    Again with the frunk

    I had to use my secret emergency release a couple weeks ago. Lock cylinder had become gunked up. Got it open with ‘cable‘ I added, removed lock and cleaned it. All good again. If you haven’t done this yet I highly recommend !!!

I was keeping this wheel for my dirt tire and other wheel for street tires, makes swapping out easy. No longer doing dirt. Scratched but works fine, no...

    Atlas Throttle Lock, happy, not, what?

    I’ve probably spent the same amount on all the cheaper plastic throttle locks that didn’t work very good as I spent on the Atlas. Atlas is best one I’ve found and once you get the friction pad fine tuned it just works. I have the ‘bottom’ model and the thin design makes it the least intrusive...

    Soft luggage?

    Yes, out of a black cutting board, a couple eyebolts to go into the latches, and I needed to use some wooden spacers underneath to get it to sit in the position I wanted. I’ll try to get more pictures sometime when I pull off my bags.

    Soft luggage?

    I resolved the pillion seat problem by replacing it with a platform with a cutout for the fuel fill. I’m using Mosko Moto but this opens the door to more options.

    This is killing me

    As I see it, engine wear is a direct correlation to the performance of the oil and the comments are relative. I’ve had other Blackstone reports where comments discussed oil shear which is indicated by the viscosity part of the report. And ya, they have to go by your reported miles and can’t...

    This is killing me

    My last report suggested going to 9500 miles for next oil change. I might take it to 10,000, easier to remember. I had about 82,000 miles on engine when tested.

    2023: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

    It does have some glare. The case only attaches to the back so it’s the tablet screen that’s exposed. I might try a non-glare screen saver at some point. The DMD2 app is fully configurable and has a road book mode for rally’s and OBD2 integration with Bluetooth obdii reader, although I don’t...

    2015 DCT - Is this 'Buzzing' normal?

    More progress today. Dug out the connector for the linear solenoids. Connector is buried under the frunk, not fun. Buzz went away when I disconnected the solenoids. I checked resistance, spec is between 5.0 and 5.6 ohms at 68 degrees. I got 6.1 ohms on each of the solenoids at 86 degrees. I...

    2015 DCT - Is this 'Buzzing' normal?

    Good to know, then maybe not the solenoids. I will start pulling connectors and fuses to locate the source (when it cools off outside!).
