Bring some beer back with you, Tom! See ya in MN.
Good time at the GR3! A couple of us did some impromptu Airhead tech and got bikes tuned up and running better. Or at least the owners said the...

I have recently read some articles about an old dirt/desert racer who has developed types of prosthetics just for operating motorcycles. I want to say Malcolm Smith, but I don't remember for...
Roy, if there is some way "we" can help make next year possible, I'd enjoy having Rachel and Nancy there.
Hi, Dale!:dance See you there!
I might suggest placing some electrical tape over the mic port to cut down on the wind noise.
GR3 next week?
Oh, m eyes!
Ah, the wonders of modern technology. So that little thing seems worth it?
Let me check my social calendar........Sure, it's a go.
If I remember correctly, you weren't feeling much of anything.:hungover
See you there!
(Now unemployed!):nyah
Contact Hotspice (Tony) of Cyclenutz. He has a plate that uses the screws for the diagnostic port holder and angles toward the tank. I used one on 1150GS and 1150 RT-P and everything fits quite...
Without pix it didn't happen!:laugh
As you look down at the top of the m/c with the reservoir removed, you should see 2 ports running in line along the direction of the piston stroke. One should be larger, the other smaller and closer...
I remember the predecessor to this forum. Egad, has it been 10 years?
Echoing the above responses, but I'd try first removing the reservoir from the master cylinder and ensuring the return port is clear. A strand of wire from a stranded wire is useful as a probe for...
A dealer once told me that the purpose of those lines was for the warmth of the headlight to act as a defroster on the glass cover, and the lines were to help it perform that function faster/better.
One other item to consider about running the bike in the garage, as has been mentioned, is condensation buildup. After a run and the exhaust cools, moisture forms in the exhaust. Over time this...
As we recommend to our customers, when it comes time to park for the season, take the bike for a nice, long ride, say 50 miles or so. Then when you get back, while the engine isstill warm, do an oil...
Presuming you have disconnected the battery, consider removing the front cover and cleaning all the connectors on the diode board and alternator, check the condition of the brushes, look inside the...
My nickel's worth - I hadn't planned on hitting a deer the day it happened, and I had just left work and was still on company property when it happened. But when I woke up in the ditch and found...
I used a short piece of wire and two male bullet connectors, crimped to the wire, then used as a jumper. Unplug the switch, attach the jumper \, no problem. You won't have to do any repairs later,...
Phil, you're not talking about the one drop of oil, then run to redline for 30 seconds, are you?
Indeed, the reason is to obtain a more accurate torque, in that first, as I understand it, you must first break free the possible "bonding" between the fasteners and the clamped surfaces. It's been...
Wow, it really must suck to be you and have to put up with that stuff.
Nicely done!
It's true there are horror stories, but I've been across Big Mac a few times on two and four wheels, with nothing bad happening.
As a cheap next-to-last-resort, instead of contact cleaner, try WD-40. The cycle the switch a few times. It can't hurt.
