    Honda Tall Screen

    I just got the Honda touring screen and tried it out yesterday. Seems the turbulence created starts an annoying helmet vibration. Would it help if I moved it to the higher setting? Went back to the stock screen for my daily ride.

    Best Earplugs?

    I have bought the No-Noise ear plugs and it is worth it. Compared to the Hearos I used these allow me to hear what is going on around me but it still blocks the wind noise. So now I can even have a conversation without lip reading with the ear plugs in :p NoNoise Motorsport Hearing Protectors

    Overfilled Oil... HELP?!

    My non-scientific findings :p : 1. Checked the oil when I got home (post ride). Let the bike cool down for 30 minutes and it showed over full. 2. Checked the oil first thing this morning (cold engine) and it looked fine. 3. Warmed up the engine (as per manual), shut it down and let it stand for...

    Overfilled Oil... HELP?!

    As I check it in the mornings I used the manual (page 71) as a guide: "If the engine is cold, idle the engine for 3 to 5 minutes" Was I wrong? I will check the oil tonight 30 minutes post getting home. Try and get some baseline going.

    I don't like the stock tires

    Thanks, based on the above I won't lower the pressure then. Condition of roads in SA are not great and now in winter the sun comes up later and sets earlier making visibility less ideal. Also get some mist in the mornings. Must admit I had Michelin Power Pures on the previous bike and they...

    I don't like the stock tires

    I myself got into a bit of a slippery situation this morning. Rear tire slipped and slide from side to side. I was accelerating from away from a Stop sign onto an uphill. Sliding happened as soon as I geared up :confused: It is colder now in the mornings and I would like to know what impact...

    Just because you're paranoid...

    I'm form South Africa (Johannesburg to be exact).... Road rage is at the order of the day. Lawlessness on the roads are the norm (cagers and bikers). Also seems now that pedestrian incidents are on the increase (we call them "froggers") Just another day in good old SA:D
