My vote is in.

Sounds like you are on the right track. Somehow the circuit is being energized. It might be as simple as a couple of exposed crimp connectors touching.

Have you still got stock header? Check the lambda sensor in the header. Then I would check the air temp sensor.

Sorry, never mind. Life got in the way of a ride this weekend, so don't wait for me.

You should send a few pictures to your favourite bike magazine to showcase it.

Yep I'm All about safety...... Kids, don't try this at home. Professional stuntman on a closed course. But seriously; AGATT. I'm too old for trying to look cool and broken bones and skin graphes hurt.

This Weekend The weather is supposed to be decent this weekend. I'll seee what I can come up with. It snowed here yesterday.:mad:

There is nothing wrong with those. They protect all the important areas and are shaped and tall enough to stay put in a crash. TCX make some very good boots and most less money than the "Big" brands. I'd wear those on the street.

There is no such thing as "overkill" on footwear. I have had good boots save my feet and legs too many times to count. Boots that give shin and achiles protection as well as a sole stiff enough to not let your foot "fold" are as important as a good helmet and gloves. In town I will ride in jeans...

Skid Plate After a few seasons my Skid Plate looked like this: It was pretty once. This is a 1/4 inch thick aluminum piece that was powder coated. No dual-sport, especially a wet sump should venture off pavement without one. As pretty as that bike is, it wouldn't stay that way long if it...

Those Elka shocks are very nice, right up there with Ohlins. Good Luck with the sale.

Don't Presume As an old married guy with daughters, don't make the mistake of "thinking that you know best" for her. Let her show you what bikes she likes, then help narrow it down based on the good suggestions that have been given in previous posts. Any bike is going to start out exiciting...

Finally rode it. I remembered how easily it wheelies, especially with empty fuel tanks on my way to the gas station. :angel: Did a short shake-down run and enjoyed at how incredibly well balanced and manueverable this bike is.

Signs of Getting Old When you start to appreciate Bob Seger more than you used to and the look of Harleys. From a purely looks point of view ( mostly the pretty paint jobs) I don't mind Harley bikes. Stock pipes aren't even too bad. Don't get me wrong, I'd never pay the outrageous coin they...

I had to laugh yesterday. Our lane is clear enough to get out to the street which is dry as are most roads here now. My neighbor a few doors down pulled his Harley out for its first ride of the season. Beanie helmet, check, chaps, check, then before putting it in gear, stereo loud enough to hear...

That will stop after a few posts automatically. Just a site security feature to frustrate spammers.

Tire Change Party My buddies came over this morning to change out the studded tires on their XR's on my new tire bench. It was so much easier than doing it kneeling on the floor. Sorry, no action shots. Even with rim locks, and filthy rims, it was almost fun, it was so easy. Proper tire lube...

The links don't work but I managed to find the hooligan videos anyway. Fun with other peoples bikes, Yeah Baby, the life of a bike journalist!

You do like usual bikes, but someone has to. I'll admit to thinking the Rukus looks like fun, as long as my friends don't see me...... I wonder how much air-time I could get with one?

Novelty Factor They are the bike equivalent to white plastic rimmed sunglasses. Pure novelty factor. They come across like a skooter or the like the tricycles that Elephants used to ride in the circus. OK maybe a bit more practical. Remember the pit bikes from the 80's that looked like...
