  1. Clock and Trip Meters resetting on start up 8 Oct 2012 16:54 I'm seeing the reset problem occasionally, too. I notice it more often when a) the weather's hot and b) the engine is hot. Cold mornings or cold starts don't seem to trigger it. And I think my battery is just a year…
  2. Before I drop ~$800 on side bags.... 12 May 2012 02:48 [image: View Post]Jovinski, on 11 May 2012 - 08:19 PM, said: I paid $585 shipped to Jacksonville, Florida. Holy cow! What a great deal!!
  3. Front tire on backward oh no 5 May 2012 05:07 All's well today, friends, and thank you for your input. My "guy" came over to work this morning, picked up my bike, took it to his shop, flipped the tire around and balanced the assembly, and brought it back. The only…
  4. Front tire on backward oh no 30 Apr 2012 16:46 If I'm interpreting your question correctly, wera, they're opposite. The "arrow" formed by the tread design goes opposite the arrow molded on the sidewall. I'm not with the bike right now (and the silly dog won't answer…
  5. Front tire on backward oh no 30 Apr 2012 12:03 Thanks for the heads-up on those reverse lights... I'll call the dog and have her check those while I'm at work today. :tongue: The tires are Pilot Road 2; the bike is an '07, non-ABS. I snapped a quick pic on the way…
  6. Front tire on backward oh no 30 Apr 2012 01:53 Good evening, all. As usual, I've got a question. Of course, there's a buildup to the question: A couple of weeks ago, I got new tires. I wasn't quite bold enough to swap them myself, so I took them to a small shop for…
  7. So what's your MPG??? 23 Apr 2012 17:00 My 2007 and I get around 38-40mpg, most all the time. My riding is mostly commuting, half of it in town. Doesn't seem to matter, though... a ride over the mountain (twisties and windies) or a trip to the parents' house…

  15. 2007 air filter 1 Apr 2010 01:55 I swapped my original filter for a K&N... the original one just has 2K miles on (clean!) and needs a home other than the top of my file cabinet. Anyone want it?
  16. Rear Passenger Footpeg Brackets 29 Mar 2010 00:56 Wow. I'm thinking now I'd like to have a spare set so I can make that mod! They're roughly $86 each on BikeBandit, FWIW.

  18. What's This? 28 Nov 2009 14:31 You're the man, Dutchy! Thank you for fishing out the part number. Now if I can find what it connects to, and how to install it, I'm set. :)

  20. What's This? 27 Nov 2009 15:16 I figured they'd be relatively "6th Gen generic," but I do worry that I might take the time to open things up and then find nothing there to connect to. What a bummer that would be!

  25. What's This? 13 Nov 2009 00:43 Wow, Monk, I was wondering the same thing. I'm glad you were able to take a better picture of it that I was! (And that you went ahead and asked.) Now, fellas, how 'bout those part numbers? :biggrin:

  27. '07 At Fast Idle? 21 Oct 2009 09:19 Makes sense. I'll find out in about 45 minutes whether that pattern holds... She's garage-kept, and it's still warm in there, but outside I'm showing 37�.
  28. '07 At Fast Idle? 21 Oct 2009 02:39 I've gotten to ride two days so far this week, following a no-ride week last week. Yesterday afternoon and this morning, upon startup the idle speed was roughly 2000 RPM. Seems (and sounds) faster than usual. Does it…
  29. Whats Under The Black Cap On The Base Of The Handle Bars? 20 Sep 2009 14:45 a) It's the blowhole. b) itwrx said: It keeps the magic dust in your bike. Dang. My '07 didn't even have that cap when I got it. No magic dust for me! :dry: c) muffer said: Whatever you do,,,, DON"T PUT YOUR FINGER IN…
  30. Very Very Slow Speed Drop Today 17 Sep 2009 00:44 I'm an idiot. Or a procrastinator. Or both. Radar's sliders are sitting here on my desk, waiting for me to go get that 18" drill bit and to bum a piece of drill rod from work. And what happened Monday morning? My new…

  37. Gloves Or Grips: Something's Gotta Give. 16 Aug 2009 20:13 You guys are a wealth of knowledge. I'll keep trying things (the things you guys have suggested) and keep you posted. I didn't think I was leaning on my hands much... maybe I was doing it more so than I realized.

  40. Gloves Or Grips: Something's Gotta Give. 16 Aug 2009 05:26 Good morning, all. Today's n00b question involves gloves and grips. I took out my shiny new '07 this morning for a 20mile-ish ride. My hands were more tired after that ride than they are after a ride on my 599. In fact,…
