I rode 16,700 miles in 2023. Rode from Southwest Florida to Oregon to meet a buddy then we headed north to Tuktoyaktuk via the Cassiar Hwy and the Robert Campbell Hwy to the Dempster. Fire had closed the Dempster when we got to Dawson City but luckily the road was opened the next day. Still...

I had to replace the bushings in my 2016 after dumping the bike in the dirt. No problems since replacing.

OK I will take it all

I rode around the block today. The temp was 95 and the heat index 109!

I will Take the grab handles

I have the largest boxes and they are 38 inches in width. They are not wider than the handlebars.

I just added a rear brake light to my 2016 ES. Found the brake wire on the left side under the passenger seat enclosed in a rubber covering. There were 3 wires; yellow for brake, black for ground and dark blue that I assume was the taillight,

I just noticed that my local Wal-mart store in Southwest Florida has this battery in stock! Same price $129.95

FM Rider - 1 chicken dinner

Took a little ride in southwest Florida this morning. Not much to see here in Flatistan. The roads are straight and the curves are few and far in between. Stopped at the Myakka river and took a couple pictures of the local wildlife. No old swimming hole fun here!

On the 2018 thread there is a link to GPX files located on Drop Box but the files no longer exist. Does someone have GPX files of possible roads and trails to ride?

I took Jaxon's advice and replaced the thermostat and now all is well.

I don't believe 199-202 is a normal operating temp at 75 mph. Even in the heat of the summer it stays below 180 when cruising.

It’s a 2016 with 46K miles. I haven’t seen any weeping or antifreeze crustys

Was going down the freeway today and noticed the temp was fluctuating between 199 and 202. Was traveling about 70-75 and the air temp was about 83 degrees. Got off the freeway onto city streets and temp increased to 210 or so and as soon as I would stop for a light the temp would increase...

I'm definitely coming

I'm interested. Can you make it a week it doesn't rain?

Ran good and no problem starting.

Checked my valves for the first time at 41,000 miles and found all four exhaust valves tight at .20mm, .15mm, .20mm and .18mm. The intake side was ok at .14mm for 2 valves and .13mm for 2 valves

took my cordless drill, chucked a 1/4 socket drive extension in the drill and then put on a 12mm socket and used that to turn the plunger to reset. I was surprised how easy it was to reset using the cordless drill after all the time spent trying to get the plunger in using the twist method.
