    Stuck on Rear ABS Bleed Procedure

    I've used SpeedBleeders and a Mighty-Vac on an AE model. I might suggest trying it again. Make sure the brake is off (at-rest). Make sure the SpeedBleeder has been turned out between 1/2 and 1 turns (still needs to be loosened to operate and tightened to lock it). Make sure the cap is off and...

    Garmin Zumo discount

    I don't know if they are coming out with a new unit and I don't know if they are trying to clear out inventory. I have seen this $100 off "sale" of the XT every year a couple times a year. Generally before Christmas and then again just before summer. I always say I'm going to get one... then I...

    The WHY NOT 2023 is a reality!

    I like the shirt, but after seeing the size of the logo... I may pass on the tattoo.... (free or not)

    The WHY NOT 2023 is a reality!

    …and then… there are the quiet ones... The ones that don’t hold their head up high, but don’t look down often. They’ll stare you square in the eye, and can sense a poser by the way he breathes. The quiet ones don’t play into the hype or drama of announcing their arrival… and don’t succumb to...

    CCT

    2008 and my original CCT was not marked. Now new and improved, sporting a green dot! My original was definitely very weak compared to the replacement.

    Not a "Reuben Run or The Last Hurrah" - Gauging Interest on a First Annual " Why Not? " in Lapine, OR

    Hmmmm... I like John Day... if you make it a 3-day gathering it could be the "Day to Day to Day Rally". I'll keep an eye on this! Barring any summer family scheduling conflicts, I'm in!

    Broken Rear Subframe

    Not that I'm an expert, but most of the failures I have seen are loaded with a case or something and not using the OEM Heavy Rack (or Givi, or others). The Heavy Rack creates a lot of structural integrity. Without it, there is flex. It is my theory that it is the flex that kills it. I'm sure...

    I forked myself.

    Also, on reassembly, you can talk to Traxxion, but I don't think they replace the middle bushing. I think they build them with upper and lower only.

    I forked myself.

    Archer, fear not. The mid/lower bushing jam is a fairly normal issue. I might recommend calling Traxxion and asking their method for removing a particularly stubborn pair? I'm certain they would have a lot of experience on these. While your talking to them, you can ask their availability on...

    Leaning...

    Yamaha Champions Riding School, the old Freddie Spencer school, headed up by Nick Ienatsch, has a program called Champ U and it is the best $50 I've spent ever. It is comprised of the instruction for the 2-day track school, but in a video format. You can view it as many times as you want and...

    CFR2022 Room share thread

    I just called to arrange an addition for dinner Friday night and the lady said, as of 6/14, there is one king bedroom and one two-queen room available. If you are tenting, I'm in Space 19 at the municipal campground and I've got more than enough room for another tent or two.
