    EOM 2015 Home Safe Thread

    We got some good riding in on Sunday and Monday. The weather was perfect. To bad it couldn't have been like that for the whole weekend.

    Gas in Oil-- How?

    No never really thought of it. But thanks for putting that in my head. :) My guess from looking at the plug is that it burnt off. I'll just have to run it and see how it goes. Don't know of way to track down something like that anyways without a complete tear down and rebuild, which is...

    Gas in Oil-- How?

    Okay I got the plugs changed. All four were definately fouled (black). One of the plugs had the little wire thing that hangs down from the plug and the [L] completely burnt off. I'm wondering if this could be the root of my problem with gas getting in the oil. Since the plug, I'm sure, wasn't...

    Gas in Oil-- How?

    Thanks everyone for all the input. I'm working with MDisher to help me get the plugs changed and possibly a Throttle body sync. I was getting a light black smoke before I took it back to the shop the second time. The bike was smoking really bad and wanting to stall at stops unless I was...

    Gas in Oil-- How?

    I'm in Dayton, Ohio. I can change the oil and have before. But I haven't gotten into the engine to change the plugs. Are they easy to get to?

    Gas in Oil-- How?

    I knew I needed and oil change and I had a slight knock/ping so I wanted them to check the cam chain tensioner to see if that was the cause. I also had them do the 12K maintenance. Other than that no problems. They said my knock was from dirty oil, I was a little over due for an oil change...

    Gas in Oil-- How?

    I'll give this a try. Should I just use Sea Foam or Techron?

    Gas in Oil-- How?

    Yes the bike starts running like a dog and starts stalling at stops unless I keep up the rpms by using throttle.

    Gas in Oil-- How?

    I have an '07 with about 12K on it. I had it into the shop in March for 12K maintenance and oil change. After riding it about 500 mi. I noticed it was smoking like a crop duster. After checking the oil it looked as if it was overfilled. I drained about 3/4 of a quart to get it back to normal...

    Russell seat

    Mine didn't fit right the first attempt either. Sent it back and got adjustments done. Now it's a good fit and I like so much better than before. I also had the pillion done for my girlfriend and it was perfect the first time.

    Need advice on heated gloves...

    Yes Red is power input. Black is for connection to pants. Gloves connect to the plugs on arms. The controller controls all outputs. I'm not sure on the second controller.

    Big ups to Tourmaster's Sentinel rain gear!

    I have the sentinel rain gear as well. With a little work you can fit both the jacket and pants in the pouch that comes with the pants. I can fit my xl pants and jacket in the single pouch about the size of the one piece shown above

    WTB: Madco cam lock for Gen II

    I'm looking at getting a Madco Cam Lock for the FJR. I have one on my VTX and really like it. I'm getting ready to put on a G2 throttle tamer and some heated grips. So it's the perfect time to add the Madco Cam Lock. Thought I'd check here first to see if anyone has one they're not using or...
