I have had a battery on a 5 ton truck blow up in my face from a starter that was suck in the crank position and was drawing way too much current. Luckily, I was wearing safety gear appropriate for battery work. Sealed batteries are only relatively sealed. They have valves that open if there...

I saw the following line and my BS detector went off. Installed with a properly operating FI system the FI2000R can provide some increased power through tuning the air fuel mixture to provide maximum angular movement to the crankshaft at any given throttle opening. Perfect stoichiometric ratio...

What all the previous posters have said. I have 137,000 plus on my FJR. I am NOT the fastest rider here. On longer group rides I have always end up in the fastest group and keep up pretty well. My venerable 03 (built in Aug 02) is pure stock. In all that time the amount of time there is...

Two days ago, I put Tech-Spec tank grips and saddlebag protectors on. Yesterday, I replaced the old PR2 front with a new PR2. I only got 18,093 miles out of that one. Mostly freeway.

That only voids the warranty if the farkel is a set of flags and the motorcycle is a Harley Davidson.

What he said.

Mine are pointing to the Starboard beam. This way when she is listing on the sidestand I can get to them. But you can mount them left and let us know how it works out for you.

Man, I don't know. I can't remember the last time I was off the bike for more than 3 days.

I raised the tank and disconnected the fuel pump when mine did it. takes less cranking than the WOT method.

Hey I got an idea, let's ask what kind of oil was dumped (dino or synthetic) on Glendora Mountain Road, allegedly by this guy 4SWC981and how well PR2's will get through it... ;)

Congratulations! I knew you could do it. You sir, have accomplished a forum first!

I have run the 190 55 for the last 3 tires, 1 PR2 and 2 PR4's. I cannot feel any difference but operate on the theory that they will last just as much longer as the circumference is increased. Yes, the speedo error is reduced as a side effect. My last rear PR4 lasted 14,507 miles. I have...

I cannot believe how bad the weather was here today. it was actually down to 65 and it RAINED! For a whole 4 MILES! Just terrible, such a balancing act between fast enough to get the water off the VStream and slow enough to maintain control. Just terrible.

If you have ever changed, or needed to change, your oil twice, in a week... you may be an Iron Butt Rider.

Who needs 4th? Starting gear. Show off gear. Angry gear. Passing gear. Cruising gear. If you absolutely have to, just go from cruising to angry. If you must, I say option 2. Keep the 300,000 bragging rights that are coming up soon.

I see about .33. about one every three days or so.

Go for it... Don't tell her... See if she notices... If you get hospitalized in a spectacular fashion, post up. We will all console you and wish you a speedy recovery.

Wow, such strong opinions. I have a Shorai 18 whatever. I have had it for a little over two years. It has never let me down and has cranked alot longer than I would have thought a bike battery could when I had a bout of FSS. It has only been on a charger once and it was a regular one sitting...

I did have to remove the whole headlight housing. Yes, it was a huge pain in the butt. I had to drill two 7/8th (+/- 1/16 I don't remember) holes and there is a little point at the center that tries to throw off the bit. They are pretty bright but the cone is a full 90 degrees. Therefore...

Thanks for all the positive replies I used these LED lights. The logic is built in. They are the correct size to fit just right. I fixed them into the 'sockets' with black silicon, enough to hold the plug to the light and the light into the socket but it can be removed by just grabbing and...
