  1. Good bet on ground loop http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062214. You can try a ferrite beads on the supply and ground http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3012599 also make sure your spark plugs are resistor plugs.
  2. were building an arc here, river is flooded and rising
  3. Youngest is moving toSan Antonio first week in June. It looks like a quick roadtrip and he wants to trailer his car down.
  4. I suggest to everyone to get some tennis balls, cut them in half and use them as cones. Practice your evasive maneuvers. When I thought emergency vehicle operator driving we always taught that on most occasions you are better to steer around than break and hit the object in your path. Practice threshold braking, if you lock a wheel practice a technique to let off a little pressure without letting off the brake. That means curling your toes on the back of tense your fingers open a bit with your hand. You want the wheels to turn without locking and thats the fastest you will ever stop and will still allow you to maneuver. Overcorrection is a fatal error that causes most fatalities while driving (Car, truck, bike) the ohhhh shi . . . factor causes over correction. Practicing will build muscle memory and will help you in your travels. Good driving techniques, looking left right left again before entering intersections, make eye contact with drivers, watch the front wheels on vehicles you are passing and look for escape routes. If you get cut off look where you want to go and focus on that. The human brain will take your full field of vision away when stressed. I also put HID's and led driving lights on the bike to be seen but someone with their nose in their phone can't see that either. Last of all ride safe after 38 years in public safety I have seen people die from any number of accidents, not all vehicle related. Take your time in life and enjoy and be safe.
  5. rear wheel and a venture like kit, so 4 wheels
  6. I like the blue
  7. check connections for corrosion, noise filter and a cheap fix could try to put a ferrite bead on the power wire and ground wire feeding the audio.
  8. tune your own, go to a gig truck stop and see what they have.
  9. Replace them! 5 years from the manufacture date and pull them off. The tires break down and on the road is not the place to find out. Put som E3 or commanders on her
  10. Joe, have you replaced the stator, battery and regulator at the same time?
  11. see if theirs a dot , like a yellow or white dot by the valve stem. If you have a dot and it's not on it I agree you should have it rotated.

Yamaha shipped it separately to his parts dept. It comes with an yamaha engraved ipod touch , a small box mounted in the left side bag with an ipod cord. Now we ran a cord out and to my back seat passenger and hook my wife's iphone 5 to it and it works awesome. If you leave the ipod on it will kill your battery so remove , turn off or unplug when not in use for several days.
  13. These are sweet to watch, anyone know what color Carl's hair was before he went grey??
  14. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYy
  15. and who thought this would be a great idea said me never
  16. Must b south of the equator with the upside down picture. . .enjoy
  17. Always leery of stopping underpasses, not a safe place in high wind or extreme weather and it seems a spot a lot of folks shoot for and a lot of accidents there in bad weather. If you ride you will ride in the rain. A good suit, foot gaiters and good tires will get you through. Other than that a store or restaurant will hold you over. I would suggest a weather app for your smartphone that will alert you of severe weather based on your location. Still sometimes severe weather like tornado's are unpredictable, we also found out NOAA can't see tornado's in the rain, radar doesn't show them. Pay attention to your surroundings.
  18. Make a Y harness with some bullet connectors and it would be plug n play
  19. I like the HF deal, 4' long is ok for length but I think it's a bit wider than you want ( the HF frame is 29" wide with the wheels sitting outside that) . More concerned with weight. A longer tongue helps and remember not to keep her tail heavy. The hitch is an easy build but easier bought and not too hard on the wallet. You are not too far away if you need anything or want to try to pull one. I think you want to narrow it down, not too hard of a project. Don't want a heavy frame since you aren't pulling that much weight, I am close enough to lend a hand. I might have an old car topper in storage.
  20. Nickels might b an insult to some, complement to others
  21. Have you ridden at night with the led, can you compare it with hid?
  22. Mine has an A followed by 4 numbers
