    Mixing Michelin Road 6 GT and 4 GT?

    Don't mind these a-holes. Mixing tires is a norm. Go for it!

    Headlight fuse

    Have you looked in your owner's manual? If you don't have one a pdf can be downloaded for free from here -> https://library.ymcapps.net/library/om/app/index.html?baseCode=6150&langId=02

    Coolant Temp sensor wire interfering with air box?

    That's exactly how my '07 has been since 2007.

    Tire sealant? Roadside flat fix

    Have you considered an air compressor? I knew a guy once who could slow down a leak but not completely stop it. He ran out of cartridges before he could get back to civilization. Slowing-but-not-stopping a leak happened to me once too but luckily I was properly prepared. I use AMA towing...

    FJR Aux Lights

    Have you found that the mirrors vibrate out of place? IIRC there's a 3-ball and detent setup there that you've defeated by inserting the aluminium plate. I use bb's in place of the balls when they fell out yrs ago upon disassembly. Or did you defeat the mirror swivel feature altogether by...

    Valve check/Valve adjustment in Dallas-Ft. Worth

    You'll need the equipment and app for OBDII connecting. A quick search of "OBD" yields numerous results.

    Going to See the Eclipse?

    Cheapo-o replacement welding helmet lens shade 8-10 works wonderfully. Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.

    Anyone use tank bags?

    Nope, hate them! To me they always seem to be in the way. But note, I am definitely in the minority. Since I ride 100% solo I use a Corbin Smuggler to replace the rear seat.

    Purchasing new '23 questions

    When getting what you believe to be a good deal certainly don't walk away. I don't think anyone is suggesting you do that. But me, I also wouldn't walk away from what I'm paying for regardless of what the dealer says. If the bags and 3rd lock are supposed to be included (as they always have...

    Tennessee Owners

    Newer folks often fall into this trap- wanting & waiting for someone to meetup and ride with. If you're waiting on someone else you're wasting your time. Plan your rides, post them up to invite everyone and get out there even if it's by yourself. Some will come, some can't this time but will...
