    New Michelin Road 6 GTs

    Just did 450 miles on my new Road 6s. Handling is great, much improved over my very worn out (11,600 miles) Road 4 prior set.

    Both headlights, at the same time?!

    Pretty common for both headlight low beams to go out about the same time. No matter what bulbs I use, seem to need replacing every 2-3 years.

    Broken part confirmation

    Yeah, very common to break the aluminum casting there whenever the bike comes down on the mirrors when dropped. As mentioned above lots of "fixes". If you can TIG weld the aluminum, that is best. Otherwise, JB weld and zip ties works fine.

    Painting the tank trim

    Finally got around to fixing the paint damage to the side bag and fairing. Used Colorrite's paint code 0918. It's a three part paint, with silver base, color top coat and then clear. Required lot's of light coats of color to match factory. Covered the new paint with 3M paint protector after...

    Painting the tank trim

    yeah, results of being rear ended at a stop light, shoved halfway into the intersection and dropped it on right side. No serious injuries, but bike rear frame had to be replaced and put some of insurance money into the crash bars instead of replacing the side hard case.

    No, not riding in the snow, just backed out of garage for garage cleanup.

    Painting the tank trim

    Dupicolor semi-gloss black car trim and bumper paint. Then 3M paint protection film.

    Decided that the silver tank trim needed to be black. Here's the results.

    033 Code - Engine Misfire, Down to 3 cylinders

    Another update: At 94,959 miles, with brand new OEM coils (83,000 miles replaced) I'm once again getting the coil code. I've swapped the supposedly bad coil from cylinder 2 to 3 and runs fine. I'm really stumped on this recurring intermittent coil code (with the coils testing good).

    by the way, I checked the resistance on all four coils (primary and secondary coils), they were all within spec, not sure why the intermittent problems

    K&N Air Filter

    033 Code - Engine Misfire, Down to 3 cylinders

    I ended up replacing all four coils with new OEM parts. Runs flawlessly again.
