    08 won't start bad gas?

    Sorry to hear about your troubles but there are, I'm sure, plenty of us on the forum that are so thankful that we paid the xtra bucks for the warranty. Mine's been paid back twice over: glovebox replaced and recently, cam tensioner and still have a couple of years left. Just curious, did your...

    Wish I could hand deliver it to you. Heal fast Carl, cause I predict a very large group ride coming your way in your honor. You're both in our prayers.

    '06 Won't Start

    I go tomorrow to pick up my bike after the ignition switch recall and cam tensioner replaced. gulp :blink:

    Tick, tick, tick...dang!

    Just got the call, bike's ready to go with new cam tensioner. No charge, covered under warranty! Not going to put the "yahoo" symbol up yet until I know it runs as good as before. Sure is good news though. Big thanks to all who responded. It was all a little over my head but very...

    Holy cow, 68k on an 06'... good for you Brodie. Sure agree about the dealer getting it right the first time. I'm believing they will. This dealer has a pretty good rep. I thought this was the part that only Harley's had problems with at 30k. :lol:

    Tick, tick, tick...dang!

    Been more than my share of busy and haven't been on the forum too much. Just spent an hour on Shane's troubles (thread). I'll respond to that here before beginning mine: Shane, you have contributed so much to this forum. It was so disheartening to see how much trouble you went through with...

    Which is the tyre with the best grip?...

    Avon storms for me. This will be my 3rd set going on in a couple of weeks. I'm getting around 10 - 11k on them because of a lot of highway miles. They developed them with soft rubber on the sides and harder rubber on top. I've heard some are only getting around 7 - 8k on them and that's...

    Doggie Down .. Cdog sez.. I fell of the bike!! ARF!!

    Man o man. Sure am glad you two are OK and walked away from that. It sure is wild looking at relatively the same bike and riding gear as we have. Thanks so much for posting those pics for us to go over. It sure will help for more awareness ahead. Those kind of hidden traps scare me the...

    Ignition Switch on Backorder

    Dean, you're now an official member of the infamous "waiters club". Should of ordered that thing a while back. Talked to my dealer just now and he had ordered one the middle of May for another bike and said it was just released today. So guess I have a month to wait.

    Mounting a zumo 550

    Ouch, dang, and I really thought I had a cool looking motorcycle. Guess I'll just put the "wanna be a car" thing up for sale. :cray: I know, to each his own, but for me, driving 32k in 2 years, the need for a place to put things like the zumo, satellite antennae, voltmeter, eztag tollway...

    Looking for styrofoam blocks

    A long time back, I did a search for a foam manufacturer to get a particular shape of foam for a keyboard case. Found one in a major city close by, called them, and was surprised as to how receptive they were to help. They mailed me three different types of foam to select from and then sent...

    Y.E.S., 20W40, and Legal Issues

    Broke that little plastic catch on the storage container with power outlet inside. Did that by reaching in there with gloves on early into the extended warranty. I would say that was at least what I paid for the extended warranty. Anyway, no questions asked, the dealer just ordered another...

    Mounting a zumo 550

    mojave, the bluetooth works great (when finally configured properly). It shows an incoming call w/ ID and a large button to accept the call. When the Zumo was brand new on the bike, I had to constantly remind myself not to look too much at the screen while driving. This device has been a...

    Are the Yamaha "comfort seat's" really that much more comfortable?

    I've always been curious about the "comfort seat" from Yamaha to know whether it was worth the money spent. Wait until the seat breaks in then breaks down in about 5 - 10k. I did 3 trips to FL and on each of the trips, the seat got more and more miserable. I'm on my third fitting with a...

    Need some computer advice

    While back, I did research on finding out the best security. Found out that Nod 32 from Eset (Australia) and Kapersky (Germany) were the two best rated. I used Nod 32 for a couple of years with no problems and switched to PC Security Shield, which is the American version of Kapersky. Been...

    How many significant others ride their own bike?

    Wife says, "Why don't we get a motorcycle?" She's very happy sitting on the back seat taking it all in. She also knows her limitations on balancing skills.

    blue light special

    That's why I opted out of the heated seat and went w the 18" sub option day-long Russell. I just don't understand why my wife wants a cigarette at the end of each ride.
