    Dealers

    Hey Geeze, gotta agree with the others, service is where they clean up, the sale of the bike is small prophit in camparison. I don't know why the dealers suck *** as bad as they do but I do know that being a whiney little *** wipe has paid off for me in the past. I'm one of the few who will go...

    XM and Sirius Merger update

    I purchase a couple thousand shares of sirius stock 3.5 years ago when Howard Stern Signed up with them. It was under $3.00 a share Wether you like him or not he did bring 6 million listeners to sirius. I've been hanging on to the stock and hope that this merger is going to be the catalyst to...

    Experience or Judgment

    What a horrible report. Im deff going with judgement over experiance. I cant believe that anyone would put a 16 YO on an R1. The kid isnt old enough to practice good judgement and the father obviously has no sence at all. Kids have to deal with there peers. A 16 yo on an R1 even if you...

    Corbin thumbs up

    No problem Jill. Just hate to see you empty your wallet then be disapointed. You must be one tough cookie holding up that bike. I'm a big dude, only 5'7" but 220, lots of gym time and with 4 inches in the inseam on ya I know how heavy that bike can be. Kudos to you! :clapping:

    Corbin thumbs up

    OK, im not buying this. The reason I bought the corbin was because Im a shorty. 5'7" 30" inseam. I am tippy toed in the stock saddle. I read that the corbin seat actually is measured 1.5 inches lower then stock so I figured perfect. Well it is lower but its also wider, which brings you...

    Clutch question

    Starter whistle

    If the gear that pops out of the starter isnt retracting after the bike starts it will make that sound when the flywheel over revs the starter motor. That will kill your starter eventually.

    Clutch question

    To test the clutch on a used bike, pull it up to a wall, rev her up a little and release the clutch and a steady rate. You can usually tell if its slipping exsessivly. Should stall out pretty quick. Just dont let the guy your buying it from see ya doing it. He may not likey.

    Strange wind noise

    On the stock windshield there's a foam gasket thats attached to the windscreen under the "W". I wonder if maybe the glue is giving in and wind is getting under the foam gasket causing it to flutter. The sound could be deflected off the inside of the widshield and sound like it comming from...

    Corbin thumbs up

    I had my Corbin for for 7k miles, def an improvement over stock but i think it looks better then it feels. I ordered the smuggler as well, $800.00. I was a little set back by the price but from the day i dropped it on the bike it had become the most used farkle and I would be lost without it...
