    What did they do at the service....I truly dont know and am not trying to be smart. Could be a stuck float.

    Well just for a quick look see to check out if it is in KM 1 mile is about 1.6km 10 miles would be 16km give or take a hundred yards or so. This is a rough check for you if you know a set distance. Also on the face of the speedo the MPH numbers will be larger and KMPH will be under and smaller. 60 mph is around 100km per hour. 55 is roughly 90km per hour. 40 is 60km 30 is 50km

    Jeees...I feel bad for your luck! Brandy new bike and all.... Well I guess it should go back to the dealer and get a new one. Perhaps have them check to make sure everything in that area are up to snuff. Really, I dont think this is the bikes fault...it may have happened in the assembly of the bike...bad things have happened with inexperienced "kids" putting the bikes together.

    I believe its the PC 680.

    If thats the set up I thinking about, you should be able to drive over and do the seat swap at his place! You both west coasters...I think he is in Abbortsford.

    Jim I remembe some discussion bout this awhile back. I've searched and cannot find a thread dealing with it though. Not being familiar with the system I dont know how to help. I do recall some putting those things on the windshields, or mounting them with their sat. radios. Sorry ole bean...but drawing a real blank here.

    Great deal..ya better jump on that! Nice bike too!

    Yes, mandatory just like cage drivers training. A must now in Manitoba. This has reduced the number of accidents with young people considerably...translate to cheaper insurance maybe. Marilyn was required to take the mc course. It is better than having me trying to teach her...we know where those lessons can lead to in some cases! I've seen places were you had a graduated curve...nothing over 500cc for a time then move up to the bigger class. Of course now it wouldnt matter with the 650cc putting out more horses than the 1800cc in some cases. I dont like mandatory anything either...but there are alot of people who might be out there that really shouldnt be. Another thought...and I try to convince the 20year old this all the time.....driving is a priviledge (in Canada anyway) and not a right.

    I cant read the far one. Pedestrians walking on the road motorcycle use caution- self explanetary me thinks 10'6" overhead height limit....hmmmm must be low bridge or branches somewhere ahead.

    Dont know but I am sure gonna watch this post with interest. Really cant see why it wouldnt work though. They advertise those things for cars all the time. The other option is to get a battery tender on it. I believe I've seen those with pig tails coming down so you just have to plug it in once the wires are installed.

    I have seen one and only one set for the first gen a while back. It fetched a very nice price if I recall correctly. It connected to the saddle bag protection bars and was adjustable. Very slick and great for short passengers...like my little girl.

    Hey Bob Just scroll a little farther down in this post. You will see several other posts regarding risers on their bikes. I dont know if they talk about your bike but you should get some ideas.
  17. sarges46
    Yep it would be stylish but not too functional! Marilyn rides behind me alot times and if she forgets then I remind her. But she just leaves it on...its easier to remember to turn the key all the way off than turn that switch on. The place that happened was at a retired co-worker we popped in to visit out in the country. She wouldnt normally leave her key in the bike at all.
  18. sarges46
    And on Marilyn's vstar its on the right light! The lights go off with the key as well. She runs em all the time...once she left her key on and it ran the battery down pretty darn quick...we had to boost the bike to get it going.

    BMW sells em http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=211&cat=7 They are on my new bike and it moves the passing lights away from the fairing just enough so you dont have to remove the lights to split the fairing.

    Heck I feel dumb all the time...and I didnt know this either 2 years ago! SO welcome to the club!
  21. sarges46
    I sure agree with you Gary. Lets see what happens in the end. Next time I am in Winnipeg I will ask the dealer there.

    Got a good one for you folks. As most know I am buying a US 05 midnight from a member here. Now, how do I go about transferring the warranty into my name? I know my dealer here will not do warranty work on my bike...he has already told me so and that I will be required to go back to the US for any work needed. Yamaha Canada has also told me the same thing. Then I asked how they take care of US travellers that have urgent repairs needed...well that was over a month ago and I am still waiting for a reply! Not a huge concern as I am not that far from the border. But I do know I need to transfer the thing into my name. Thanks as usual!

    hmmm...maybe ya better get a trailer Bigin!
  24. sarges46
    Ok...getting ready to get yelled at again..but here goes. I read that one shouldnt tow any more than half the weight of the bike. Does that make sense?
  25. sarges46
    Hey rickb....I'm pretty sure much of the comments about large print was for this me! He knows Im getting up there....and actually Paul....I was asked if I was interested in officer training.....not that dumb though so I turned em down!
