The 2014 ES has captured my curiosity. Electronic suspension adjustment. Not sure if its front and rear or just front? Built in throttle and engine mapping computer. My 07 has had throttle issues since day one. Nothing has ever made it perfect. Traction control for those days of riding in the...

Just moved up here from San Diego. My rep down there was getting to iffy so I moved to Roseville. Need a good shop to do a rear shock rebuild, Penske, and a front fork service/possible rebuild. Johnny80 and I did the last service and I think I put a fork seal in dry so its going to be a bitch...

For those that have ridden with me you know I am very hard to miss. I am 6'5 and nearly 300lbs with a bright yellow Olympia jacket. Over the last years since owning the jacket I have been nearly taken out 5 times. Well I have had enough. I am now taking things to the next level. I am going to do...

Angeles Crest

Over the last couple of months my fuel economy has gone seriously down hill. Ive gone from 240 a tank to 150 a tank. I have had the valves checked, all within spec, I have new plugs, less than 1,000 miles on them. I use the same oil/weight and filter. I drive the same roads every day commuting...

Its time once again to put together a ride up to Big Bear. General idea is around the 21st of May. With the weather this year I seriously doubt Angeles Crest will be open. Any other ideas? Redland up the 38 is beautiful but how many times can you do it? What does 39 outside of Azusa do the...

For the last 6 months or so the suspension on my 07A has been rather suspect. Having just turned over 30K on the odometer I figured it was time to do something about it. At first I was just going to do a fork oil change but then decided the rear shock had seen its last mile and decided it was...

After I replaced my oil pan and had everything but the plastic back together I let the bike run until all the oil burned off the exhaust. While it was running I noticed the two middle header pipes were glowing a very faint red but the outside two were not. Is this normal? 2007A PCIII with O2...

Work was getting a bit stressful so I decided to take a quick ride during lunch. A fun little twisty road to get my head together. Near the end of the road I come into a blind left moderately tight sweeper. Something the average guy takes at 40 but I wasnt feeling it so I was going in at 35...

I have had shifting issues since I have owned my 2007A. Always between 1st and 2nd gear. I had read somewhere on here that adjusting the shift lever down helps to correct this issue. So I adjusted the shift lever down. Low and behold I have not missed a shift between 1st and 2nd since. Well I...
