    Edit: Does Cruise Control return to "Zero"?

    Years ago I installed an Audiovox cruise on a Vstrom and there was one thing I didn’t like about it. That was how the throttle grip constantly moved (due to the mechanical cable connection) when I was trying to keep my hands warm with grip heaters. Constantly fighting or trying to anticipate...

    Bar end nut removal?

    Any tips on bar end nut removal, you know, the nut encased in rubber inside the handlebars? I’ve tried pulling, tapping, oiling and twisting. I’m avoiding removing the grips and heating the bar for now. I certain it’s removable, as it’s available as a replacement part. Looks to be just a rubber...

    Clutch pushrod ball?

    Ive got a problem with my clutch completely engaging at full lever pull. I changed out my 06 clutch slave cylinder for an earlier model, hoping for easier lever pull, and believe the ball on the pushrod fell out during the swap. After replacing and bleeding the slave, the clutch lever would...

    F150 Engine recommendations

    Thinking of replacing our really tired 99 F150 and am not up to date on the engine selections available. Used to tow large two horse trailer (not fifth wheel) and possibly small travel trailer. Budget appears to be keeping us in the 2010-15 year model range. We've been happy with our tired 4.6...

    TPS readout

    Im going thru checks on my new to me 06 and ran the diagnostics on the tps. The large number came up 102, where it should be 100. Does this mean its in turbo mode? Will my FJR blow up if I give it full throttle? Seriously, is it worth adjusting the sensor for that discrepancy?
