Mine does same sort of thing when plugs are shot, try changing them out and clean air filter Also when battery is on the way out it will intermittently not turn over clock / trip meters will all reset to 0. Now keep bike on tender whenever at home and this battery is going on 6 years old now...

After many miles you know by your rpms what gear you are in at highway speeds. Actually when my speed sensor quit couple years back rode with no Speedo for a bit while new one was on order and it is amazing how you really do know you speed by rpms, not one ticket :-) Sent from my SGH-I747M...

Buddy of mine is thinking about purchasing a used 1200 Monster not the S model and he asked if I knew anything about them which I do not. Anyone ridden one or know someone who owns one?

Nice to see for a change that NO laws where broken in the filming of these videos lol

Have to agree to bad VR got stood up otherwise I am sure he also would have been up there
