A lot of dealers have some young person in their shop doing the , so called, minor things like oil changes, tire changes , etc. Twice I have had the front brake assembly come loose as the mechanic did not tighten the hardware . Now I do tire changes myself. Hopefully they will assign a more...

I thought that you could just remove your valve core and install the beads that way, no need to break the bead. Mac

My other bike is a Ural. Lets see, hmmm, how to compare . Nope cannot do it , all I can say is they are different. Boy are they different. Mac

Kinda slow day , Huh. Mac

That puts it over the top for me, I will pass on the rally. Sorry Mac

I am in the 90% range. I have ridden all thru that area but wouldn't mind doing it again. Mac

I have used mine for two years now and love it. The only thing you have to watch for is " if " you have the engine running and turn the handle bars to full lock to the right you might try to engage the starter. Mac

Are you sure that you have the right place for the air filter, my 07 , other than some tight cable wires comes out easy. Mac

You really really know how to hurt a guy who lives in Iowa don't you. :rolleyes: Mac

Grip puppies are your answer for that last little bit of hum, plus the grips will now fit your hands. Mac

Hi Rick, I too ride an 07 FJR and being able to move the windshield back and forth is just the nature of the beast. When riding the air pressure holds it back so it is stable. Mac

I voted the same time and reason as Bearly Flying . It can still be nasty up here the end of April. Mac

I would like to see you try that in Iowa. :rolleyes: Mac

Thanks for the link, I will be spending time reading the manual before I get mine. One more question if I might. How do you suggest wiring up the power cord ? It looks like a person could just add a couple of lugs and connect directly to the battery. Thanks to all that replied. Mac

With my first set of tires that came with the bike, bridgestone 020, the rear wore out before the front. In fact the front had at least 1K miles left on it but I replace tires as a set. I installed Bridgestone 021 and the front tire wore out before the rear tire. I have now installed a new...

I don't have it yet but that first "YES" convinced me and it is ordered and will be here next week. Thanks for all your input, I really like to have the map always showing North up. Guess it's a hold over from my old flying days. Thanks again Mac

I presently have a 276C GPS but am interested in getting a Zumo 550 . The only concern I have is being to set the screen so the top is always North. Does it give you that option ? Thanks Mac

I am home and boy am I glad. Rain the first 200 miles and then not too bad. Right now just kicking back with a toddie and trying to figure where I am going next. Great Rally Mac

I was really pissed not too long after I bought my 07 . I cannot believe I waited so long to get one. :yahoo: Mac

That was the same problem I had, the grips being too small. The grip puppies made them just the right size for me and an added advantage is they help soak up any viberation and also help in applying the throttle smoothly. Mac
