Maybe I am the only one who missed this boat - Have you checked out tire inflators lately? Not the clunky 12V ones with battery clamps and a mess of wire that only fits the case once. Instead, check out the post COVID crop of rechargeable battery powered handhelds. I have used this product, and...

Anyone with a rashed up bag laying around willing to part with the silver on black Yamaha logo? It fits in a cutout molded into the chrome rubstrip, at least Gen II and up. I lost one somewhere between Florida and home last yr. Unless someone knows better, my dealer says it can only be bought...

2016AE with about 50k miles- Not long after the brake switch and transmission recall was completed, I noticed the Cruise Control would turn on, but not set. First theories were bad switch, crushed wire, or something else to do with the transmission work. The bike passed all the diagnostics. Many...

I am shopping for waterproof gloves. My Alpinestars Valparaiso’s are wearing out. I never liked the way the liner became sticky if your skin was the least bit wet. Has anyone purchased A/stars Range or Range 2? Or any other waterproof glove with “Gore-Grip” (bonded membrane) and/or a removable...

Fit2Go Review (sorry for the long story, but I thought full disclosure was entertaining, if nothing else) When Doran removed themselves from the motorcycle TPMS market, I started looking for an alternative. I wasnt interested in anything that used a smartphone. I wanted something that would...

On the last day of a 9000km trip I found myself without headlights. The eyebrow lamps still worked, but no head or cornering lamps. The dealer had the bike for sometime and finally discovered a loose pin in a connector in the "headlight sub-wire harness". I am told that all the...
