I've got their AMP GO2 system. It seems to work okay, but most of the time the audio level isn't loud enough. I"m using mine in a Scorpion EO-AT950 Modular Helmet. Their tech/customer support seems pretty good and willing to help.

Thanks and you're right the shim valve check/adjustments mileage interval are usually pretty long. My '97 Yamaha Seca II has them specified for every 16k miles, which ends up being about every year and half or so, possibly because it's an air-cooled 4 cylinder. Anyhow, some of the valves on my...

There's a first gen 2002 SV650 Naked or Standard version for sale not too far from me. I've not rode one nor even seen one locally. But I was kinda wondering about the gas mileage but also the valve clearance check and what procedure might be. One place I read about it, the guy kinda walked you...

I wish my old bike would get that kinda gas mileage, that's pretty good.

Another ride into work, although today for some reason there was very little traffic, so it was just Me, Myself, and I :) on my bike this morning. It was a nice ride at or around the speed limit through the hilly, curvy, rural roads into Cape Girardeau, MO to the University where I work at. Of...

I watched it here at work, the SEMO University I work for closed for a few hours so everyone could enjoy it. Both campuses had a bunch of people watching, playing music, had some food trucks, games, etc. available too. Probably the most people I've ever seen here.

If you don't mind, could we/I get your opinion of the CB500F? What's different, what you like about it over the NC700, etc.. A couple coworkers have had a CB500X and they seemed to like them well enough (Both were sold and the guys no longer riding unfortunately). A separate topic is fine if...

Wow, your rides sound good! I need to figure out a local ride route I can do for 30-40 miles. We've got quite a few good riding roads around here in SE Missouri, so it wouldn't be too difficult. I just rode into work today, the ride was nice, temps were in the 60s, 30 miles of hilly & curvy...

I did bike maintenance today. New Air Filter, new spark plugs (but not installed yet until I finish the valves). On my valve clearance check two of the intake valve clearances were too tight/small. I was able to adjust one to spec. by installing a smaller shim but the other one already had that...

Unfortunately I didn't get to ride today even though it's beautiful weather. I had to buy a new battery for my '97 Yamaha Seca II. The old one didn't want to turn the engine over very well yesterday evening when I got off work. A quick jumpstart from a coworker and off I went towards home. This...

Yeah, it is. After mounting so many tires over the years, and having to remove and re-install one, I've gotten to the point of putting a piece of duct/masking tape on the brake disk and marking the tire rotation direction .

It’s time for a new front tire, so I got that done this morning. I put 18k miles on that Avon RoadRider front tire, but it was time to replace, probably should have replaced it earlier. My bike has 140,071 miles on it now, so it's doing pretty good.

The clutch cable on my bike broke Friday morning (Sept 15th) coming into work, I had two stoplights to go before the parking lot so that was fun, not... Along with the clutch lever assembly being a little worn also (26 years and a 138K + miles, so while I'm waiting for a new clutch cable, I...

Nice Bike! Would that be Little Creek, VA? Just down the road from Norfolk, VA. The ships I was on, the USS Nassau & USS Saipan, were home-ported at Norfolk many years ago.

I've ridden a few BMWs, no Guzzi's yet. But I keep coming across a Guzzi Breva 750 in a few hundred mile location occasionally, not close enough to go get a demo/test ride though. Also interested in a V7 Stone, but haven't seen any semi-locally. What are your thoughts on those?
