Last Autumn I had the dealer do a valve adjust/TB sync done on my Versys 650. They also replaced plugs and cleaned/oiled the air filter. It had 38k miles at the time, and had had all of those services before. After that my fuel economy dropped 15-20%, and the bike didn't run as well. The...

I haven't found this stuff at the biggest local Harley dealer I've checked. Do you know of a local dealer that stocks it? Mostly looking for the FXRG Leather/Textile overpants. If you have 'em where did you get 'em? And what do you think of them for local riding?

Prefer coax connector, but not mandatory. Whatdya got?

If you primarily commute by motorcycle, how many bikes do you have that you use for commuting? What bikes and how far is commute? Happy with what you have or do you want more/less/different? If you have a car/truck is it a realistic option for you to get to work if necessary? Just curious.

I was reading the bay bridge commute thread where someone lost some of their stuff, and it reminded me of an incident where I lost something while riding, and was able to backtrack and find it. I figure there must be a lot of tales like that. Mine can wait. What's yours?

I get a fuel economy drop when they switch to Winter gas, and I seemed to get another one in the last week--on my FI bike anyway. I put two tanks of regular through it, both with the worst economy I've observed over it's 41k miles. Before I start investigating, I thought I'd ask if others have...

I ordered this as a gift for someone: https://www.batchmade.com/batches/limited-edition-san-francisco-advent-calendar-with-locally-made-chocolates Made with a variety of local chocolates including the best ever, Poco Dolce. And some I haven't had which could be as good. Some of the money goes...

I've seen ads for used bikes where the bike is financed, the owner doesn't have the title, but wants the cash asking price in hand for a test-ride. As a buyer have you or would you ever hand cash to test ride a bike that the seller didn't even own? You're screwed if you crash it--you'd need...

I was trying to straighten a bent fender support on my bike and it broke. Can anyone weld it back today? It's an aluminum bit near the lower left side, here http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/2011-kawasaki-bike-parts/o/m148664#sch706740

I think they just posted the participating manufacturers. http://www.motorcycleshows.com/show-features/demo-rides-caaz-only This year it seems only CA & AZ get demos. Hard for me to imagine going without demo rides. The surprise this year for me is Harley isn't on the list. We get: Indian...

I haven't seen this list of riding tips posted here before. http://steveamie.com/pages/~CambodianStories_5

I'd like an accurate tire pressure gauge suitable for motorcycles. I'd like one that's easy to get on the straight valve of a dual-disc front wheel, and also is light and compact for carrying under the seat. And I'd like it to be accurate. I've googled for gauge accuracy, and a lot of the...

Rider with silver helmet with a wide black stripe, and a top case (Givi or similar), 24 east bound tonight: your top case wasn't latched. Hope you didn't lose anything important. The case kept bouncing open, but I didn't see anything come out...

I lost the quilted insulted liner to my textile Dainese pants. For commuting I wear them over jeans, for regular riding I just wear them as pants. It was always kinda snug to get both liner and jeans under them. Usually not needed though. Anyway I lost the liner and need a replacement...

Like a Suzuki TU250X, though I think those weren't sold in California. A friend of mine rides a Yamaha SR500 that he customized a bit--removed 30 lbs of stuff (e.g. battery). He's a senior citizen, and no longer wants to kick-start a big single. I think he'd be happy with what he has now with...

Sonora Pass is closed. Ebbetts is open, as are the passes to the north. Don't know about Tioga Pass.

Searched and didn't see this Keith Code video posted here before: HWH_QiXw5n4 Not sure if that's there legally or not. If not, he can get it removed.

1. When the chain starts needing frequent adjustment does that mean it needs to be replaced now or soon? I've gotten that impression but not really sure. My chain seemed to be holding it's adjustment pretty well recently, but when I checked it tonight, it surprisingly loose. It doesn't seem...

I'll be going there next week and wonder where to park my bike. Might seem like a silly question, but I don't know downtown San Jose very well. I do know it can be hard to park. I think the center has its own garage. If it has bike spaces, sometimes you have to know where they are to find...
