Everyone, Here's a local story that says the ceremony is this Friday 2/20/09 but gives no details. After reading the paper yesterday it stirred up memories of Jordan's sacrifice. God Bless all who serve... dgfella

After reading this Puig crap, I'm so pissed. What a jerk. He's neglecting to mention that Honda was feeding Nicky all the 'experimental' stuff and giving it to Pedrosa only after Nicky worked out the kinks. Pedrosa was their premier rider, and he couldn't produce. All the BS about Dani's...

Everyone: Thanks for the replies. I cannot spin the wheel more than an 1/8th of a revolution. I've driven about 50 miles with this situation and it hasn't gotten any better. My next step is to disassemble the calipers and thoroughly clean the pistons with a toothbrush and brake cleaner...

Sport: The wheel free spins just a bit. There is defintely drag on the wheel. It's as if the brakes are not fully releasing. They are rubbing against the rotors. The rotors heat up considerably when you ride. I rode the bike 10 miles or so to see if that made a difference, but it did not...

Gang, I finally got around to putting on the Galfer rotors, front and rear. I also replaced the pads as well with Carbon Lorraines. It appears that both wheels have a bit of drag on them, and are not releasing fully. I've bled the brakes, but they still stick. I also partially diassembled...

Ski, if you were watching them, then I stand corrected and apologize to all dealers/mechanics out there.

You got snowed dude... I've got a 2005 and every time I've done a check with a synchronizer, they've needed to be tweaked. Bottom line, if they went to the trouble of hooking up the device, then they would have adjusted something. You probably threw them off by asking about the TBS, and the...

I have these on my '05... AS TURN SIGNALS!!!! Dude, habits form in 21 days. If you consciously focus on reminding yourself, 3 weeks later you'll never forget.

Drew, I've been to Keith Code 4 times. It's awesome, he and his coaches are excellent. It sounds like you got a bum coach. I can tell you for a fact that every coach I've had gave me sufficient time and attention and did not 'script' anything. I suggest you go to Keith's website and contact...

Timbo, I did the same thing this weekend. It's a 'Made in China' battery, but is has a 2 year guarantee and was in stock. $86 with tax. I'll see how it runs.

I went out to go for my Sunday ride this morning AND: Bad News: The bike would not turn over as the battery was dead. Good news: 15 minutes after I gave up trying to start it, the sky opened up with a killer thunderstorm. BUT More Good news: I noticed that the battery wasn't taking a full...

Clearly the '05 is the fastest...

Looks to me like you bottomed the suspension really hard and cracked the line. Are your front suspension settings soft? You can replace this easily if you are mechanically inclined. Use the ABS brake line install threads/info as a guide.

Bring an extra pair of shorts. On my pickup day, I did an unintentional power wheelie in second gear!

Also, I believe that there is much more 'foreign matter' on the first drive fluid change. The good news is that it is some kind of assembly lube that is used, which gets removed in the first fluid change. Oh, and by the way, I'm one of those anal retentive bastards who has recently replaced...
