:whistle: well yea, it was the rear blinker.... :whistle: I took the bulb out and it was not blown. I will look more at it tomorrow, but any advice on where to start trouble shooting.....

I have a question about the speed of turn signals (blinker). I ride just about every day and this past week has been a cold one here in FL (30’s in morning, high of 50). I know it is not ‘freezing’ but it has been cold and will put a nice glaze of frost on the bike when the sun comes up. My...

SMOOTH, SMOOTH SMOOTH, what ever you do do it smooth! Sounds like there is not much help or tip, but if you focus on all inputs and make them smooth, you will be ok. Steering, breaking, accelerate, shift, lane changes. Smooth, nothing quick, or snapy just be smooth and ride like a newbie (slow...

what kind of ride yall normaly do? how long (time)? area? how many riders? and skill level? (hate to be the worst newb :poke: )

Maybe there was some expectations of it feeling differnt, but it sure fell a lot more 'tipsy' when I took her off the stand than it did when I got the OEM replaced a while back.

CaBusaGirl.... if your going to ride on public roads, you have to assume someone has a camera :laugh::beerchug:

I understand what I gave up, I will try the 190 / 55 next time I need new tires. (can’t afford to trash them just yet) Answers to your questions : The tire is a Bridgestone Battle Axe BT016R. Brand new front and rear. She is a 2005, with just over 11k miles on her. Laying on the bike or full...

:welcome: Take the baffles out (two little screws where the exhaust comes out) :whistle: When, where yall meet up to ride? where yall go?? I would like to ride :thumbsup:

Looking for some feedback from other riders that have used tire set with rear being 180 / 55 on thier bus. I recently had to get new tires and opted for this set up. I wanted to lighten the ‘feel’ of the bike, increase ease of turning, and give her a better feel in the corners. DONE, DONE...

I prefer Mon-Fri at most local churches ;) but without much 'tips' it is more trial by error ???

Care to share some of your knowlege? how to do you balance 'skim vs grind'?

:whistle: Ok, going to really sound like a noob here but still trying to figure out the physical parts of getting a knee down.... I did some street riding over the weekend and cannot get leaned over far enough without having to straighten up (turning too sharp). I am no author, but here is a...

??? My front tire tread is used to the edge MUCH faster than my rear tire.... Maybe I am doing something wrong but, I had chicken strips on the rear of my OEM tires, but all the way to the edge of the front tire.....

THIS is the kind of info I am looking for. is there a 'step by step' how to drag a knee posted here? or any where?? For me, I don't care to drag a knee, but I do want to know HOW to corner at higher speeds. if my knee touchs fine, if not fine. But I do want to expand my skill base. I find...

Nice vid, how fast? what gear? apx RPM? Thanks, still trying to learn a good recipe to a good lean.
