    Rider Missing Lolo Pass to W. Yellowstone.

    Considering that I do a lot of hiking, 4x4 trails, and camping that I may get me a SPOT locator. I can't tell you how many times I've told friends and family I was going exploring in the mountains then would have dozens of voice mails on my phone when I returned home of people asking if I made...

    Motorcycle Accidents and Riding gear

    +1 If there is a contest for the most ******** thing posted on this forum this year then I believe you've taken first place. * Full face helmet w/ visor. Sunglasses during daytime for UV protection. I can heard AND see MUCH better than w/out a helmet. The wind isn't knocking my eyelids around...

    Cracked Plastic

    I cracked the front wheel-well plastic two weeks ago. To keep the cracks from spreading I cut plastic from a heavy-duty food container (good thing I'm not married) and glued it to both side of the cracks. I used enough cut pieces to cover the cracks and then some....used gorilla glue in the...

    College Football is Here! Claim your top 5!

    I'm so glad college football is here. I think it's the best sport around. 11 guys on each side of the ball must work in unison and at the same time perfectly execute their position and responsibilities. Only a few seconds determines a regular play from a game-changing play. Anyone wanna join in...

    Remedies for hip/knee pain

    Wild Bill's Highway peg mounts. Kuryakyn offset mounts. Kuryakyn padded pegs. If I get a chance I'll post my setup. I'm able to extend my legs forward. And the Kuryakyn offset mounts rotate so I can raise and lower the height of the pegs.

    From hero to zero in one week.

    As posted in another thread my FJR wasn't starting. I needed to get the ignition switch recall completed so I had to tow it to the dealer. (The dealer discovered the negative ground from the PCIII was keeping the bike from starting. So if your bike doesn't start and can't figure out why then...

    Yamaha Posts Half-Year Net Loss

    First, realize that about 95% of press releases are about 95% crap. I've learned this while day-trading and working for publicly-traded companies. I have an issue with the plan to cut production. If Yamaha cuts production then the cost of each motorcycle will increase since it will carry more...

    Battery indicator light when starting.

    It seems that the problem could be related to the switch recall. Funny how I was headed down first thing Sat morning to the dealership for the recall replacement when I first had this problem. Me thinks this is the problem.

    Battery indicator light when starting.

    No codes showing. Kill switch in correct position. I have not been messing with anything on the bike due to work. Gas is showing 2-3 bars. I've brought my battery to work to monitor it being charged. The electrical tester showed 12.40 volts before I put it back on the battery tender. Maybe it's...

    Battery indicator light when starting.

    Very useful info. Thanks. In the last few months work has been very stressful and decreased my ability to notice important non-work details. But I'll pay attention to this going forward.

    Battery indicator light when starting.

    I could be wrong on the light. Maybe it is the check engine light and I've mistaken it for a battery light. What you don't notice on a daily basis will just up and surprise you! The battery started to die around the 5th attempt to start the bike. Each attempt the I didn't let the starter go...

    Battery indicator light when starting.

    Had my 07 parked for 3 weeks. Yesterday I wanted to get out and enjoy the roads so I took out the battery and put it on the battery tender to charge it. It took over 4 hours to get the green light. Battery back on the bike and it's time to ride. When I turned on the key the usually "whirring"...

    Windshield motor not engaging.

    Thank you Skifrik! Dude, you're correct. I saw that the rubber grommet was being pulled out by the arm so I yanked it out. The windshield motor is now engaging. Great advice....easy to check and easy to fix. I'm wondering, like others, how much protection the rubber grommet offers. I'm thinking...

    stock horn removal

    If my memory is correct you need an allen wrench. Park the bike where you can easily move the fork side to side. There is not a lot of room to work but sit on ur doofus and get tour hand up in there.

    rear diff oil ?

    Just make life simple by getting the yammie stuff. Then you won't second guess the decision. And you can use all the time you didn't spend for this to research other important things like what gps unit to get, where to install your fuse block, should you mount a scooter tire on your bike, how to...
