Personally the lack of tone is the only thing I've been on the fence with. It's a motorcycle and it should sound like one, not a singer sewing machine....I'm sure the neighbors like the quieter sound.

I didn't have to take off the airbox. I just removed the two bolts in the front that hold it and the battery box down and the two bolts that hold the battery box in (note- they are different sizes so keep them separate) and eased the air box back still attached to everything to provide enough...

Point well taken about the blowouts guys and I can certainly agree that having one come undone in front of you at highway speed would rain on your parade. So much for speaking without completely thinking it through. I'll have to give some thought to the options. Locally I deal primarily with...

I started with dual sports at 14yo. First bike was a 2cycle Yamaha 125. Excellent starter bike for a kid cause it was light enough to pick back up and had a top speed of 55mph (before you fouled a plug). Next bike at 15 was a 2cycle Yamaha 400. Better speed, response and power....Now that I'm...

I think rather than "wave them around"- I would catch a clean strip, drop into the passing lane, apply the brakes and let them slip by on the right then fall in behind them.Kind of a reverse pass but I want the danger IN FRONT of me rather than behind. I've got better throttle/stability/control...

If it's clean and hasn't been dropped I would say that's a reasonable price and mileage isn't out of the question. I have put 1K on mine in a month easy and it's not a daily driver. Asking price is right at the bank loan value (at least my bank) for the bike (4800). If it looks good and it's...

Apologies to the OP....Didn't realize the poll was only for spills this year. Growing up on dual sports, I crashed virtually everytime I went out in one form or fashion as there is always a hill too steep or a jump too close to the fence. Always walked/bled away from those with nothing more that...

I say give him a similar punishment/treatment to the one he gave out (with a twist)...24 years, each spent in a different cell with a specially selected different "bubba".....That will give him a taste of what being held captive and repeatedly raped was like for his daughter... Oh yea, if he's...

I guess I fall into the southern hospitality thingy here as well. I would say the numbers are in the 90-95% "return" wave category here. Don't see it much in town as we're all focusing on the road but when you hit the highway (divided or not) you just about always get the two fingered down low...

Greetings guys, Just getting back in the game after two bad road rashes and associated broken bones after 28 years. Grew up on what are now "dual sport" bikes although we called them "Enduro" back then.....Man have bikes,handling and safety equipment advanced since those days. Heck if the...
