Not a ground spider... just checked and mine has nothing connected to it either. Not entirely sure where it leads... Dr. Ionbeam to the white courtesy phone... Dr. Ionbeam to the white courtesy phone please ... Griff

**EDIT** I said S4 but meant to say S1... To clarify... you're looking for the connector that is just south of the S4 S1, left side, top of the engine ? Griff

Bit of a ride Tip... but we're having our annual Spring tech day down here in Cowtown on the 4th of May... PM me if you're interested and I'll send you directions. Griff

Bill, I'll try to get a picture later today of the connector you're referring to... I'm riding up to Edmonton at the moment, so can't exactly pull things apart just yet. Griff

Welcome aboard Tip... headed up your way tomorrow (if the effin' weather cooperates...) Griff

We'll likely have some tire changes and other general maintenance stuff as well. Have to get the garage cleaned up ... Griff

Me either... that's why I have your old StreetPilot ;) Griff

Lucky bastidge....

Hoping to see a live version soon. I'd like a Zumo 550... but no longer available, and not sure I need all the bells and whistles that the newer Zumos come with. Funny that TomTom seems more popular in Europe and Garmin on this side of the puddle. For the right price, I'd be willing to give...

Tech Day = a bunch of local FJR-types show up in my garage and pretend to work on bikes while telling lies, drinking a few ales and eating from a large pot of venison chili etc... usually twice a season, spring and fall. A chance to catch up on some maintenance, do some farkling projects, BS...

Welcome back Shawn... when will you be in Cow-town? Tech Day 4 May, if you're here by then it'll be a good chance to drop in and meet some of the locals. Griff

OK... Calgary Tech Day is Saturday 4 May, 0800 until whenever we get done... Post up here or PM me if you plan on attending so I can make sure there's enough beer/grub/etc. I'll email all the usual suspects the details. Griff

I'll look for the bus for Friday ... but I'm planning a getaway after the races Sunday, and I have track access for a 'parade lap' on Saturday... so gonna have to bring the FJR for that. Griff

Here's a picture of mine loaded up... https://yamaha-triples.org/photos/show-album.asp?albumid=1324&photoid=13064 I attach the rear straps to the Givi passenger grab rail and the front straps to the passenger foot peg brackets and then cinch it all up tight. The bag comes with a spider-clip...

I've not used it in place of the top box (I use it as a seat bag), but the straps will shorten to a few inches long so it oughta work. I'll head out to the garage later today and try it, take a pic or three and post up. Griff

Hey Tuggy, how about a straight swap (per jmgriff's original post?) I've often thought about it, and I know a lot of folks "over 'ome" have thought about visiting the Rockies, and having a bike available makes it all the more attractive. I'll PM you... Griff

I have the medium MotoFizz bag from the Aerostich catalogue ( https://www.aerostich.com/medium-motofizz-camping-seat-bag.html ). It's expandable, reasonably waterproof even without the rain cover (I've never actually used the rain cover on mine), has a quick-detach system that makes it very...

Definitely want to hang at the corkscrew, and yeah, wandering is good. I have grandstand seats, paddock pass and a lap of the track on Saturday... it's gonna be a great weekend :)

Thanks for the tip. I have tickets for 3 days, so (hopefully) time to scope out best locations etc. during the race weekend.

Lucie and I will be heading out from south of Montreal on the Thursday. Likely wind up going through Ottawa and then getting off the T-Can around Renfrew/Arnprior and going through the south side of Algonquin Park to get to Huntsville. Any from NE or Maritimes planning on coming through that...
