    it's as if a fuse is blown, but none is

    '05 SV650 K5, 4400 miles. Battery is recent. To make a long story short, while adjusting the throttle position sensor (TPS), the bike would idle rough when approaching the correct engagement. So much so that the bike stalled. I turned the TPS back to where it ran and fired it back up and tried...

    Rearsets: No return spring OK?

    Installing Woodcraft rearsets here. The documentation, if you can call it that, states "for racing only" because there is no provision for a return spring. It makes me wonder why not.

    MotoGP report: SCRAMP effing sucks!

    First off, the race was great. I would have liked to see Edwards, Rossi and Roberts in the mix at the end but Nicky did a great job. It was an impressive performance. At the other end of the spectrum was SCRAMP. They did the WORST job of people-handling I have seen since the San Jose Grand...

    lube your freakin chains!

    Picking up lunch today, I'm sitting at a light when a rider goes by on his bike. The friggin chain made more noise than the exhaust! Lately, I've noticed so many bikes with dry sounding chains.
