I have bikemasters on my NC, and Oxfords on my Guzzi. I find the bikemasters barely adequate, and would never consider throttling them. The oxfords on the other hand often require that I turn them off.
3 times broken wrist, 3 wrist surgeries. I find the most neutral position is a "buckhorn" bar. With the grips 30 degrees out from vertical. Not a sexy adv bike option, but who cares what people think, if you cant ride in comfort otherwise.
The no start issue has returned (twice actually). Left alone, it solves itself. I replaced all the small relays stuck in the fuse box. I'm wondering again if its the side stand switch or maybe the big relay next to the battery. No one has ever had this issue?
what does inseam have to do with how high your body is above the seat? Nothing. I have short legs and a tall torso. A windshield designed for me based on inseam would be too low.
given that 16 (yes sixteen) supertankers (or maybe container ships, I forget) produce more pollution than ALL the cars on the planet, I don't think your cat removal is that bad...
This winter I plan to remove my adjustable lowering links. I'll make some measurement and comparisons then and report. I do remember I lowered it as far as it would go before the tire hit the inner fender. The reason I want to pull them is, they are cheap chinese, and after 2 salty winters, I...
copper and aluminum both behave the same and the opposite to ferrous (iron) alloys. With iron, you heat and let cool slowly to soften. With Cu and Al, you heat and quench (dip in water) to soften.
Pulled a bunch of body work, side stand switch is good. Went back to the book, and took another look at the small start relay (in the fuse box). I pulled it and it checked out before, but this time I swapped it with the fan relay (small odds of fan coming on with winter coming). Bike started...
I like to coast to a stop most times. I put the side stand down with my foot while still rolling. Just a habit I developed over the years. With the ROX risers, its too much of a reach to get to the key, and using the kill switch has its own issues (like forgetting to turn it back on).
I guess I wasn't clear. I use the side stand to kill the motor most of the time I stop. I never use the kill switch and rarely use the ignition switch.
It is the starter button that feels wonky.
Bike would not start the other day, thinking the battery was flat, I put the charger on it. Later it started, so I said, ok, I just left the key on (I do use the side stand as a kill switch often). Yesterday, it wouldn't start again, and the battery was at 12.5 volts. Out comes the manual and...
