Thanks for the suggestions, added to my list of things to do before winter sets in....you guys probably already are aware of this site but I found it while researching your favorites - www.ericsroads.com - great site with the same roads listed. Thanks again, Dave

What is your favorite twisty road in Washington? Now I'm talking about something at least 45 miles long, traffic not to bad, and decent pavement. Could be sweepers or peg scrapers, preferably no more than a few hours from the Seattle. Good cafe or roadhouse would be a bonus. Suggestions? TIA, Dave

Finally got the heli coil - had to order it, apparently not a common size...bike is back together and running like a top again. Back on the road! Woot! Thanks again fo all the advice, Dave

Thanks for the heads up on the tightening sequence re: collar and frame - don't know that I would have done that....

Got the plastic off (again) and found a very nice little spacer in the frame held in by a pinch bolt. After removal I gained plenty of room for a drill bit and to install a helicoil with out dropping the motor. Lots of meat in the engine mount to drill out as well. Got the helicoil on order (not...

So got all the electrical bugs worked out and you know what happened, yeah, I stripped out the 12X1.25 bolt that holds my motivation sliders (right side) on. I get the heli coil thing but has anyone used the time-sert widgets? Better than the heli coils? Second question is do I need to drop the...

Looked at the wiring diagram in the manual and saw that the horn was also on that fuse circuit. I have the horn going through my fuse block. Fuse block is ony powered when I turn the key on through another relay that senses power to the running lights. Fuse only blew when I started the bike so...

Found it....bad horn relay. Looks good but shorted out inside.

No heated grips and the headlights are on a different fused circuit - only extras are man horns and a GPS that are run off of a Blue Sea fuse block. Off to the garage to strip off the plastic.

Sooooo, If you recall I thought that I may have an impending spider problem and had an issue with blowing the fuse that runs the brake light, neutral indicator and the windshield motor. I got the Brodie harness installed (Thanks Brodie, quality work there, and thanks Ashe for selling me...

Yup, will install a Brodie, along with dielectric grease, and wrap with rigging tape. Don't want to tear the bke down again chasing the next buss to fail.... Sincerely, Dave

How many miles did you have on the bike when this occurred? 13,500 miles

Scuba and Kaitsdad, thanks for the reply. I have found and checked all the spiders, visually they appear ok - there is no catastrophic melting. Was kind of hoping for a big glob of goo so I could be sure of the problem. :glare: I have a Brodie harness on the way, so if nothing else I'll get...

Hey all, noob here, 2006 A, 13,500 mi, only farkles are man horns and a Garmin Zumo 550, both are running off of a Blue Sea fuse block that is wired directly to the battery. Horns are going through a relay. On to the issue...a few weeks ago the GPS starts acting up, wont turn on at start up...
