    USB + iPhone 5 + 10 minute = discharged battery?

    I bought a new battery the other week off of newegg, $45 and free shipping. Came charged at about 12.8v, I stuck it on the battery tender overnight anyway and it started the bike right up for the first time in 4 months. :D So nice to hear that sound. Newegg.com - TMS Ct12b-4 Gt12b-4 Yt12b-4...

    When you sell a bike, do you allow test rides?

    Cash is king. When I bought my FZ6 I didn't have have the cash as I was waiting for my other bike to sell, so I let the PO ride it up and down the street. When I came back a few days later with cash in hand and ready to buy, then I took it for a spin. Even with cash, I would decide based on...

    Loud Buzzing at 7000rpm and up (video)

    Awesome, thanks for the input. I will definitely look into some grips and lubing everything up. After some long rides this coming week I'll see about levers and TB sync, too.
