Bike's all packed and I leave in about six hours for a nine-day trip. Six of us are leaving from Detroit and we'll stop in Charleston, WV tonight, then on to Salisbury, NC tomorrow for two days of training at Cornerspin. On Sunday, we'll head west for Franklin, NC where we'll hook up with about...

Getting ready to leave for a trip to Cornerspin, then Deal's Gap and a ton of other roads in the area. Will be gone for a week (and something north of 2000 miles) so I put on new Pilot Road 4's, gave the chain a good cleaning and changed the oil. Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

Awesome to hear that so many of us are "daily" riders. I ride almost every day too, but it was great to see a few more bikes on the road. I was in a great mood on the way to work, and even stepped up my "wave" to the point where I probably only had my clutch-hand on the bars for about 1/2 of my...

Today's ride to work day! I took a chance on the thunderstorms forecast for SE Michigan and came to work on two wheels. I also stepped up my "biker wave" this morning and laughed myself silly as I got the puzzled head twist from passing riders! Ride to Work Day

I can't open the videos, so just going off past experience. Based on what you've eliminated, check the coils. I've had to replace two coils on my 2008. Never threw a code. I did the "water" test on the headers (warmed up the bike and sprayed water on each one) and one pipe didn't "sizzle" the...

Ordered a full set that are waiting at the shop until I get a little closer to my North Carolina/Tennessee trip at the end of June. I have PR3s on it now. Timing is about perfect for the rear and a little early for the front. Going to replace both at the same time anyway. Sent from my Galaxy S3...

I took my FZ1 to the track (Mid-Ohio) last year and saw 130-140 on the back straight, with more room to go (I just suck). Stock everything at that point. At no point did I feel the bike was unstable. Granted, the bike's not a super-sport, but some of them have dreams!

Ok. Not this time. Good luck with the bikex Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

Yikes. Glad to hear you're ok, all things considered. When are you going to be in Detroit? I work in Dearborn and would be happy to buy you a "congratulations on surviving" lunch or at least coffee. Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

Agreed wrt Marc. Amazing to watch him work his way through the pack when he drops from the pole. Almost makes me wonder if he lets it happen in order to make the race a little more interesting and challenging for himself. I'm guessing I could look this up on the 'Net somewhere, but does anyone...

I picked up a set of side cases used for about half-price, but I was looking on-and-off for about a year. I really like that paint scheme. Having the covers on the bags painted the same color really sets everything off nicely.

About 35000 on my 2008. Picked it up in September of 2011 with 2400 miles on it.

A member of my club bought a pair of these recently. We tried them out once with our SMH10's and found similar results. It would be nice if we could use the jog dial to initiate and close conversations, but having to hold a PTT button on a radio while travelling down the road proved to be too...

M8-40, standard threads. In case anyone is looking in the future. Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

Apparently I didn't tighten the exhaust hanger bolt on Friday when I was messing with the new exhaust. Can anyone identify the size of the bolt I need? Seems like I should be able to pick it up at any decent local hardware store. It's #5 in the diagram below. Part number "90109-08170-00 BOLT" if...

Louder than I'm used to, but not quite up there with my old Shadow and its straight pipes. I'm not sure what you mean by "low tone or high" -- would love an explanation. Here's some video of it running. http://youtu.be/kiuvmfwi_W8

Installed a slip-on and EXUP eliminator. Waffled about whether to gut the cat or not, but when I pulled the stock exhaust off, I discovered that the previous owner had done the work for me. Hard to believe that I've had this bike for almost three years and never knew it.

Many of the posts in the forums refer to the "old" site. It doesn't look like "redirects" work to the same point on the new site. When I follow a link to an old article (e.g. Object moved), I get directed to the home page. If I replace the old site with the new site (and leave everything else...

Tapatalk works fine for me too, but I did have to remove the "old" forum and visit the new URL in order to start getting updates again.

I was exploring the "What's New" section. When I click on the "New Group Messages" link, the following pair of Warnings are displayed: Warning: Declaration of vBForum_Item_SocialGroupMessage::getLoadQuery() should be compatible with vB_Model::getLoadQuery($required_query = '', $force_rebuild =...
