That seems odd considering it is a gear specific problem. Does the throttle body know what gear you are in?

Actually TiO2 is a common ingredient in pharmaceutical coatings. I used to work as a quality control analyst at a company that makes tablet coatings and that's what they used for white. Just remember this, chemical names can be very deceiving. An element that may be dangerous on its own may be...

My local shop in Southeastern PA has a '13 for $8998. Great deal. I love the look but I just don't see me having a use for it. http://www.montgomeryvillecc.com/2013YamahaXTZ12DG-inventory.htm?id=718025&used=1&vin=

Both options are nice but I like DIY stuff like the OP's solution.

Did anyone mention the battery? I'd want to make sure that is new too. My original 2009 battery still works fine but I ride the bike and keep it on a battery tender in the winter.

Did the OP edit out the part about carrying a passenger or am I missing something?

Fixing Boo boos Not today but last Sunday I wired in a replacement heated hand grip on the left side of my Electra Glide after I snapped all four of its wires while trying to take the grip off. I had the dealer install new bars back in October and do all the wiring internally. They were...

Careful I used 3M adhesive remover (03618) on my gen2. It is safe for paint but do not spray it anywhere near your bike or car. Spray it on a rag. I accidentally ruined a blinker lens and got some spots on the inner fairing because it sprays out fast. Before trying this stuff I was just using...

Like the look I just saw the Z1000 last weekend at the local Kawi dealer. We were just making our way across the showroom after talking to a friend and my girlfriend stopped and pointed it out because of how cool it looks. I am also jealous that you are able to rid right now. Have fun!

Me too, sort of. I have this problem with my Grand Cherokee. It even has auto level adjusting headlights because it has adjustable height suspension. Approximately 1 in 30 people will flash their lights at me.

Odd One The only issue I can recall involved a man who was either drunk or high. I was on my Electra Glide. He kept pulling up next to me and yelling but I don't think he was angry. I think he was trying to talk to me but nothing he said made any sense. I was just afraid because he was driving...

Close By That Hopewell furnace is just under an hour from my house. I'll have to make an afternoon ride of it.

I learned to ride on my dad's '69 Suzuki TC120 enduro. He would let me ride it on the street when I was 15 and i used it for my license test. The first bike I owned was a '74 Honda CB750.

Very nice look. I especially like the simple look of the headlight.

Not my cup of tea My other bike is an Electra Glide so I'm kind of biased toward the baggers. I like having the FZ1 for the speed and handling and the bagger for two-up touring. I see the Breakout as a compromise that isn't going to be great for either purpose.

Not so much FZ1: maybe 250 miles Electra Glide: 2441 miles last I checked My girlfriend will never ride on the FZ1 again since I bought the Electra Glide so I hardly ride it. I think I'll be selling it next spring. It also doesn't agree with my back too well.

Shop? Do you know of a decent wheel repair shop where you live? If it were me I would start with a quote. You would be amazed at the work some of these guys are capable of. I had two of my GTO wheels widened 1.5" and the guy who did it showed me some of his repair work. I would have assumed the...

That looks like the first thing he listed as having done. And OP, please tell me you don't have your ignition key on a key ring.

Damn U.S. Emmisions Laws! Lucky Canadians get all the fun 2 strokes!

Ouch! That must have been the most painful tatoo ever!
