Hope things smooth out for you soon, JP Sounds like you and Mel have shouldered a lot of responsibility this year. I'll look forward to seeing you both next year. Archer and I went on a 3000-mile ride with a group and just got back a week ago. For us it was meet in Enumclaw, ride to the Dalles...

I have an extra pair of side bag liners for sale. Great shape except the right side has a small worn spot on the inside bottom. Not a worn through hole, but a small (1 sq inch) spot with the waterproofing inside worn off. Carrying straps included. Asking $30 and I will pay for shipping to the...

Thanks, mom. You forgot to mention that motorcycles don't have seatbelts.

I've still got my eye on it, Gary. The ThrottleMeister is aesthetically more pleasing.

I have been using the XiTomer throttle lock for about 5000 miles now. It is easy to operate, holds well, is easy to adjust while engaged, and easily overridden. It's a real cramp saver on long rides. I like it better than the ThrottleMeister I had on my '06 plus it was cheaper and easier to install.

I finally downloaded the Dynojet software and opened the map which has no specific name. I copied the map so that I have a copy of it as it came to me. I used my own USB-microUSB cable (not USB-c) and I don't have the original box or instructions. Dynojet has all the software and manuals on...

My odometer is perfectly accurate with its two readings: (!.) You're not there yet, (2.) You're there. My speedometer exhibits similar accuracy with: (1.) You're not moving (2.) You're not moving fast enough

DynoJet Power Commander V, PN 22-017, SN 090401003115, with autotune module and oxygen sensor. Removed in working order from 2008 Yamaha FJR 1300A. I don't know the map as I am the second owner. All included for $350

Here's a short thread on the ST forum. That's not to say they're the same o-rings but they are standard. https://www.st-owners.com/forums/threads/throttlemeister-o-ring-size.158804/

Remember the Throttlemeister is NOT cruise control, it's a throttle lock. It's job is to give your right hand a rest every now and then. It will NOT hold your speed at 70mph if you set it there. It will speed up or slow down depending on the grade you're on. I think the little o-rings in there...

Kurviger is a German navigation app that is in development. I have used it for a couple of years. https://kurviger.de/premium/en They have just recently released an iOS version in the last 6 months or so for iPads and iPhones. I think you can add 250 shaping points or way points. I usually...

Sorry. Had to do it.

I should have known a sissy like you would still be using tires. Seasoned riders don't need tires...or saddles, or clutches, or handlebars, or brakes. They just ride the engine...uphill, sideways, against the rain. Windshield? Hah.

Sitting tall in the saddle here (but not as tall as Panman) I have tried stock, Yamaha touring, V-Stream, tilted V-Stream, and currently have Cee Bailey +4 +4. Nothing completely eliminated buffeting. Having the windscreen all the way down always helps but, as mentioned, the sacrifice is reduced...

Take this advice from the ever-wise mcatrophy certainly. My '06 was corroded to the point that tapping was not completely effective. I had to grasp the tab with vice grips, twist several times back and forth, and then pull. Remove corrosion from the tab with carborundum paper. Don't get a file...

George! And the day before mother's day. This is a family forum.

I'm back to black with an '08, baby.

I never understood why anyone was so enamored with the 2007 grotesque black-cherry-lavender color. It is the only color I would never consider buying. But I suppose it's a matter of personal taste. Mine just happens to be impeccable.

I had a similar problem with my '06. I loved the color, could do without the snatchy throttle which Ivan's flash almost corrected, but it just couldn't take being hit by a car. Now I love the '08.

Just remove the lever. It's excess, unnecessary weight. And using the brakes is over-rated.
