I'm up in WA and I think I've got a CA bike (not unusual for up here - but would need to verify with VIN). As mentioned in another thread I did have a few pings - but the bike seems to have corrected for that. Here's a thought - these things are run by computers. Reboot yours - disconnect the...

what did I do on mine today??? went on another grocery trip - burgers, beer, wine, etc......I've got some Touratech bags on it that make it quite the cargo ship....good excuse to ride the bike........the rest of my stable is getting a bit jealous

yes - the things make some interesting sounds - I keep telling people this is the first parallel twin I've owned & the cross plane crankshaft adds to it. Some interesting vibration regions on acceleration.........there are times when the engine is relatively unloaded that it seems electric...

Killer pics Tabasco.......I got the Altrider bars in black.......I like them in natural - looks great Now I'm thinking about the lights!!! I also got Altrider natural bash plate

I got the Tourtech 31/38 combo & am VERY pleased with quality, size, ruggedness etc. They are still sticker free, but we'll have to see how long that lasts.......

So I called CalSci and got the full family customer service treatment - honestly the nicest father/son combo ever to kicked stuff around with for about 10 mins. I called just to do some window shopping and left buying 2 windscreens & an assortment of fasteners. After testing the Yam factory...

I bought the shorty and also the large touring screen. I find the shorty works excellent around town with seat in low position and wearing full face helmet (Arai Corsair). With the touring screen I can wear my Arai XD3 and even with the duckbill/peak, there is little to no buffeting. I cound...

has happened to me twice. Ping is not a nice sound.... overall, most of the fuel injected bikes I've had have had off-idle issues - mostly abrupt response both off and on I think my first fuel injected bike was 2001 GSXR1000.......had a few inadvertant inputs going over bumps. My 2008...

I personally did not install mine. My local dealer (I-90 in Issaquah WA) did it and had not one bad word - fast, easy & look to be very stout. Also tossed on Tourtech bags - again, no hickups. Altrider silver glide plate has arrived and is to be installed this weekend at initial service. At...

thanks PTFJJJ - that might be the ticket! My dealer was nice to allow me to try the tall Yam windshield and it did help, but wasn't quite enough. I've seen the technique used before that calsci is doing, so I am sure there is merit. I'll have to investigate & see if I can get a demo some...

no problem for me - although as of last week neither State Farm nor Progressive had anything specific to the XT1200Z in thier quote databases. I ended up with Progressive, but rate is tough to figure given the multibike discount, etc.

all you aftermarket mfrs - Twisted Throttle, Alt Rider, etc I'm looking for 2 things now: 1) a short sissy bar for the wife - this provides the passenger physical comfort, a sense of security and also makes a good tie down feature 2) I am still struggling with buffeting - apparently I am too...

yes - thanks much!!! like I said, we'll know them when we see them

well.........better over than under

yes.........what is PDP? that is what I asked our regional and the folks at Laguna apparently it is being re-evaluated. I personally would like some differentiation from John-Q-Public so far I have a $250 Yama-dollars certificate I don't want to be wet blanket, but look what the Euros got -...

yes - I've sent my request as well Venture you are single-handedly starting a club sticker - we'll know one when we see one!!!

I'm surprised those of use participating in the dealer demos haven't just kept going & considered it a delivery! I'm slated for a ride this Saturday & am looking forward to a chat with the factory guys.

Bein's I'm from the west coast, I'd suspect Long Beach is the port of entry...... If I need to ride my Road King to Laguna you can bet I'll let the folks in the Yam tent know of my suggestions for updating ye old PDPoop

this is like some sort of black project - no word, no knowledge somebody must have a brother on the dock in Japan or Long Beach that knows the ship name.....jeez!

OK - made a commitment today Touratech 31/38 combo in anodized silver, Altrider black bars & natural aluminum bash plate.......now alls I needs is something to bolt them to.... ::)
