Great report! I want to do that all the more. Though I would try to protect the radiator.

It says: Those bikes BUILT in 2001 and 2002 had autobahn cams in them and, thus, are way faster than all of the other gelded pretenders out there.

The light at the end of the tunnel says"CHECK ENGINE"... Congratulations! but aren't you going to start it at least once with the exhaust system completely off?

it may be the bottom end stop switch is not stopping it and the motor is jamming is too far down. Have you disabled the auto-retract system? Then all you have to do is not set it to full down on your own. There are multiple threads on this and it is easy.

Look at the 'chicken strips' in pic #1 they are 5/8th on the left and 1/4 on the right. It is your riding. Look at your total mileage from the tires, it is your riding. You push hard, that is fine if you maintain your equipment. I have the same issue. It is the route I ride. There are at...

LEO (SHM)EO... I will give the officer the benefit of the doubt here. My only issue is... I didn't know that ST's 1300's could GO THAT FAST!!!

If we are using suggestions, I second the windshield issue. I just put on my fall/spring shield (+4 over my 03) and I do not have numbers HOWEVER, I used to go two trips up and back for exactly $20 with one quart of extra gas in the little can i would take to the station. after 3 fill ups I...

I put the spring and fall 'screen back on, found the rear fender and got it ready and made sure the hand protectors had not been lost. getting it ready for a hopefully wet winter.

14,507 miles out of my last rear PR4.

The height of the coil inside the oil pan would cause negligent ADDITIONAL oil retention as these engines are notorious for retaining old oil. Many posts comment on how fast the fresh oil goes dark, minutes even. An extra 1/4" in the bottom would not amount to much in the long run.

SO COOL! I am glad to here that. Now, what caused it and how to prevent it from happening again. Maybe watch ebay for a REALLY good deal just in case.

OOPS! Fixed in edit, but a rear PR4, I kept 40-42 PSI in it.

Well I was looking at the 2 threads that discuss Michelin tires and have not been banished to the NEPERT. This one is the least stale. Therefore, I will report my complete life observations here and try to keep it relevant. My rear tire was a Michelin PR4 and used for a total of 14,507 miles...

Good write up. Couldn't agree more.

I had the SAME thing happen to me yesterday. Crank crank FIREfire crankcrankcrankcrank. OH oh, fast starter sydrome. Try WOT, nothing, try 1/2OT nothing, try waiting about 2 minutes, the same crankcrankcrank. Made me a half hour late to work. I cranked on it about 1/2 hour, (off and on)...

Og say: 'Just mash it down and latch.' Might skip back.

I say what is the worst that could happen? Take the drive out, take it apart, see what happened. It may be as simple as the cable that converts rotary to linear motion got jacked.

Not enough to notice over the 'road crown' issue.

103 where I work. 110 in the M1A1 I was testing. 75 at home. Drought dry.

I changed all mine earlier this year. I took off all lower plastic and got to the three instrument panel screws through the little panel in the center front. I had to use a stubby and offset screwdrivers. NOT easy but did not have to remove the whole front fairing. My biggest gripe is the...
