    Engine trouble warning light

    2016 ES, 3,000 miles, less than a year old.This morning, she didn`t start on the first kick. Tried again and started right up. The pesky CIL came on and after a 30 mile ride, still on. Seems to run normally. Any suggestions? My dealer is 50 miles away. I`m trying not to make that trip.

    I'm bringing in my new ES for another oil change. She has 2000 miles on her after a 1700 mile road trip. Should I have the shaft serviced and greased?

    Touring tank bag 1MC-F41E0-V0-00

    I am thinking about buying the Yamaha OEM touring tank bag. The ones I have seen are listed for a 2009-2016. Mine is a 2006. I thought all the Gen IIs were the same. Any reason it will not fit? Does anyone have one and comment about it?

    Slow cranking

    When I start the bike, it cranks slowly at first, then it speeds up then starts. Can anyone suggest how I diagnose this problem? I replaced the battery last year when it first happened.

    Spline

    Hi guys, I am bringing her in for new tires soon. I remember reading something about greasing the spline on the shaft drive due to a lack of lube that causes rusting. Is this something I need to have done? I have 15,000 miles on her. Thanks

    PC 5

    Hi all, I just installed a PC 5 and wanted to post my experience. I ordered it from Fuelmoto and it came mapped for slip ons that my bike has. The install was straight foward. I started it up and it still had the annoying off idle hesitation. I called Fuelmoto and they immediately emailed me a...
