A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
I have the Givi trekker cases, and my wife cannot get on and off the bike with them on, Luckily, they go on and off easily, and I leave them off unless I am going shopping or am on a multi day trip. On my ST1300, the panniers are just far enough back to allow easy access for the pillion, and...
Welcome to the forum, I think you’ll like the NC. I really like it for errands, short commutes, and general aimless wandering. The gas mileage is outstanding.
At age 66, I’m still keeping my touring bike for longer tours, though! ( ST1300).
I used to live down that way- Picayune, MS.
Ride long...
I got a brakeaway from a member here, who could not use it with his heated grips. Without thinking, I received it, and then recalled that my ( new to me) bike had Honda heated grips. I modified it slightly, and installed it on my other bike, an ST1300.
Yes, it works. The machining and design are...
I am fortunate to have had good tools from an early age ( Mac and Bahco), but to be honest, the ones I have bought from Harbor Freight are pretty hard to beat for the price. I DO like Proto ratchets.
The symptoms you report are pretty much normal. I have seen mine go to the one flashing bar going down my steep driveway, then back up to two bars going up the steep road, and back to one flashing bar going down the hill outside of the subdivision. It seems to swing back and forth , unlike...
First thing I do when I get a new bike- Grip Puppies or the generic equivalent! Isolates vibrations, and makes it much easier for my large hands to control the bike!
Plugfones! I like to listen to music while riding, and went through a LOT of different iterations of earplugs, ANC units, and finally found the perfect ( for me, anyway) solution.
Plugfones ( available on Amazon) not only reduce the ambient noise, but the quality of the sounds of music are...
As @670cc has mentioned, battery issues , poor connections, corroded connections, etc can cause that fault.
Does the bike live outdoors? It is, after all, 11 years old, and might just need some love. A little cleaning , and some dielectric grease might cure it.
I started changing my own tires just because of the fact that my rear tires wear about twice as fast as my front ones. In 45 years on two wheels, I’ve never had any adverse effects, even on sport bikes.
If I did track days I * might* change them in pairs, but I seriously doubt you can feel a...
This reminds me of working on my BMW Airheads, where practically any part that could be confusing to re-assemble was marked with a hand stamped "oben" marking....meaning "top" or "above" in German. I used to think it was a bit over the top, but no longer......
