This is when your unit has the real-time traffic update add-on, or any of the other "TomTom Live HD" services such as local real-time fuel prices, mobile speed cameras, Google local search, hotel bookings, or local weather. You upload your current position and speed to TomTom any time you use...

Actually, I found all my turkey basters crazed and shattered after being exposed to brake fluid. I use one of the EZ-bleed syringes to pull the nasty stuff out. Since I don't have a helper, I use a Vacula refiller bottle that clamps to the m/c and has a shutoff plus a level adjust, and this...

No idea... I just unscrew it and pull the panel off. It's easy to get back on. I haven't ever figured out how to get it disconnected any other way.

Yeah, but then you'd need a brake-fluid-proof pump or something to deal with a large quantity of fluid coming into the master cylinder. Plus if the little deflector dingle is missing in the bottom of the m/c, you'll get a nice little 10" fountain of brake fluid. You can drop a large bolt or...

God... I *love* the matte black finish... and the pipes... and the single-sided swingarm... and... oh, I'll be in my bunk!

Hahahaha. My local dealer put the front tire on BACKWARD. TWICE. Considering how damn easy it is to look at an arrow and figure out which way it's pointing, I can easily imagine them screwing up the pressure that badly. They're out of business now... I wonder why? This is one of the major...

I was thinking of making a pressure bleeder from a garden sprayer, when I found Motive Products sells a small one for $40 that's better & cheaper than anything I could build. So I'm considering buying one. They sell a "Late Model Suzuki and Yamaha Adapter" that supposedly fits an impressive...

Oh hell no... info like that is invaluable and hard to get. Thanks a (metric) ton.

A friend of mine is Fire & Safety at the Univ. of Central Florida. One day, she's doing her rounds on campus, and there's a tanker trailer full of fuel oil sitting next to a building! She follows the lines which go into a lab in the building, and apparently some professor had gotten a grant from...

Hm. I remember diagnosing a broken wrist the same way.

I experimented and my '07 gave me 49.9 miles on the little "F" reserve gauge before it died. I had a 1/2 gal jug on the back, so I pulled over and put that in. One thing with fuel injection is there's absolutely no sputtering or other warning like there is with carburetors. One moment it's full...

Ha, I got the same notice for a tag number I DO own, except it was on a Georgia F-150, instead of a Florida FJR-1300. They dropped it.

They're ALL going to say that, same as the "ah didn't see him!" crap, or the "ah've only had wun beer, ossifer!" line. I remember when a co-worker caught hell because he didn't dial into a conference call on his way home. He said "I do NOT use the cellphone and drive at the same time" and they...

Nah, not a brand war, per se... just a "which make has the stupidest dealers" discussion! And I think the answer is "they all do!"

Yup. And that's why two of my friends no longer drive a Ford truck.

And another thing... howzabout a little advertising budget for the FJR, Mr. Yamaha Marketing Department? I ran into 3 guys today at Cracker Barrel, one of whom owns an R1, and they all said "A what? Never heard of an FJR!" C'mon guys, close down the solitaire game on windows and do your job...

And we have the winner for the RadioHowie "Best Post On A Friday" Award... here's your little tin statue of Howie...

Wow, I take it you're a graphics artist for a living? If not, you sure missed your calling!

"Now, I'm no Jeremy Burgess. But I'm pretty sure that is not how you are supposed to do it..."

FWIW, Suzuki deals with this using their SDTV system, where they have a 2nd computer controlled throttle plate above the rider-operated one. It opens more slowly, and keeps the airflow from going too lean for the FI to handle when the rider honks the throttle open. This would act just like the...
