RXX

He stated it was a alu/steel version. I could believe that. 2 pounds of aluminum weighs more than 3 pounds of steel every time.

I have used it for the last 3 years on my Schuberth C3 Pro shield with no problems.

Odometer. I believe the bike has a speedo healer, would that make a difference? I know for a FACT (personal experience) that when the bike runs bone dry, it can be laid down to the ground and righted and it will go a little further. Tomorrow I will tell you which side.

I got one dead-on reading riding up to NeXXt earlier this month. 99 FI with a PC, don’t know the settings, otherwise stock. One rider with moderate baggage weight. 91 octane ethanol-free. Straight interstate, 75-90 mph, no stops. 36.7 mpg. Oh, and that was over 175 miles. Light came on then, and I was very close to a station.

Has this come out since you talked to them? https://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/Pro-Kit-for-BMW-R1200GS-R1200GSA-1250GS-2013-Newer_p_213.html

I have been looking for this product for years. Glass cleaner in a spill-proof container that is travel sized. I had to buy a case off Amazon, but it is pretty cheap per can, and once you stuff one in each vehicle, give a few away, stash a few for later, and huff the gas out of a couple they go quick. I gave some away at NeXXt, how has you guys’ experience been so far?

Find a plug and play HID setup. It will give you wood.

Good luck with the sale.

That’s a pretty bike.

High speed cases.

AND, The high beam now cannot be modulated. A favorite of mine. Tom, if you are dicking around with your illumination, this would be a good time to look into a modulator setup. Easy to install, reliable (mine was going on 60K on stock bulb), and other drivers notice you.

This. Tom, HID is the single most important upgrade you can do for your safety.

Who bought it? Did you give her the board address and tell her what a swell bunch of guys are here? Come on in, the water’s fine.

Yeah, that is exactly what it is.

OK, I have had Zero’s bike for a little over a year now, pit somewhere like 7K miles on it, and have always been going ”OH, SHIT, gotta flip the fan switch on, it’s almost on hot” But every once in a while, the fucker cut on by itself. WTF. So today, in the sweltering heat, and I mean it is hot and humid, I tested it out. Looks like it is working. Heated up, fan cut on. Cut on shop fan while running, fan cuts off. Cut the shop fan on, bike fan cuts on. Ran it a few cycles, and I think we are all good. I think the gauge is off. I am a genius. If any of your bikes are working, but you think it isn’t, give me a shout. I think I can help.

Nope, bot me.

Whether or not that fixes your problem, Craig is spot-on about the fuel increase. I just checked the Charlotte area on pure-gas.org (www.pure-gas.org) and there are a shit-bucket load of stations around there. No need for premium. BTW, the gauges are very bike specific. My “new” bird’s readings vary drastically from my old one. Both 1999 FI’s. Expect 220 miles per tank, and thank Allah if you do better. The blended gas has not been kind to your fuel lines, replacement is easy enough.

My first car was a 1955 Triumph TR2. Shortly after being given to me by my older brother the starter went out. No problem. I was 18 and was living in the Mississippi delta. Flat land, convertible, just pushed the fucker up to speed, jumped in, and I was off to the races. i was a real cool dude back then. All the popular girls wanted a piece of me.

It is, however, soluble in ethanol.

Mostly true, but a couple of our fleet cars now have a door that you just push to open, and when it does, the gas cap is attached to it and the fueling pipe is ready to roll. Weird, and I was surprised.

Wait a minute..... we don’t have to tipurn our jap bikes sideways, do we? I hate people who stereotype.

Yeah, this is actually a pretty good question.

Sort of like a fruit fly trap.

It is mounted on a magnetic base for ease in removal. The unit is mounted high and is very visible. That lends itself to sticky fingers. I have used one for years and it would require less fiddling when I get off the bike. The telephone jack in particular is more difficult to remove since it has that tiny tab on it. I have a screamer unit on the bike and it requires being connected via the audio jack. As much as anything, I hate the lack of feng shui exhibited by the designer. Not gonna happen. That unit has saved me so much money it is stupid. The bird is just so awesomely overpowered these little 35-40 mph roads are almost impossible to ride on responsibly.
