    Just saw my first K1600 this morning at a local eatery when I did a breakfast stop. It looks good upon inspection. I talked to the rider a few minutes. he likes it alot. Says its a comfortable bike to ride and no problems so far. I didn't ask how many miles he had on it. The rider was a size x-large guy. no passenger. But its not a small bike. Not as big as a 2nd Gen Venture though

    I wanted to get an ST1100 once upon a time. Nicely engineered bikes.

    Fuel cap breather could be clogged too. If it happens again open the gas cap and reclose and see if the problem goes temporarily away. If its the fuelpump, you should be under warranty. You've gotten some good miles on that '08

    My local tire shop charges $20 to change a tire if I bring in the wheel. $40 on the bike plus $10 if they have to remove a muffler (which I do when changing my tire). http://www.europeanmotorsportsinc.com/pages/tire-shop-service-center.php

    Was looking at this flasher wo/key-on thread. Has someone gotten this to work OK? If so, is there an updated schematic? tia

    The RSTD I bought was the first motorcycle I had in 40 years of riding that had floorboards. After a month or so to get used to it, I've decided it is more comfortable than foot pegs. I still have 2 bikes with foot pegs, but the RSTD and 2nd Gen Venture are more comfortable for all day riding. Its not really a full forward like some custom bikes. Sit on one before making this a decision point.

    no. Thats what they always have been from the factory.

    walks with my dog and gardening. I also have an elliptical trainer which is an easy way to stay in shape at the house. Do a little easy downhill skiing in the winter. Maintaining a good posture when riding will add a little muscle tone. Likewise riding my 200cc trail bike in the Nat'l forest helps with muscle tone. I've tried to eat healthier. At which I'm only partially successful. Smaller portions is about all I've accomplished. My metabolism has noticeably slowed down. Doctor had me on 2 meds, a statin for high cholersterol and acid blocker. After taking them for several years have now come to find that both those meds have bad side effects so I've cut the dosage in half on both and am also taking an adult multivitamin every day.

    That looks really good.

    Tricia PM'd me that Tom is going to get the trailer himself.

    Good luck with the doctor. Hopefully its something simple that will heal.

    Thanks. I think a lot of us have been praying for this kind of news.

    a utility patent is more vulnerable to inadvertent expiration when an inventor fails to pay the required maintenance fees at the 3.5, 7.5 and 11.5-year intervals after the patent is granted. Any one familiar with patent databases that could find if the patent has been renewed? I found the Google Patent database search, but wasn't able to find the instrument pod. http://www.google.com/patents

    Rick, glad you're mostly Ok. The bike can be fixed up.

    If I could pull it to the Florida line is there someone else who could store it or take on down to Tom? It doesn't make any sense for me to bring it back to north Georgia.
  21. RandyR
    glad you made it home ok. it was good to see you two.

    both my RSTD and RSV get around 42mpg when ridden under 70mph. regular gas.
  23. RandyR
    The brakes pads will sometimes pick up a piece of grit.
  24. RandyR
    Does someone sell self cancelling chokes for the RSV ? Thats new to me. I don't want one, but just curious.
  25. RandyR
    It does take a moment to warm up. The carbs out of sync could make it worse. A low mileage 6 year old bike may need a good dose of seafoam and some hard running to clean the carbs out. Not sure what to say about the chrome choke knob not staying out. I have the factory knob and it stays outuntil I push it back in. Maybe someone else has seen this before? Good catch on the low mileage 06.
