I think that the Universal Intercom feature has some good possibilities: Pairing with riders who have helmet intercoms other than the Sena line. Pairing with the driver of a chase car who has a bluetooth headset. One limitation that I would like to see lifted is the documented limit of four...

Whoops. I didn't realize you had the "R" version... which doesn't have the jog dial (big rotatable button). I tried out the 5.0 firmware tonight by having my son put my phone's bluetooth headset on, then put his helmet on over it. I'd already successfully paired them using the Universal...

Are you committed to VOX? I just use the jog-dial to start and end intercom sessions. It's always worked well, and we've even left the "channel" open for long stretches without any conversation going on. I haven't even tried the VOX. The jog dial is so easy to hit that I have a friend who just...

What are you measuring from/to? I read somewhere that you should measure from the swing arm pivot shaft to the center of the axle bolt. That's a really long set of calipers! :justkidding: To be honest, I picked up a chain alignment tool that clamps on to the rear sprocket and runs a straight...

I pay anywhere from $5 to $30 at my local shop, depending on the owner's mood. I take the wheels off myself. I also stop in occasionally with coffee or tickets and chat, and I've sent some business his way over the last few years. It pays to have a good relationship with the mechanic... in some...

Spark plugs are a good place to start. You also might do the "paper towel" test where you check to make sure all cylinders are firing by checking the temps of your headers. Personally, I spray some water on them after the bike has warmed up a bit. The water sizzles as it boils off each pipe...

Stared at it for a while hoping that it would magically make the snow disappear. When that didn't work, I swapped out the brake pads on the front.

I've always wanted to do a "Sunrise - Sunset" ride from Lake Huron to Lake Michigan around the lower peninsula of Michigan, but the "Twistybutt" sounds amazing! Leaves anything that Michigan has to offer flailing along the roadside. Looking forward to seeing some photos in May! How many...

Not an FZ1, but maybe some inspiration.

Last 30 miles of a 500-mile day in the twisties. Not even paying attention to the speedo when a buddy and I crested a hill and there was a West Virginia trooper in the median. "Shit" came over the intercom as we eased off the gas while the trooper pulled out behind us. Me: "You want to pull...

SW Motech really stands by their stuff, too. I had an old model tank bag fade from black to a bit purple. When I asked them if there was anything I could do to restore the black, they asked for some pictures and promptly replaced the whole thing. New model hasn't faded at all. If I hadn't...

Not my tire of choice, but I noticed that today's Motorcycle Superstore deal of the day is a 180/55-17 Michelin Power Pure rear tire for $79.99. Some of you might use it, and that seems like a very attractive price. Deal of the Day - Motorcycle Superstore

:jaw drop: Car rim?! It never even crossed my non-creative mind that someone would do this. I find it intriguing. I know that putting a car tire on the back of a bike is called "darksiding" but is there a term for putting a car rim and motorcycle tire on a bike? I'm not sure that I like it...

That's going to be a lot harder to do when he is 65 pounds of muscle! I have to admit, I wish I had worked a little harder to acclimate our "little" dog to the bike. I've never seriously considered putting our boxer on it, to be honest. He's officially my wife's dog, and she'd be almost as upset...

Bronson is an awesome name! Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4

Boxers are awesome. We have a one-year-old (Henry) at home. Other than my Alpinestars motorcycle boots, he's left most of my personal stuff alone. My wife has lost a few pairs of shoes, countless pairs of undergarments, and he ate the stuffing out of the couch cushion. He also has an affinity...

Travelling somewhere along the Ohio Turnpike when it starts to rain fairly heavily. There's a "rest stop" coming up and I decide to pull in and take a break to let the first 20 minutes of rain wash the crap off the roads. Not terribly worried as I had rain gear on and it wasn't cold. The rest...

There are some resources on http://lanesplittingislegal.com that might help. The site is California-specific, but references some attempts in other states to legalize splitting/sharing.

Good luck! Hope everything goes smoothly and you're riding by nightfall!
