I have a 12 gauge and a .40 XDM for anybody stupid enough to mess with my baby. At night I keep it in the garage but during the day I just lock the bars and I have one of a xena 120db alarm that goes into the brake disc. Its loud enough to deter anyone from even looking at her wrong.
So on Thursday I changed the oil and lubed the clutch cable and wow the clutch is super easy to pull now! Only problem is idk what happened but now the zone were the clutch engages is like two millimeters and its the very beginning of the lever. If I so much as even touch the clutch with my...
Speaking of lube what weight oil do you warmer weather riders use? Here in AZ its supposed to be in the 80's all weekend and only another month or two before were in the 90's and 100+'s :D I was thinking a 10w-30 tried to do a search for oil threads didnt relly come up with much...
:eek: Was getting on the freeway this morning making a right hand turn onto the on ramp shifted into second gear and hit about 8000 RPM's When all of a sudden this red Durango straight up stood on the brake ON THE FREEWAY ON RAMP!!! I pull in the clutch and hit my brakes and I feel my rear...
So tell me how you wired everything into your headlamp. Also were did you ground out all your accesories? just straight to the battery or to the frame?
thanks that website is awesome. -Matt
No way im going soft ha ha.. I ride my bike every day to work and its about sixty miles round trip all freeway from Mesa to the I-17 and Greenway. But on that freeway at six in the morning its like 34-40 deg F outside. Also we has that big cold front last month when it was like 18-26 deg F out...
So I have been looking at the eastern beaver fuse blocks so I can wire up some heated grips and put on some other stuff that I want. But im totally lost as to were to mount it on the bike. If you have ever looked under the tank there really is not much room for anything...YAMAHA...
Yeah this is sad and im an insurance agent.... But here in America I does not matter the pedestrian always has the right of way even if there walking on the freeway. A car will always win in a collision against a person. My heart goes out to her. -Matt
Yeah I was reading into that as well about a power commander. Im not sure if I should wait till I get my exhaust (thinking Leo Vince) or if i should just get it now. Will Apache motorcycles tune it and install it for me? -Matt
If your looking for a little more torque check out my thread "Did some work"... I cut out the funnel in my air box to let my bike breathe a little better and with a OEM filter I felt some very noticable gains in the 1000-8000 rpm range and it sounded meaner. After I ripped her around for a bit...
Yeah the coolant smelled a little burned and was slightly discolored. But now that I changed it out I have noticed that she warms up a little faster but but stays in the 160-190 deg F range depending on how long im sitting. Right now its cold here in AZ so once I start moving she cools right...
So I finally got my fan in the mail tuesday and put it in Wed. Flushed out the coolant and replaced it. One thing I really didnt like was my airbox IDK if some of you guys have ever seen it but there is a tiny little rectangle that leads down than shoots the air right at the filter through...
We should all plan a get together here soon on a weekend pref a Sunday and take a ride on some backroads or something. Maybe go to Tucson or Tombstone. Message back or PM me if your interested... -Matt

Update for my cooling problem.....not good..
As I said before the fuse is good tested voltage to the fuse with ignition on and off both checked good according to haynes. Also checked voltage to the relay and checked the relay itself for continuity both checked out fine. My task for today when...
