  1. The only option on the DCT is the Don Guhl re-flash. I cannot comment on the factory warranty as I purchased a leftover 'demo' bike and it had no such warranty.

  3. I use copilot too with my phone and a sena smh10. Do you know of anywhere that explains how to do custom routes for copilot and how to convert and import them, I love copilot but that is the one thing that would make it perfect. I had no idea you could do that. For instance all the routes on bestbikingroads.com are useless to me since they are gpx files. Thanks Right now I use ITN Converter. It will pull in Google Maps so you can create whatever route you want (similar to MotoGoLoco's Route Builder). You can then export the route to a CoPilot 8 file (.trp) and save the file to your phone. On my phone (Android) I save the .trp file on my SD card here: com.alk.copilot.namarket.premiumusa\NA\save. Next time you open CoPilot, you should be able to load the route you created. The ITN Converter is a little clunky to use, but it gets the job done. The Route Builder is pretty slick. I'm going to keep an eye on it and see where it goes.
  4. I posted my comment on your 'Feedback' page, but I figured I would post here as well. "I'd like to see the option to export routes to CoPilot. Right now, I can export the route as a .kml file and then use ITN Converter to convert the .kml file to a .trp file."

  6. Back to the 1A vs. the 2.1A phone charging. I'm more familiar with Android, but I assume iProducts follow the same set of rules... Even though we all know Apple tends to ignore the rules and make up their own... but that’s another topic. Per the USB standard, a USB port can source up to 1A to any peripheral (e.g. iPhone). If your iPhone will charge via USB port on your computer, it WILL charge with a 1A USB port. The kicker here is that the phone will charge VERY SLOW since the phone is charging in USB mode. The USB wall wart you use to charge your phone has some logic that will place the phone in AC charge mode which draws the most current. The upside to this is that your battery will not drain while running GPS and Bluetooth apps. The downside is that you need to make sure that your charger can source enough current to charge your phone (2.1A is typically more than enough). I'll leave out all the technical mumbo jumbo about how the USB port tells the phone what mode to charge in (USB vs. AC)... mostly since this is where Apple made up their own rules to make chargers proprietary... Long story short. 1A will work to charge your phone if the screen is off and you are not using it. 2.1A is a much better choice as your phone can still charge while using the GPS with the screen on and jamming out to music via Bluetooth.
  7. Yup. However they do make a 'less expensive' 1 A version. If you are going to go the USB route, don't get stingy now and go with the 1 A version.
  8. 3BR makes some good stuff. I've got the bar mounted USB port on my VFR1200. I didn't take any pictures of the install, but the finished product looks pretty nice. The wires from the USB port run to the accessory harness under the left faring.
  9. Went to install the Bazzaz today... I found the connector (I think) but I cannot seem to get enough slack in the wires to her the connector apart. The connector seems to be tied to something behind the frame. Is there something I'm missing or is it just going to take some bruit force to pull the connection apart? I AM pushing the button to release the connector... Just no dice. edit: Nevermind... got it. Sent from my SAMSUNG Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk 2
  10. The Z-Bomb seems like a nice easy solution to the power restriction in 1st and 2nd gear. I'll look more seriously at it once I'm through the break-in period on my bike and can get on it a bit. My concern is that Mr. Honda implemented this restriction due to some mechanical weak point and not 'wheelspining power' in low gears. Is there any concern about extra strain/backlash on the drive shaft due to this mod?
