    There are excellent write ups on this forum. One is complete with step by step pictures. Also, speaking of pictures, I always take pictures of something I'm about to take apart and at any stage where I think I may not remember how something goes back together. I'll try to find the post and edit this if/when I do. Here it is: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=515

    I have heated grips on one bike and also heated gloves that I can use on all the bikes. Heated grips are nice but for really cold riding the heated gloves work better.

    Her husband (editor in chief) was killed July 2005 riding a side car rig (Ural). He pulled onto the highway from a ramp in front of a truck. No one knows exactly what/why it happened. They sponsor a Christian Neuhauser memorial rider each year in his honor. His wife Christa has taken over as publisher. She is a renowned rider in her own right.

    I believe this is the kit he used. I carry three types of tire repair kits. I have had several flats on the road but never been left stranded (all my bikes have tubless tires). I carry the Stop & Go Tire Plugger, Slime kit w/compressor, String Tire Plug kit (works the best in most situations) And for good measure I carry a high end bicycle hand pump that takes both CO2 and manual hand pumping. In my experience the CO2 cartridges are a waste. You need 6-8 of them to inflate a tire, most go empty by the time you either insert or screw them into the "handle". Best is the 12VDC mini-compressor that comes with the Slime kit. Just saying...

    I own four riding jackets. When I go on an extended trips this is the only jacket I wear. The best jacket I've owned. It is a 3 season jacket, waterproof, zipout quilted liner. Three Quarter Length The Tourmaster Epic. http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk100/aharbi/Montana%203%202009/100_0946.jpg

    Me too. RoadRunner & Motorcycle Consumer News. Ride Texas is getting too expensive and too "harley heavy", I dropped them.

    I use a 10" netbook. got it last year at black friday sale for less than $200. with a seven hour battery it lasts a day or two till next charge. And at $200 I won't have heart failure if dropped/stolen like a $500+ ipad or notebook. I have all my mapping/GPS, picture/video, topo, email, browser software. I only use it for the bike. Does everything I need it too, also mp3 music files.

    Never saw that before. Didn't know they had them. So, to steer them do you have to counter-steer? I would assume the laws of physics would remain the same regardless of size.

    +1 Time to contact the district YAMAHA manager. They will make it right. Get it out of the dealer's hands and to another dealer as per the district manager. Time to get another set of hands to work on it. Sounds like they are guessing at the problem and not (or can't) diagnose the problem. Not right that you lose money on a new bike with a 5 year warranty.

    I'd like one as well. I don't do paypal. PM me your address to send check to. Thanks

    As good but much less expensive than OEM http://www.sierra-mc.com/default.asp

    Actually the opposite is true, most synthetics say they go for between 8,000 - 10,000 miles. However, I run synthetic and still change between 4,000 - 5,000.

    Here's a picture of my backside with some of the above mentioned parts all put together. (it also helps that the bike is white) http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk100/aharbi/Motorcycle/IMG_0999a.jpg

    you so bad. Royal Enfield basic design is 1930's, redone in the 50's when moved from England to India. Just got disk brakes and FI (on certain models) a few years ago. Good news is anyone can fix them with duct tape and bailing wire.

    I have no idea how fast it will go. Don't know if I even want to try. I did have it to 85mph once with a pick up truck up my $ss getting around a row of 18 wheelers and I still had some throttle left.

    I used it for awhile as part of a SW package. Everytime I found what looked like something there was an additional charge, or upgrade or something they wanted more money for. I gave it up.

    Just plain gross...

    +1 I use the same. I buy it from the Honda CAR dealer. $10 for a 3oz cardboard tube. H/C 2963866 Never could find anything (good or bad) on Wal Mart Super Tech products. Have no idea who makes them, who the Wal Mart supplier is, so I don't use them.
