    What now? Cut out while riding

    As soon as it was available. I haven't found anything loose but the problem hasn't happened again, maybe I got the connections back to working. We'll see. Thanks

    What now? Cut out while riding

    Since I recently changed the plugs I'll have to check those. Thanks For the most part everything is stock on my bike. If it didn't come with it then most likely I don't have it. Between the lack of know how and the wife...

    What now? Cut out while riding

    Checked and cleaned battery, looked good. Checked side stand and all connections seem good as well. It is acting as if it is suddenly cutting of the fuel. I haven't been able to find anything about a fuel filter, did I mention limited mech knowledge? Is there one that needs to be changed. I've...

    So when do I run out of fuel on 2013?

    I've had my '07 go as low as 28 and as high as 51. The right hand and the maintenance seems to have the most to do with it. If I don't do my pm's (aka. tune-up and oil change) it gets down to the low end of the range.

    Michelin Pilot Road 3

    It's been awhile since I chimed in on anything... I'm ordering another set of the PR3's. I'm not an aggressive rider and, accept for the poor PR2's that I had installed and broke in on my way to the Total Control classes then ran down to the cords (rear) at 4K after completing the extreme...

    fork rebuild time

    Time to rebuild the forks and want to get the GP suspension kit but I need someone local (Mid- TN) to do the work that can turn it around in a couple days. Any recommendations? I want the work to match the quality of GPS' product.

    Pirelli Angel Mileage

    I just changed to a set of PR3's. Got 11k out of the Angels but I didn't like the feel of them. Scraped a little peg on the way home in the rain last night so I'd say I do like the feel of the PR3's. 40 psi front and back. Had PR2's before the A's and got close to 12k when I was good and 4-5K...

    Test Ride Nightmare!! Could use some advice please...

    If I may... As a rider of an 07 ae, with 28000+ miles in 2 yrs and my first mc by the way, it asks to be said that though the tires may have been cold, there may be something else to be considered as to the cause of the unexpected get off. BTW I'm glad to hear the injuries were worst to the...

    FRJ A OR AE?

    This is all a verry interesting read. I would like to add my comments by first reminding you all that I am, how did he put it? Oh ya, "They are for entry level, old men, who got in over thier (I think he meant "their") heads." This is my first bike and I ride it mainly interstate to work. The...
