    MotoGP Motegi GP **Spoiler Alert**

    What an exciting race. Sad that Dovi ended his day in the gravel trap. Marquez is just riding at a different level than everyone else. Congrats to #93 on his 7th world title!

    Deer Strike

    On my way to tour the Adirondacks this morning I hit a deer on I-87. I'm okay. The deer was killed. The bike has a lot of broken plastic. The LED turn signal, right side fairing, tail plastic, rear fender, tail light and reflectors are all broken. The saddlebag is gone (ripped off by the deer)...

    Mounting a Sena 20s on a Schuberth C3 Pro

    I'm looking at buying a Schuberth C3 Pro and I'm looking for someone who has mounted a Sena 20s on theirs. I've found a lot of conflicting information on the web and I like to talk with someone who has this set-up. Sena has a video that says you should use a stick-on mount and the Velcro mount...

    Switched Power Source on a 2016ES

    I'm looking for a switched power source for a 12v relay on my ES. Preferably I'd like an unused connector of some sort so I don't have to cut into the wiring harness. Any suggestions?

    Bird Strike

    I ran through a flock of geese today in central New York. Managed to miss most of them but one bird bounced off my front wheel and broke the fender below the mounting bolts. Now I need to find a cheap source of OEM parts. MR Cycle has the fender for $79 + $25 shipping. Any suggestions?

    Coolant Temperature Gauge

    While out riding my '16 ES today I noticed that the coolant temperature display reading was fluctuating from 145 to 180. Every time the display hit the 180s it would drop instantly to between 145 and 150. Then slowly raises again to the 170s and 180s. This cycle takes 20 to 30 seconds and...

    Clutch Engagement Point

    I'm looking to adjust the clutch engagement point on my 2016 ES. Unlike my '06 which begins to engage when the lever is about 1/2" from the grip, the '16 clutch doesn't begin to engage until the lever is almost completely released. What I was thinking was to drill a deeper hole in the brass...

    Pulled the Trigger on a 2016 ES

    I've been lurking around the local Yamaha dealers since April thinking about replacing my 2006 FJR. Well, yesterday I made an offer and the dealer accepted! Picking up the new bike today after work. So my question to the collective is what items should be on my pick up check list besides the...

    Anyone Touring on a Tenere?

    I have an opportunity to get a great deal on a 2013 Tenere. Are there any Tenere owners here who do a significant amount of long distance riding? I'd be interested your thoughts on the bike's capabilities. Thanks.

    Route to Yellowstone

    I'm planning a ride from Albany, NY to Yellowstone in a few weeks and I'd prefer not to take I-90 all the way (3 700+ mile days). I'm not opposed to some interstate riding and I'd like to take no more than 4 or 5 days to get there. Any suggestions for good roads, "must do" roads and other...

    12 year old battery

    The original battery in my 2002 VTX1800 finally died yesterday. I've never had a battery last that long. I guess keeping it on a tender when not in use served me well. My 06 FJR battery is still going strong. I also use a tender on it.

    Anti-Lock Brakes

    I've been riding my '06 FJR almost exclusively for the last 6 years and I've apparently developed a bad habit. When I come into a corner too hot, I tend to use the rear brake to scrub off excess speed. It doesn't make the front end dive and with the ABS you can't lock up the rear wheel. Now...
