I've been taking my tires & wheels to the local Honda dealer to have em mounted/balanced. Other day, left the rear wheel with worn out tire & new tire for r&r. Total price: $84.25 I asked "If I bought the tire from ya'll and had it replaced would there be any price difference? Answer, no. Only 3 yrs ago is was about $38.00

Works for me when I add an item to my watch list. Then get an offer from the seller! Thanks!

On my ‘09, thinking of installing a 190/55-17 rear tire. Anyone running a bigger tire than the 180? Thanks, Robert

The kill switch on the right handlebar is on, right?

I turn the front wheel all the way to the left. With left hand on left bar & right hand on left grab handle & right foot on center stand, I then pull back with both hands & it lifts right up.

That's who I was thinking, thanks. Just thinking, if I used a different weight oil, would that stiffen up the nose dive?

On my '09, one of the forks sprang a leak, I used a "seal mate" and got the bugger out. All good now but at 32,000mi. I'm going to change the fluid and perhaps replace the seals. That got me to thinking about a guy that rebuilt these forks and maybe put a stiffer spring in for my 260lbs. Anyone have a lead on him, wasn't he Daugherty? or the like? Thanks, Robert.

This weekends MotoGP race in Portugal had several yellow flags & then after a 2 rider crash they red flagged the race!!!!! I don't think it was necessary. Both riders & bikes were off the track & no one seriously injured. Announcers commented that they felt for Alex Marquez, as he could have possibly made the podium. Conspiracy: Ducati & money?

I bought it new in 2011 & have put 30,000 miles on it. No issues to date. Just like preventive maintenance. Thanks.

Right, forgot I have a tube of OxGard in the garage! I saw a guy on utube with a voltmeter mounted on the left fairing piece & it had a flip cover with 2 usb ports. Thanks for the r&r lead.

Is the electrical upgrade necessary on a 2009 model? Perhaps I should at least put dielectric grease in connectors. What about upgrading the rectifier to a Mosfet or similar? Also, what is a good voltage gauge to add? One with the flip cover, brand? Suggestions welcome, thanks Robert.

Going to change the coolant in the ‘09, so has anyone had claimed cooling results using the Engine Ice?? Worth it? Thanks, Robert

99.99% Sure it's the front tire. Same happened to me at same speed slowing down especially. New front Dunlop was the culprit. Replaced with a Metzler and it stopped!

I got a message that COTA tickets will be for reserved seating only, no GA. But, ya can buy a reserved ticket & then wander about the grounds. What is this about? I've always bought the GA tickets cause we like to sit on the hills.

I move around a bit when riding, once I put on tank side grips it gives 2 more points of contact!
