    New 2008, First Questions

    Throttle issue - Yes normal, will get better in time and/or by Grip Puppies - I love them especially if you have big hands. Rear Break - much pressure is needed to stop if only using back break but not impossible! Remember that there are four FRONT pads connected to the rear break lever - trail...

    Ride to NAFO via South Dakota - Who's coming?

    Hey Jackson, Thanks for the info. Yep I letting the computer make the choice here because I don't know any better. I will defiantly consider the route change; changing the hotel is not a problem but I'll have to look at the additional time, cause that will put me into the park a little later...

    Potential opportunity to travel One-Way cross country.

    fhaze, Cool vacation plans, I am envious :glare: . Yeah, that $800 to ship the FJR out to OR is cheaper than the plan ticket out there for your butt, I guess? The charge back for the plane ticket back to CT will most likely cover the Forward Air fees, scheewt! I did a fly & ride deal three...

    Year old shaft drive oil

    .paul, Yes it is still good even if the cap seal has been broke (but not left off). Think of it this way; how many millions of years was it in the ground before it was bottled for Yamaha? I think its OK to put in the pumpkin. :rolleyes: Jusy an FYI, as long as it is GL-5 type gear oil weight...

    Of crashes and heart problems

    Scab, I am glad that you now know what is causing the problem and get to know what the problem means for you. Always listen to your better half (BB) because if she's been sticking with you this long, she's not about to give you crappy info. And WHOEVER made that comment about Viagra hasn't...

    Which Shield to Use

    vectervp1, Thanks for your input. Yep it is a real toss up on which one to use. I have had the stock shield right up until about a month and a half ago and even before I cut it down the buffeting wore on me after about 400 miles (since cutting it down the buffeting has been less :glare: )...

    Which Shield to Use

    Hello all, This will be my first serious ride, about 5200 miles in 6 or 7 days and I need some insight/suggestions. ** I have a stock wind screen that I've cut down 3.25 inches to keep cool on summer rides here on the east coast of Virginia and I have a big V-Stream for cooler temps and times...

    Jeff, Send me the .pdf's of the maps and turn by turns say first or second week of September and I will print them in color, I am supposed to be printing the name badges any way. See if Jwilly will set up a down load (FTP) page on the registration site, then up load any or all formats...

    Prize givaway

    Pick an item, draw a name or: Here is a small twist; stager the bigger prizes from "Nice" to "Sweet" to "OMG" as the final prize, in other words build to the Climax. Put two, three or four smaller prizes in between each of the bigger prize. I know that might take some work but we should know...

    New Area for EOM Staff

    All righty now! I'm in the zone, cool. First statement: Nice web site Jason. That makes since to register everyone AND make them go to the dinner, smooth move! First Q: I had been talking to Wayne about ID badges earlier and how to show who paid for dinner, but that is now moot! But, with the...

    Impending ignition switch failure or not?

    Jeff, There is most defiantly a positive air flow coming up from the triple tree/radiator and into the bottom of that ignition switch! Watch out on using WD-40 in an electrical switch environment, two things happen; WD-40 eats up plastic/nylon parts and WD-40 will conduct electricity. If you...

    Impending ignition switch failure or not?

    Jeff, Sounds like the switch might have a cold solider joint or has some moisture in it causing the contacts to spread apart, opening the circuit. If it happens again, get a hair dryer and heat the switch with it and see if it helps, if so then it might be what I said above. In any case call...
