    Power only while the bike is off?

    Look for a standard automotive relay with both a Normally open (NO 87) and Normally closed contact (NC 87a). Make sure you weatherproof the relay with silicone on the joints if required (you can buy sealed relays for more $). Connect the coil contacts (85/86) to a circuit that is powered when...

    Panel A problem

    I got frustrated with the spring nut always moving around resulting in me loosing it or difficulting during reassembly due to misalignment (Note: My spring nut probably became worn more than normal due to the installation of an accessory shelf). To solve the problem, I finally put a very small...

    Fuzeblock questions

    That is a grounding block behind the Fuzeblocks. The grounding block ensures that all grounds to all devices are good (as indicated....it "brings them all together". It also means running a few less wires, easy to trouble shoot or quickly add additional grounds. The Fuzeblocks are velcroed...

    Fuzeblock questions

    Correct! Something else to consider....each Fuzeblock is rated at 30A or approx. 400 Watts. Total electrical capacity for two Fuzeblocks would be ~ 800 Watts. However, the total available electrical capacity for the Gen II is only 590 Watts. The electrical wiring on my bike is not what I would...

    GIVI Top Case...V46 or E55?

    They are helmet locks available from Premier Cycle Accessories....I use them for a few other reasons as well. Very convenient. I modified them to accept my Yamaha key. They are mounted to the Premier Cycle Accessories "Givi Topcase Mounting Replacement Rack. The rack permits you to slide the...

    GIVI Top Case...V46 or E55?

    I purchased the V46 several years ago and before the E55 was available. The V46 is nice, but if I had the opportunity today I would buy the E55. I went with the Givi SR357.

    PCIII or V

    I have the PC III EX. The PC III EX will not permit you to adjust the fuel mapping in the 0-4000rpm/0-12% throttle positions. Unfortunately with the III EX model, the areas of the fuel map that you would want to adjust to resolve the low end throttle abruptness are not accessable. The G2 tube...

    Fuzeblock questions

    Another possible install location to consider for those getting their new Fuzeblocks. Relays can be installed under the seat as well permitting quick access and troubleshooting.

    Uncool on Vancouver Island

    Unfortunately this video has been picked up by the Canadian media..... Idiots like this add a black mark to the motorcycling community. I hope they catch the rider. Globe & Mail (CTV newswire)

    When does high miles matter?

    30,000 miles is just nicely broken in. My FJR only has 50,000 miles and it just started to loose its new smell. Today I just delivered my ST1100 that had about 80,000 miles and it was still running great and reliable. As indicated, the maintenance by the previous owner is the key.
