Great info, the way those resonance chambers are laid out is really enlightening.

IF the windscreen did not stop at the proper position, it might not be an auto-retract issue, it may be that what ever mechanism (microswitch? mechanical stop?) was damaged in the drop too. This is why the shield did not stop with the auto-retract, it may not stop if the 'down' were held...

DUDE! Do you realize that 2 hours ago you posted on a thread that was only five days away from being FOUR YEARS DEAD!!

Here is what the plug looks like removed. https://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/supertankerm60a3/DSCF8019.jpg If you run those two leads to a switch, like the one shown here, you get the best of both worlds. https://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/supertankerm60a3/DSCF8024.jpg

I had that radar, I called it "fog radar", (California central valley was home) installed in my brand new (1998) Freightliner Century class semi. about 2 years later they had the system wired in to the cruise control. It couldn't actuate the brakes at that time but is sure could adjust your...

There is a mention of the windshield trim parts making this noise on another thread. Might try pulling off the shield and taking it for a quick ride over some bumps. There is alot inside the front that could be making noise, come to think about it, a loose battery could do it too.

Probably an easy fix. I'd go for it. The Tupperware is available on ebay. However, with Yama cases and a professional paint job you will be right at the "What it's worth" level not too much better. I think it would be worth about 6K in near perfect condition. It would take about 3200 to get...

I am surprised that Tyler missed "Tyler Foote crossing road" AKA county 129. You can take an FJR over it, no leaning and be careful. it is more befitting a KLR. Great views, steep cliffs, very narrow, some pavement, way off the beaten path.

Yes high RPM vibrations are normal. I have posted to those complaining about vibrations at 4k to try riding at 8.5K. Looks like you have. Your tolerance (as well as all humans) is the variable. There is NO HARD acelerometer based vibration guidlines that give a defined GO/NOGO. I wish there...

Not too weird, I did that for a while as I was waiting for a second bag to show up on ebay once.

SCOPE SHOWS ALL!!!! That is an eye opener, Thanks! Think about what those things are doing when you try to run something without any battery... Shudder....

I mixed facts a little for humor. The touching of the X-15 and realizing how tiny the cockpit was is a real experience. (infact, there were titanium shutters that were closed to make the experience ever more harrowing on some of the later flights. They are installed on the left side only on...

I once (several times) visited the Air Force museum in Dayton Ohio. The last time there, I was up close and personal with an X-15 and realized 1 the 2 windows were barely larger than than a football 2 this thing could do mach 7 3 you had to set the engine mixture manually, constantly...

There is a 'Simple' explaination to understanding them...

My battery is now three years old and has NO lead in it at all and only weighs about 24 oz..

Start by charging your battery and trying to start it again. If that works, test or replace your battery. You may have discharged your battery by restarting the bike several times, this may have been compounded by leaving the key on for even a short amount of time. You can even jump it from...

I think it has something to do with previous jumping of curbs...

By the rules, would it be IBA legal to ride your bike to fairbanks, rent a KLR to get to deadhorse and back then finish with your FJR?

Did you notice any miss? That would confirm/rule out coil issues. Unplugging the O2 sensor will only disguise any pending failure untill it just stops running if it is anything besides the sensor itself.

Well, I just googled the web and I cannot find any NEW Hard Paqs for sale. Only used and a few reviews. So appearenty, they are no longer in production. I found mine unsed on EBay were others were found. I did find "Sun Mountain", they are a golf equipment company. Appearently, they no longer...
