    Engine knocking on an 08

    Mine did the same from day one. At 4k miles I replaced the plugs with Iridium. Problem solved! On very rare occations it will do it but cant remember the last time I heard it miss.

    Best Bluetooth Helmet

    I have a Nolan with N-com. The bluetooth works really good but does not support A2DP stereo. The helmet is nice but was very pricy. Its been a while but I think close to $500.00 with the N-com components. I use the Bluetooth in conjuction with both my Zumo 550 and Phone. When making a call...

    Any advice in buying Direct TV?

    I had direct for a few years and when I moved to a new home I switched to Dish. Both good. I'm not sure what the direct tv rates are now but I have every premium channel, and I'm paying 110 a month. It was, at least at the time I signed up a much better deal then direct and all equipment was...

    Almost Beyond Belief what this Kid did!

    How great! Not only did he do am amazing job, but he actually seems to have reached out and effected the little ***** that normally would be defacing that rock. Maybe there is some hope for these kids. :clapping:

    Installing PCIII

    QUOTE (tom b @ Jul 14 2008, 12:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The powercommander comes with a "zero" map for your year model with no mods. This will make some difference in the throttle but not much. Search for wally's smoothness map or I think even better uselesspickles calculated smoothness...

    Installing PCIII

    Have a PCIII on its way, Forum group buy THANK YOU! I do have a question about the install. I've done the forum search and now know physically how the PCIII goes into the bike. I'm curious about the need to program? Is this just a plug and play item? Is it preconfigured for the bike its...

    Recieved Call From Yamaha

    Thats was exactly what I told him. I explained that at 47, im probably one of the youngest forum members. This bike doesnt realy attract the younger crowd. I went on to say that there are a bunch of well informed people here that are worth listening to. I'd say this is a unique forum to say...

    Recieved Call From Yamaha

    Linky to Post (Ignition Rekeyed By Yama) Check out the link above, my ignition failure saga. The bottom line is, YAMAHA DID PAY to have my ignition rekeyed. You need to talk to Yamaha customer service. Screw messing with the dealer, :argue: go straight to the source. 5 mins on the...

    Recieved Call From Yamaha

    I mentioned the forum and he actually shot it down. He said too much uninformed crap bouncing around the forums. I defended this one and explained that all the issues that he is aware of are contained in the forum and not to dismiss it so easily.

    I wondering about using DynaBeads?

    I agree, stupid cause I got ticketed!!! First ticket in 30 years, free way, no traffic, 3/4 of a mile from my exit and thought that would be a safe place to try it. Speed trap right at the exit, got pulled over on the ramp which is maybe 500 yards from my driveway. :angrysmiley: so...

    Throttlemeister Cruise Control

    I've managed to get used to using mine without slowing down or taking my hand off the bar. Gotta be a little dexterous but I can do pretty well locking it without slowing down. It def is no cruise control but if your looking to just get your hand off the throttle for a few mins at a time it...

    Recieved Call From Yamaha

    I just recieved a call from Yamaha concerning my recent Ignition failure. Seems that they are at least acknowledging the fact that there is a problem. In there wisdom they believe it is a "Cold Solder Issue" Hum, imagine that. We spoke for about 45 mins and he mentioned that there working up...

    I wondering about using DynaBeads?

    I've been running with the DynaBeads for 1500 miles now. Love them! Ride is perfectly smooth and no damm weights on my rims to scratch them. Tested them at 145mph (I know, stupid! But curious) and still silky smooth ride. As far as using a plug, I would think the beads would easily...
