51,600mi. Count me in!

Do you have a Power Commander installed on it? Mine would die when I pulled the clutch in shifting from 2nd to 1st. When I got into the mountains of Colorado it would die anytime I was down shifting. I unplugged the PC on the side of the road and the problem went away. Just a thought.

I don't think you could ruin it like that really. I would just see how it feels in the next few days and look for oil leakage. All you do when you adjust it is make the spring stiffer or looser. To damage the internals I would think you would have to slam into a pothole to really distress...

I like using paper maps myself. The one thing I really like the GPS for is navigation through a city. Makes life a whole lot simpler and you don't have to be frustrated and can pay more attention to what is going on around you instead of always trying to look for your next turn.

I had a similar problem last summer. My front would shimmy and when I hit the brakes they wouldn't work until I pumped them a little. Turned out to be a wheel bearing that went bad. I would check it out before it gets worse. Could be the same problem. Other things: Bent rim. Warped or...

I just stick with OEM. I'm not worried about a pound or two. Plus the OEM chain is a continuous chain and doesn't have a master link. You have to pull the swingarm bolt and tilt the swingarm out of the way to install it. I figure this is a good time to clean and lube the swingarm bolt at the...

Update: 50,500 miles.

Looked like a lot of them were in a hurry and just made some bad mistakes. Looks like most of those could have been avoided. I love how they try and drag knee on some.

I was in NorCal down to San Francisco in June and they do try to make room for you. It would have taken a long time to get out of San Fran had I not been able to lane split. I wish they would pass it here in Texas.

A lot of accidents happen on smaller roads and at intersections. True that.....the highway is safer.

There's gratification in doing your own work like that. Makes you feel like you accomplished something.

That's some damn fine work for the repair and the paint. Nice to know that you can pull the frame like that if you have to. Very good job sir!

Welcome. Looks like a good bike at a good deal as long as it's mechanically sound. It does look like he took care of it.

Ha ha. Vrooom vroooom!!!!! Why hello Clarise.

Well that will definitely keep the bugs out of your teeth. I wonder when we will start seeing these on the street. Not a bad idea for face protection either if you fall.

Just as long as you're checked out by your doctor and no pre exsisting conditions are present I would say go for it. I do JKD and do a lot of sparring and after a couple of rounds you start to get tired fast. I'm learning it solely for self defence. If I were to actually box I would need a...

You're right. They are shims. Sorry for the poor choice of words. I go to a small ATV shop and buy shims individually instead of a whole kit. I wouldn't trust myself with sanding them down.

Good to know Russia isn't that bad. Sounds like that system with the radars works. I guess they had to do something.

Some of those were just brutal. You could definitely tell people died in a few of them. It definitely makes me want to be safer and more aware on the road. That FZ6N rider is a casualty waiting to happen. I can't believe how crazy Russia is. My son and I are going there possibly in june...
