    I've extracted a few keys with a pick.  Two picks, one on each end of the key, often works better.

     

    As for removing the assembly, I don't think you'll need to remove the tank.  If the piece of key is in the right position you should be able to turn it with a screwdriver or other tool to open it.  It might be worth trying this before trying to extract the key in case you can't get it out.  Trying to extract might move it out of position forcing tank removal.  The piece of key might be able to move further in, not sure if it bottoms out on the key tip or the 'flat' near the key handle, so be careful with the screwdriver.

    I have seen this done as well, instead of using a screwdriver what about the broken off key base as the screwdriver?
    If all else fails just take the whole bike to the locksmith or have a mobile locksmith stop by and extract the key remains.  Don't waste time with the tank removal.

    Even if you're doing track days, I recommend a Q3 front with a Roadsmart rear.  Plenty of grip for 99% of your riding, plus wet weather capability and decent mileage.  If you're looking for maximum mileage, I'm not the guy to ask. 😁

    The Q3 is no more, very old and outdated now.
    The Q3 Plus and the Q4 have replaced it.

  3. I may have found the answer.

     

    i went into my passwords on my iCloud account and saw the .org listed twice with the same password. I deleted one and refreshed the other and when I went to go back in it asked me to log in again but showed a little pop up with a key pictured.

    tapped the key and it auto filled and let me in.

    seems now it is working as it should again.

    hopefully all straightened out.

    I am sure it is operator error!

     

    this new XS is amazing and looking forward to playing with the camera.

    There is a checkbox on the login page to keep you logged in.  There's the ability to save logins to your keychain and/or iCloud account which provides credentials automatically for any site or app.  You should use both.

     

     

    I am aware of the check box and have checked it off each time so I am assuming that I am not saving the login to my keychain and/or iCloud account.
    That is what I am trying to figure out how to use.

  5. I got my new XS yesterday and it is doing the same thing as my 6S did.

    Everytime I go to the .org in Safari it says 

    "You do not have permission to view this content"

    (Existing user? Sign in)

    I think it is a setting that needs to be changed but haven't found where or how to save log-in info?

     

     

  6. Just started to happen the last couple days with my iPhone 6S.

    Everytime I open the .org app on my iPhone it requires me to log in even though i have checked to box "remember my log-in"

    I am getting a new iPhone XS delivered today so it may not matter but was just wondering if this is happening to anyone else lately.
    Seems fine on my PC running Windows 10 Pro with Chrome.

    Just sold it 5 minutes ago - guy hasn't even picked it up yet and I'm regretting it. I'm also just not riding it - and now with my 5 five bikes I really didn't have the space.

     

    Back to the goodies.

     

    The Akra I noticed doesn't have the "decal" on it anymore. I believe I have metal Akra labels in my box of much misc.  I've had this several years wrapped in bubble wrap always with the intent of installing on old blue - just never did it. Can, header etc are all complete and looks ready to install.

     

    Corbin seat is in good condition but dusty. I'll wipe it off and take some pics later today.

     

    Still not sure what the correct pricing is for this stuff. I'm thinking $700 for the full exhaust and $250 for the seat?

     

    Good Prices.
    That is better than 50% off current prices.

  8. Looking at reviews has convinced me to skip any of the above listed horns on Amazon!
    I bought one of these and mounted it on the Yamaha FJR1300 using the stock hardware.

    easy unplug and unbolt, swap horns and rebolt and plug in, done 

    Not super load but a big improvement on the stock meep-meep sound.
    A plus that the name is ZKXX !

    Think I will do the same on the Civic. Was looking for something louder but everything I see is cheap made junk with bad reviews.

     

    I miss my Nathan real train horn that I had installed on my Rideline with separate compressor and 3 gallon tank. But that was $1,500.00 in cost.
    I still have the compressor and tank for some future install.

    Hello,

     

    Do you still have these beetlebags available for sale? I can meet you hopefully during your trip to Florida. 

     

    Thanks!

    Day late as Joe is heading back home to Pennsylvania after being in Florida this past weekend.

    I can’t speak a lot to the differences between the Grom and Z125. I watched a few videos and they perform very similarly. I think the Grom has a much larger after market.  Michael can give you lots of info on this. 

     

    For Street, I don’t believe there is a CRF 125 dual sport available. Dirt/trail only. You would have to stick with the Grom/Z125. 

     

    For Mini Racing, the CRF125, Grom, and Z125 are legal for the Stock 100/125 and Stock 100/125 40+ classes. However, very limited mods are permitted. Stock exhaust. Stock motor. Stock suspension but you can upgrade internals and springs. Wheels and controls can be changed. 

     

    Thanks,

    I was more interested in the comparison between the dirt/trail (CRF) style verses the street (Z125) style on the track completing against each other in the Stock 100/125 40+ class. I saw where you were riding the dual sport at Homestead. Just wondering for the adult on a little bike difference, for the fun of it. Probably will not ever actually race but would be fun anyway. Also something to help the potential young rider to have an opportunity to experience the enjoyment of 2-wheels in a safe environment. Would love to get Collin, Brads son, on a bike.

  11. Looking forward to talking with you and Michael at RacerXX.

    I have been looking at the Z125 and the Grom. Since I already own a Suzuki, Honda and Yamaha, I like the thought of adding a Kawasaki to the stable.

    I want to talk with you guys about the advantages and differences between a CRF style verses street style (Grom) for fun/track occasional riding.
