    Are more expensive Motorcycle Helmets really any safer?

    Bluetooth battery monitor.........

    Not sure what you learn about your battery. I think it tells you more about your alternator and whether your shunt or series regulator is doing something. See https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_measure_state_of_charge And a good practical visual of measuring a battery with...

Here is an application guide from loctite: https://www.na.henkel-adhesives.com/us/content_data/LT4460_Motorcycle_Application_Guide.pdf Your break/prevail torque is 53/30 for 222(purple) vs...

    Best oil to stick with for new bike?

    Maybe the reason they sell so many FJRs is to replace the FJRs they service?

    Swapping Stator Cover Problems

    If you replace them with something soft like grade 2 then in a few years when they are welded in the case they will break off if you need to do the job again. The difference in cost is penny's. Why not upgrade to better hardware like Torx? The factory did!

    Swapping Stator Cover Problems

    I like to use air impact wrenches instead of the manual hammer variety. That way I can really push the tool into the screw and then pull the trigger. Its easier to avoid cam out. I would get allen or torx bolts to replace the phillips heads. You can match the grade (5 or 8?) to maintain the...

    California Lane Splitting Guidelines Now Being Developed--UPDATED 5/18

    https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB51 Its not really much of a law. It doesn't authorize developing regulations. Only the writing of "guidelines" which they had until someone complained.

    Best route creation software - by far

    There is a trick to basecamp. You need to set the settings in basecamp separately from the settings on the GPS. Otherwise basecamp sends you down the dirt roads and worse.

    Favorite Communicator Uclear, Sena, Cardo, GMRS, What?

    Can different brands talk to each other? Can a Sena talk to a Uclear and vice versa?
