    I called this one in not too long ago and believed problem was solved with the idle adjustment being reset to 1100 rpm. Today I went riding with my friends on some short errands where we stopped for a minimum of 5 minutes to a max of 20. Each time I started the bike it would stutter and fall...

    Saved By The Horn

    Didn't take long to test out my new Piaa horns. Driver decided to change lanes and I let her have it. You could see the look of terror on her face.

It states that you should run bike for several minutes and cut engine for several minutes to determine oil level. This may be splitting hairs but is 3 minutes on by 3 off sufficient to determine an accurate...
