    How to reset the PGM-FI / MIL light from a safety fault?

    Alright so apparently I did a dumb thing and let the rear wheel spin while on the centerstand and now the PGM-FI / MIL light is on and won’t go off. Because it thinks the front tire ABS fell off or something. I was cleaning the chain and rims man! :) Apparently this is a hard fault that doesn’t...

    I locked my key in the frunk, OR how to defeat the frunk lock!

    So after 2 years and 13,000 miles, I managed to lock my key in the frunk. I don't know how it happened, wasn't paying attention. Had the key in my hand with all my other frunk junk and was sorting things and the wind blew it closed. 300 miles away from home and no cell signal. Only a few tools...

    Change oil now or in the spring?

    Winter is coming. :( So is my 8,000 mile service. (7,700 miles on the clock since mid May.) Should I change out the oil now or let it sit in the garage (heated) with the current oil until spring? I last changed it at the 600 mile service.

    Motorcycling is Expensive

    Getting into riding for the first time or after a long hiatus can be expensive. Just thought I'd share my motorcycle expense ledger from the last year or so. Most of these things were purchases spread out over two years, used, on sale, etc... I bought a lot of the riding gear before I...

    Givi Trekker 1111KIT / 1111FZ - 2016

    What Tank Bag for the 2016?

    I did a search and found some threads and I believe the general consensus is that tank bags are either 1) not needed (frunk!) or 2) don't fit well (impede frunk opening / need metal tank.) I got several camping trips and rallies planned for late summer (anyone going to Central ADV Rally?) and I...
