Cool! There's a relatively new member on here from this area - if this happens, I'll PM him to see if he wants to come along...I can help with the electricals, that's easy. Tires, brakes, fork oil and springs, changing the rear shock, and almost anything electrical I can handle. If I do wind up doing the valve check my self, I'll invite you to attend (and I'll be happy to walk through the electrical stuff with you). BWhile I can't help with anything mechanical, I'm very interested in attending. I need some help with the way my GPS wiring is routed. Anything I can learn about this bike is a good thing.
But I've got plans the last weekend of April - taking my son to WV... any other weekend in April is good.
Would that new member be from Bear Delaware? And is he ridin a real purdy Red 2004?Cool!

Hey, I just remembered... I have a Murph's kit cruise control lying around too (if you're feeling really adventurous!)
Sounds like an overnight stay is in order...Hmmm, 350 miles from NH.... But, also NYC and a good chunk of NJ in between the two points.
Which ever bike is going to have a valve check done should be at room temperature before doing the check. Service manuals usually specify some temperature range like 65º - 85º but Yamaha just says a cold engine at room temperature.
NYC and NJ are good reasons to take the long way around. I don't even like driving through in my cager.Hmmm, 350 miles from NH.... But, also NYC and a good chunk of NJ in between the two points.
Riding in/around/through Manhattan is survival training on an FJR. Truckers complain about the roads in Penna, Ridin to New York through North Jersey is an experience to be missed if at all possible. NY State is great (if you can avoid the safety patrols), Jersey is rough traveling.NYC and NJ are good reasons to take the long way around.

I lived in Palisades, NY and Mountain View NJ; my parents lived in Princeton NJ for quit a while so I had plenty of opportunity to enjoy this area. My mother lives in Knoxville and when I go to visit her I take the way westerly route to avoid all of that good fun. I can't seem to ride through NY without getting stopped, in fact my last ticket was written by a NY Trooper. While living in NY I managed to get my right to drive revoked because of constant Imperial Entanglements.Riding in/around/through Manhattan is survival training on an FJR.

If I can get a day off in my schedule and a hole in the weather I'm thinking that I may get my first longish ride of the year down your way. The trick will be figuring out some fancy routing.
Interesting...I don't know what to tell you. We go up to Americade every year. For shits and giggles, I like to run up the GSP to the Thruway getting into NY State. I can never seem to find the time to run backroads getting to a destination. The fancy routing might just be Route 202 towards my neck o' the woods.I lived in Palisades, NY and Mountain View NJ; my parents lived in Princeton NJ for quit a while so I had plenty of opportunity to enjoy this area.

They have a ferry that runs that route??? I'd take it! Inquiring minds wanna know.Ferry to and from NH to Philadelphia?I lived in Palisades, NY and Mountain View NJ; my parents lived in Princeton NJ for quit a while so I had plenty of opportunity to enjoy this area.

Actually, I casually checked that and...... no it doesn't look like there is a service and I'm not at all surprisedThey have a ferry that runs that route??? I'd take it! Inquiring minds wanna know.
Being stuck out on this overcrowded sandbar I've got (sadly) a few experiences with this. I've got family down in N.C. and the thought of getting through the city at most times has stopped me from taking the bike. This year though I'm going to make more of an effort to get out and explore some of PA if I can.Riding in/around/through Manhattan is survival training on an FJR.

I went to Sag Harbor once...
Go southwest, then south... in that order.If I can get a day off in my schedule and a hole in the weather I'm thinking that I may get my first longish ride of the year down your way. The trick will be figuring out some fancy routing.
