    Connector Maintenance

    Booeshield T-9 is another product I have heard good reports about, also Internet sourced. https://boeshield.com/why-boeshield/ How did you get all those wires connected to the + terminal of the battery. I gave up while trying to connect a third wire and went to an Eastern Beaver fusebox...

    Where to buy Yamaha Accessories?

    Boats.net seems to have the best prices for most of the parts I look for. Shipping times can be long for almost all of the parts places I have used. I think that is because they order the stuff from a central Yamaha distribution warehouse but don't know for sure...

    Connector Maintenance

    Only place I've found ACF-50 is on the internet. U usually buy fat Amazon since I have a prime account: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P1C8UO/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=50802696410&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13494797494155495313&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_8xg0tnl5kp_b. I...

    Yellowing Exhaust Pipes and Cans

    I use 'Never Dull' about once a year, usually during the winter when I don't ride a lot. I kind of like the contrast between the all black '09 and the short section of faint blue/purple fading into light gold pipes.

    New Bluetooth TPMS Coming Out...

    Home Depot has it under a different name. I used some to mount my accessory fuse box and had a hard time repositioning the box. Located on the same aisle as the velcro products in my local store. Made by 3M...

    Handlebar pressure point - grip problem?

    I have the Oxford heated grips installed and they have a gap but I didn't notice after the first couple of weeks. No one who has seen them has commented on the gap .

    Any ideas for Kickstand Enlarger

    I carry a junction box cover as shown above with a braided cord threaded through a screw hole in the one I have (not shown in the one pictured) Fits nicelly in my Tank Bag, haven't tried to fit it in the glove box, have to much stuff in there as it is. The cord I attached is long enough that I...

    Back braces

    You might find that starting some light exercise routine to strengthen your core muscles and increase flexibility are a better solution than relying on a brace. Try a search for "exercises for motorcycle riding" Should find articles by Motorcycle Larry, Sound Rider and others. Pick and...

    rebuild at 30,000 miles?

    Price for the Gen III Schock Assy ( 2009 # Shock Absorber Assy, Rear 3P6-22210-10-00 ) appears to have gone up about $200 from what it was a couple of months ago. At around $600 you might want to take a look at some of the offerings from Penske, Ohlins and others.

    I-405 GoodtoGo pass

    I have nagging feeling that nothing good is going to come of this and that somewhere down the line a way will be found to extract money from motorcyclists, especially as the numbers of motorcycles on the road increases.

    Another reason lane splitting needs to be legalized everywhere

    When I am stopped at a light or in traffic you can bet that I am watching the traffic behind me so I can get out of the way if needed. I do the same thing when driving my car. I can't tell if the rider had just turned his camera on or not. As far as I know those cameras save to a chip so...

    I-405 GoodtoGo pass

    Lingk to a Juy 2 article from The Bothell-reporter. I think this is the clearest explanation I have seen about Motorcycle Passes on the tolled section of I-406. Posted from PNW Riders https://pnwriders.com/threads/yup-another-i-405-message-from-wsdot.203068/#post-3229806

    GoodtoGo Motorcycle Pass Placement

    I think that is what Texas posted also. The reader in use on the tolled section of I405 can't differentiate between cars and motorcycles. With any luck this will all be sorted out i a couple of months .

    GoodtoGo Motorcycle Pass Placement

    Achiu, that is where I think I am going to put mine also. Have you had it there long enough to know whether it works or not ? There is a answer in the FAQ section that states it can be mounted to the windshield so I thought the trim piece was a possibility also.. The adhesive is a one time...

    Oil filter socket wrench size

    I gave up on the socket type of filter wrench and bought one of these instead. https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-63600-Oil-Filter-Tool/dp/B0002SR4Q8/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1437257759&sr=1-1 Slip it over the top of the filter and the more forrce you apply to the wrench the tighter it...

    Roomier modular helmet

    My chin is very close to the chin bar in my Nolan N-104 so I suspect that probably won't work for you. Eagle Leather in Auburn had helmets that I hadn't seen in other shops. The HD shop in Bellevue had a few other manufacturers which surprised me. Both stores were happy to let me try on...

    GoodtoGo Motorcycle Pass Placement

    Three inches from the bottom of the round headlight shown in the instructions. Called GoodtoGo office and was told either headlight is OK. Found an answer in the FAQ section that said it can be mounted on the windshield if there is no room on the headlight. The latest information I have...

    GoodtoGo Motorcycle Pass Placement

    Received my GoodtoGo pass for the FJR yesterday. FJR and car are already registered with a Pay by Plate Account. WA state is requiring a motorcycle pass to use I-405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood. The pass is free while supplies last. Does anyone have a Motorcycle pass mounted on their FJR...
