Nice report HS. Rist canyon is a fun little ride. Haven't ridden it this year yet, but will do soon. Makes a nice loop with Stove Prairie and the Poudre (which I know you've ridden before). If you make it up again this summer give me a shout. Love to catch up with you soon. Sucks about the ticket. These guys see a "sport" bike and they get a frickin' hard on!

Nice video Miguel! One of my favorite rivers to fish.

Nice video Miguel. That is one of the local favorites around here. Best part is that it connects to the Poudre canyon and makes for a nice loop. Take it easy. Nick

I used the Mobile 1 for years, but I think the Rotella is just as good and 2 bucks cheaper per quart. I should probably change it more often. I didn't change it last spring after it sat most of the winter which was probably not a good idea, but didn't take any long stressful rides. When I did change it I noticed the bike ran better. Whoops, won't make that mistake this spring.

Looks like a nice ride HS. Never been on the pass on my bike. Went up the Poudre canyon for a short ride yesterday and noticed the leaves are really turning especially down by the river. I snowboard at A basin and Loveland all the time. Be a hoot to meet you up there this winter. Maybe I could give you a few pointers on riding (your snowboard that is). :goofy:

California 040046.jpg Hey it was open when I rode through there. See? It says open 24 hrs. What a bummer. Anyway, just read through your report Miguel and it was great. Brought back some great memories of my ride to Big Pine in '04. I agree about Nevada (at least the central part). The best roads are in the North with fantastic scenery. I'd like to get out there again. The road into Big Pine was awesome. I rode down to Big Pine and then rode back to the top and camped near the pass in the bristle cone groves. It was a bitch trying not to drop my bike in the sandy soil as I was looking for a camp site. Thanks for the stories. Great stuff!

Nice video. Never ridden over that pass before, but at over 11,000 ft. in my POS car, in a blinding snowstorm, it was a bitch!

NVR, this may be the only area that I can actually provide some advice and or guidance. I have a similar set up although I have Remus exhaust, K&N and O2 elims. I experienced worse than normal surging after I installed my O2 elims. For somme reason the CPU doesn't always recognize the open loop (or is it closed loop) at start up so you have to turn the key to the on position let it go through it's FI whine and then turn it off. Wait a couple seconds and tunr it back on and then start it. I do this every time now and have no problems. Others have had the same issue. Give that a try without the PCIII first befoe you get drastic. Good luck.

MFP, when I first put in the O2 sensor eliminators which I purchased for 30 bucks on my Vtech I had the same problem as you described as did a few others on the board. The lurching was terrible. However, I discovered that by turning the ignition on, letting it go through it's whine, then turn it off and then back on and then start the engine, the surging and flat spot are completely eliminated. Why does this happen? No f ing clue. Some think that the computer resets itself after you shut down the bike each time. By "rebooting" the computer it seems to read the open loop. I think Das Bone has documented this too. So leave them in and just on/off/on your bike each time. Beats spending 300 bucks on a PC111.
