    Clutch Slipping a little

    I would suggest replacing the 1-2 plates aboard of the internal spring "anti chatter".... check the basket for wear as well. Make sure you soak all the new plates before installing so you dont burn up the new ones...... and make sure all the plates are aimed "out"........ Im very...

    Engine Removal

    Ya know, I don't "recall" seeing this type of bolt before. If I had to make a tool I would still have the tool or remember making it. I didnt make a tool like this to remove the motor or are install it... I wonder if they might have changed a few things as the years have moved on ? It took...

    Engine Removal

    No you dont need that special tool.... Ive removed them and reinstalled them... The motor is just very heavy and is best to have two people when you actually drop the motor out of the frame... the top front bolts have some special "washers" (not sure the correct name)... make sure you take...

    Bikes of the Future

    Yep, there is certainly a future with technology.... Cool video. I think a good way to assess the future of the motorcycle industry is to simply look at the current car industry pertaining to "technology"... New tech is generally very expensive and often ultimately not wanted.

    Tablet based Nav, Non-Garmin / TomTom / (NAV)

    I believe the large screen T865X with bar controller is about $1200-$1300 with no satellite communication.... (for comparison) These few devices are on a whole different planet over a typical everyday Tom-Tom, if someone is looking for this type of equipment. For me this is educational and...

    Tablet based Nav, Non-Garmin / TomTom / (NAV)

    Not sure...... I could see it being used as specific tool for someone. I think of safety like boots, helmet, GPS like the story of a friend that needed a $50K helicopter ride because he 'cheaped' out on the correct gear. (personal experience and opinion for sure) Im personally not buying...

    Tablet based Nav, Non-Garmin / TomTom / (NAV)

    Evidently garmin are using Android based stuff for these more advanced race units. You can download load apps to this Tread XL. I do not think you can do it with any other garmin. I like the idea of DMD2 along with the crazy detail you can get with this tread along with in reach built in...

    Tablet based Nav, Non-Garmin / TomTom / (NAV)

    I came across an ADV video with someone who mounted a Garmin Tread XL..... Has anyone used this or know someone who has ? I understand you can down load the DMD2 software behind the Garmin software. Also this has In-reach built I with full satellite connectivity. Thoughts? This is to...

    SUPER TENERE RIDE NMBDR 2025

    Im flexible if someone can ride with me on the NMBDR...... If there schedule isn't ridged, then Aug or Sep would probably be best... NM in August is HOT... I would like to do NMBDR.... I can do many other rides on my own, but it's all up in the air depending on other peoples...
