through the amp in order to get sound...
