I was in the process of replacing the charging cord necessitated by a new phone. In order to do that the gas tank had to be raised. I notice that the heat shield was missing. I haven't looked under the tank since I had a valve clearance check two years ago. Do you think I could bring this up...

I will be attending the weSTOC24 gathering in Calgary in late June. I will be traveling with a St1300 rider from Washington named Dale. Dale has a Sena 20S and wants me to purchase one so we can communicate during our ride to Calgary. I have noticed there are several models of Sena 20S units...

I can't find any information on the motorcycle meet in Baker I read about earlier. Did I miss it or was it cancelled? I have been busy this summer house hunting and finally moving. not done yet. I thought maybe this was one get together I could attend. I also plan to make Rueben run 7.

I recently moved after living in the same place for 24 years and what a job getting rid of the stuff accumulated over those years. I am asking $50 each for the mirrors and I will pay the shipping. These mirrors are like new. Removed them shortly after purchase to install mirrors that allow...

I was told about six years ago that I had pre age related macular degeneration. My symptoms were a group of blood vessels near the optic nerve in my right eye. My ophthalmologist told me to come in every three months and see if the blood vessels were moving toward the optic nerve. This could...

I planned to do a coolant change, but had problems removing the panel over the radiator cap. I removed all of the fasteners and pried the panel loose all but at the end at the large front panel. Being afraid of breaking the end off of the panel I gave up. Do you think the large front panel...

I have recently been having trouble listening to my music and talk radio while riding. I am using a set of Uclear blue tooth earpods and a Galaxy III phone. I walk with this system almost daily and have no problems. I get a loud Bleep Bleep quite often making it almost impossible to listen...

While washing the bugs off of the front of my fjr this morning I notice a loud rattle when the fender was moved. I was late leaving for the Golf Course so thought I would tighten the bolts when I got back from golf. I later found that the bolts were tight but the fender was loose. Any...

My 2013 FJR sat another six month in the carport while I wintered in California. After arriving back in Salem I was unable tp ride it for lack of a helmet. So I ordered a new Shoei Neotec helmet. It arrived yesterday and I decided to take the bike and helmet for a spin. After riding my Wee...

Got back to Salem from California on Monday. Went for a morning walk with my brother-in-law and he mentioned that he couldn't get my lawnmower started. I told him it was probably water in the gas caused by the alcohol in it. When we got back home I drained the gas and bought some fresh fuel...

I am helping Flybye install a fuse block and an not sure what color of wire to tap into in the taillight bundle for a relay trigger. I am pretty certain I used a brown wire. Don't have my manual here in California.

I am not certain if this report is a ride report, injury report or maybe an other bike report, but here it is. I purchased a 2014 650 V-Strom while in Oregon this summer. I plan to keep it in California for my winter riding. My wife didn't want me to ride it down here so I had it shipped by a...

AN IRISHMAN'S FIRST DRINK WITH HIS SON I was reading an article last night about fathers and sons, and memories came flooding back of the time I took my son out for his first drink.. Off we went to our local bar, which is only two blocks from the house. I got him a Miller Genuine...

When I started my recently purchased Wee-Strom for its ride home, I was concerned with the rough idle but quickly remembered that it is a V-twin and not as smooth a running engine as in my FJR. I also noticed the lack of power compared to the FJR. The next day I took her for a ride in the...

I am considering a second bike to ride in the winter while in California. There are dirt roads in the Palm Springs area that would be a lot of fun to ride. I researched some of the 250 dual sport bikes, but thought I would need something more substantial for street riding. Something I could...

I can't remember how to access a map of the US with forum members locations. I believe you could access states and cities to see where members were located. I guess you can blame my age if you like.

Before my trip to the "Gathering of the Clans" I had new tires that I purchased online installed by the dealer that sold me my bike. They charged me $110 for the install and balance. Just before leaving I rode on the freeway and noticed that tires felt out of balance at higher speeds. I...
