    abs confusion

    I rode enough today to be sure my problem is resolved, no flashing ABS light, damn happyy for that you can be sure. BTW, it turned out that this green wire has a red stripe, cant see that in the pic I posted.....to get access I removed the lower fairing on the left side, this allowed me to get a...

    ABS light, again...still..whatever

    One correction regarding wire color, I thought it was green, what you cant see is the red stripe,...so then, the loose wire was green with red stripe.

    ABS light, again...still..whatever

    Happy to report I found the little bugger, it turned out to be a single wire in one of the connectors located just under the access cover next to the glove box, see the pic attached, the green wire is not fully seated in the connector. Simple matter of making that connection and my ABS light...

    ABS light, again...still..whatever

    OK, im one of those with the blinky abs light and it is not caused by my rear brake light switch being out of adjustment. I have watched my light flicker since 06, it will tend to illuminate while accelerating and dim or go out when braking which always had me looking for a loose connection...

    How too...

    SKYWAY sliders make a fine lift point for the front, I put her on the centerstand, jack the front from the header and set her back down so the sliders are sitting on a set of jack stands....the jack stands and centerstand both require some 2x lumber under them to get the height I want but it is...

    Frame Sliders

    I read this here somewhere, found it very effective... I mounted Skyway sliders to ease maintainance as well as pehaps save some paint. With a pair of jackstands and some scrap bits of 2x lumber you can make the bike very stable for wheel/fork removal, just pop the bike on its centerstand...

    Added an SV1000S to the stable!

    Agree on the SV, I have a 03 1000N, the elusive naked version. Love the hell out of this bike. Take a look at www.sv-portal.com This site has loads of good info....tons of cheap and effective mods, my favorite low buck mod are Buell footpegs, they are offset from the mounting point and give an...

    Wheelies Banned by Law

    I like doing wheelies, for me they are a risk worth taking once in a while...... My rule regarding recklessness, I try to put only myself at risk, always avoid public areas, stay clear of fellow riders,.... and have fun. Laws like this are silly, they have enough now.

    Phalanx CIWS

    If memory serves me.....that rig fires 20mm depleted uranium at 3000 rounds per minute, direct decendant of 'puff the magic dragon' used in Vietnam.
