    Battery Question

    Take your battery to an AutoZone and have them load test it. Many times a battery will read full voltage at rest but when a load is put on it it goes flat. Not sure why you would want to start the bike 5 times in a row. I read that as start it. Immediately shut it off. Start it again and...

    Have you ever had an off???

    Just one. About 2 years ago lowsided my 00 vfr about 60 mph. The worst part was seeing the bike disappear over the cliff while I was sliding toward it. With all the gear I walked away with a little road rash and one f***ed up helmet.

    How many miles do you get out of your brake pads?

    When i sold my fz with 41k miles it still had the original pads. They still look fine. not close to the wear indicators. I should say that i normally only use the brakes to stop from second gear. these bikes like the revs so engine breaking works great

    A Cheap Laugh

    Holy ****. That happened here. I was one of the cops at the "scene". There is a little more to the story than his here. The lady called 911 freaking out that this guy was trapped. So when the fire dept gets there she insists that they climb the ladder and check on the guy. We tried and tried to...

    Not all cops know bikes...

    being a cop myself I thought my light was burned out to before I realized Yamaha designed it that was. In Indiana it is a ticketable offense to have a head light out. I have never written one for that, but have stopped a lot just to let them know before someone does write them for it.

    Ive been tempted..i might defect (again)

    Damn why can't we get decent bikes here in the US? That Honda is dead sexy. Maybe I say that because there isn't one on every corner here in the US. Honda's build quality (fit and finish) is every bit as good as Yamaha.

    Glow in the dark (photoluminescent) Vinyl

    Only thing I would be concerned about is how long the "glow" will last. Having kids the "glow in the dark" stickers and things they have usually don't glow very long after a few months. The good stuff (like gun sights and high end watch pieces that "glow") doesn't absorb ambient light and give...

    battery access

    no there is no remote terminal for the battery. I would recommend a battery tender and run the leads someplace you can access them easier. this will keep the battery fully charged. running the bike at idle doesn't do much to charge the battery. you'll need to get the rpm s up to do anything to...

    F/S: Dowco deluxe saddlebags and tailbag

    I have used them over the seat, but there is no reason you couldn't put them under the seat. When I traveled I would unhook the two front and two rear attachment points on the saddle bags and take all 3 into the hotel. The security of the saddlebags is the same if the tailbag is on or not...

    First time pulled over, first ticket :(

    Don't be too sure of that. The Stalker radar picks up the strongest and fastest. For instance if a bike is passing a car (or semi) the car will be displayed in the strongest box and the bike in the fastest. The newest one does coming at the unit as well as going away from the unit in both...
