    Mine was tight like that too, but it broke loose with impacting the ratchet handle a few times. Sure thought I was going to strip it out too. Used some penatrating oil on it and let it soak an hour or so as well...

    OK I'm thinking 1 of 2 things. The software did a no-no and screqed up the OS. Yes, you wil need a recovery disc which nowdays you have to purchase separately from the manufactrurer. It used to be you got a copy free with the computer as well as a copy of the OS but those days are long gone. The second possibility, I hate to say, is that your hard drive took a dump. Had that happen a couple of years ago on a computer that was less than 3 years old...

    OK I'm a 1st Gen'er but I'll take the first stab. Rejetting. May or may not help, but I'm thinking with a free flowing exhaust as well as a less restrictive air cleaner, you may indeed need to richen up the mix a tad. Unfortunately the real answer is to try it out and see for yourself if it makes a difference in response with the engine breathing better. Spark plugs. The Iridium may not make a noticible performance difference, but you will gain some longevity with those plugs. It is up to you to decide whether the extra money is worth the extra longevity. They better last 4 times as long to justify the cost... Gas. You will have to try two or three tankfuls of each and monitor your gas mileage for each tankful and grade. If you run OK on 87 then by al means go for it. I have an Intrepid R/T that gets an extra MPG or 2 with mid premium, but the cost per mile is higher so it does not make sound financial sense to use the 89 when it seems to run fine on 87. I'm sure you wil get other opinions soon...

    We are heading for Toronto tomorrow afternoon but it will be in the cage. Meeting up with Mother and Ohhhh Sherry Sunday. I am planning a fall color ride for next weekend if you are interested, we are about 1 hr from the Peace Bridge. More info to follow in "Meets and Eats" section soon...

    My week was less than stellar as well, but we made it! Gotta work tomorrow AM but at noon we are leaving for Toronto for the weekend, unfortunately in the cage as the inspection on the bvike expired at the end of September. We are celebrating our 19th Anniversary that happened Tuesday. We will be meeting up with VR members Sunday...

    I have a set of passenger pegs off my scoot ...aomewhere... as well as dfriver pegs in pretty good shape. Don't have time to look for them this weekend but can look next week. Now, all I needs to figure out is who wants what and what your address is...

    I usually use the Chevron Delo but there is a gallon jug of Shell Rotella setting out in the garage right now waiting to be put in...

    You probably won't need the one on the triple tree as the calipers are downstream...

    Just got back from an afternoon ride with Big Tom and SpankyM and had a great time. Nice sunny day but only about 60 degrees and much colder in the shade. Believe it or not we stopped for ice cream regardless! Put around a hundred miles, give or take. Sure is nice to have a group of friends to ride with!! Not too many weekends left this year around here. Leaves are just starting to be colorful.

    Now THAT's a great use for junk mail!!!

    OK, is one of the presets set for 89.7?? If so, the switch is most likely starting to short out. As far as the preset overshooting, perhaps it's program got goofed up. Try resetting it back to the right frequency (tune in, press memo, then the preset you want) and see if that fixes that problem...
