    Why am I getting such long tire life?

    My roadsmarts were looking great at 8k miles too but were shot before 10k. It seemed like they were gonna last forever but then practically overnight they just wore out.

    I just bought a 2008AE!

    They mix just fine, its a bit of a learning curve but once you get it down its very easy to control the clutch via the throttle. You just have to avoid dropping it before you learn. I came close once in the first few weeks I had my AE but now its second nature.

    Why Sat radio

    Howard brought 6 million listeners to Sirius in his first year. 6 mill X $10.00 = 60 mill a month in new revenues to Sirius. Howard is being paid 100mill a year for 5 years. In just 1.5 months his listeners pay his annual salary. I know I low balled the monthly service fee, I've been with...

    FJRF003.1: Ignition Switch

    I was one of the ones who already had mine fail, my dealer, after some prodding from YAMAHA CORP did replace it and switched out the lock cylinder so still one key. I just called over there and the dealer is aware of the Official Recall. He also informed me that there is NO DIFFERENCE IN THE...

    Sidecase Lid Angle

    Thank you, that was one of those things that annoyed me but not enough to look too closely at it. Actually I just avoided the left sid bag all together. Not any more!

    I think that bike committed suicide..

    Good stuff, I cant believe how nice his friends were not to slam him. They would have had to break out the O2 tank and heart paddles if I were there to revive me from all the hazing and laughing Id be doing!

    LCD TV's

    I have 2 plasmas, one is a 50 inch Samsung, the other a 42 inch Panasonic. Both are outstanding. Sony is Great but no better then Samsung and I find Sony a little over priced. LCD will run cooler then Plasma and LCD can be installed at any angle where there is a limit to the angle a Plasma...

    Actually this is a Chinese bike that I bought on line for $634.00 delivered. It has a 110cc Honda clone engine and is actually not the POS I thought it would be for so cheap. Without being broken in yet Ive had it up to 45MPH and its a really cool toy. Its an X-18 Super Pocket Bike. For very...

    Satellite Radio for GPS

    I've had sirius for years and Love that Stern is on there. I've had XM for a couple of months now on the ZUMO. Sirius, in my opinion has better programming and DJs. Serious is cheaper also. The package offers from XM suck pricewise and your right, if you want BEST OF SIRIUS its expensive...

    5k miles on Front Dunlop Roadsmart

    (At 5k Miles) Just a quick report. With mixed riding, slab and city and a fair amount of SPIRITED riding in mountian curves. I just replaced the front tire. It had a predominant flat spot and was bald in the center. The rear Roadsmart is still in very good shape and at the advice of this...
