Remove trunk if I was picky. But for a sticker, it speaks well for the majority of this community (sport/touring).

Welcome. I have the 08 as well.

Bill, I think you're good with what you have. You know it's your choice and your money but I think it's good like it is. Most have just the sliders and save that $300 for the touch up paint or a new mirror. Go out and ride brother! (and just don't drop the bike!!!)

Ok, just talking (typing?) out loud here... so help me dispell this one... Is it possible, after some recent maintenance, the gas over fill/pressure drain (proper name?) got hung up to somewhere near the air filter box? Something like that would account for the gas smell getting past a gas...

Hey Bill. Not much mystery with sliders mounted to the engine points except the differing variables. Like; some sliders stick out more and keep more bike away from the ground when things sucome to gravity; expect a mirror to hit (and maybe fold at the hinge getting no more than a scratch); side...

Aaawwwww, GMAK, we're just having some fun. Where are you? Mrs. GMAK, can GMAK come out to play? Seriously, this has been an interesting thread. Any thoughts on these comments GMAK? Come on, we can take it (deserve it ). (Disclaimer: written with light-hearted intent)

Thanks Geezer. More differences between the Gens than I realized.

Geezer...right side? One too many long necks tonight?

Seems like you're trying to fill an already full system. What's low is the reservoir. Fill that to the full line with your skinny funnel and seat the cap properly. (Said trusting all this is on a cool engine.)

Gary, you knew the bike would make it, but now you have excellant creds to your own endurance and personal limit. 'Way' to push it!

Because I know things like this exist, I can't settle for things like NASCAR. This is real racing on a superior level by multiple factors. The vids were well made too, illustrating the divide of this and most mainstream racing of any kind.

Yeah, slow day for me too.

I'm puzzled too, but maybe a toggle switch spiced into that particlar headlight and placed at a location that suits you. A flip will restore juice when you want it without problem.

So...you had your bike on the center stand to drain and fill oil...then you went and rode for a few thousand kilos...then you park your bike on the side stand and check the oil sight gage and...shazam! EXPANDED OIL! Damn, I got the same phenomenum. What brand oil are you using?

Maybe. If the clip at the end of the wire is solidly connected to the wire and the clip "snaps" firmly around the spark plug tip then all is good. Of course the rubber boot slips over the plug to protect and isolate it too. If the bare wire has separated from what I'm calling the "clip"...

I know what you mean...but there is no way I'll ever get snipped! Maybe you can sue that doctor for his failed procedure. But then again you are "glad" about it. Congratulations on your new family member. Nice ride report and pics. Just joking about that "impotant" thing. Rock on ya'll. (past...

Yes, that was the comment I was responding to, hence the included quote. Yes, what you say about the handling of bikes with the extended swingarms is true too but to assume they can only go straight and therefore operate on straight roads only is an overstatement. I am sure they can turn...

There it is, Powerman. Thanks...I think I knew that but fell into a misinformation stream of posts. Didn't absorb it as it was mentioned in this thread too.

I have one of the earlier 08s. Had, and still have to a minor degree, the same issue. I'm convinced my 08 has some left-over 07 parts. I changed to the G2 and synced the TBs with some "I-can-deal-with-it" improvements. 1. Short turn to full throttle? I want to assume you've checked on this but...

That's a good laugh right there! Funny!
