    It's not a big job. Couple of hours max the first time. Check your rear brake pads while you're in there. The inside pad is likely more worn than the outside pad. If both are still good, swap them.

    You also need to bolt everything down following the proper sequence. There is a Tech Bulletin on that. Maybe it's on this site somewhere.

    My '81 Vision had that sound. My '82 Seca 650 had that sound. So did my '82 Seca Turbo. I always thought it was the YICS or something.

    Bravo! People won't be able to make their bikes louder anymore!! Get a bigger HORN, folks! PS: Emissions controls are GOOD.

    You need EdSets!

    I've had an HJC AC-3 with shield for the last few years. Got EdSets speakers and mic in there. Love it!

    In a few weeks, I will be travelling to Portsmount, NH, then all the way up the coast of Maine to Eastport. I would like some advice on hotel/motel reservations. Should I make some? And how far in advance? I really don't want to book anything ahead of time. I want to see where the wind takes me. For example, I will probably spend one night at Old Orchard Beach. I notice there are plenty of logdings along the beach there. Will I find something when I get there? With the economy the way it is, will the vacation spots be less crowded? Cheers!

    Guess you're not. A breath of fresh air, for sure.

    I had quite a few mean jokes to make about this, but after seeing a recent picture of him, all I could think is how sad this man's life has been. Rest in peace, Michael.

    After you have 900lbs of motorcycle sitting on them, they don't move.

    I use four hockey pucks, one on each corner of the lift. One of them has a notch in it for the kick stand switch.

    I'm curious, too. Specially how the low beam/high beam works.

    You'll have to get a Goldwing for better sound. But then you wouldn't have the smooth ride anymore. The solution? Edsets speakers in your helmet!!

    Are those MPH as per the bike's speedometer or are those real MPH?

    I put in Iridium plugs a while back, too. How long are they supposed to last, anyway?

    Shoulder checks are free.

    Can you elaborate, please? Are you talking about the same vacuum ports that I use to sync my carbs?

    In my opinion, better speakers won't make much of difference. The amplifier is just not strong enough to provide the volume without clipping. Probably your best bet is to upgrade the front speakers and set the fader to drive only the front.

    I got to try the phone on the road today. Got a call from my gf. She said I sounded fine. I was talking louder than when I was testing it in the garage, but I was by no means screaming. So I guess all is well. Cheers, and cudos to BuddyRich for that cable!

    The folks who bought this thing are eagerly waiting for a firmware update. The BT stack in one area where major improvements are needed.

    Understood. But it seems that Garmin has taken a few steps backwards in releasing the 660. You would think that they would have built upon the 550, but they didn't. Functionality that was present in previous Garmin units is missing. Bugs that were long ago resolved in older models are present on the 660. Until firmware upgrades start coming in, this thing will remain a mess. For example, it appears that they are using a different BT chipset in the 660. Basic stuff that worked on the 550 doesn't work on the 660. Like phonebook transfer, pairing, etc. Another example is recalculating routes on import. It's causing no end of grief for users. Go do some reading at zumoforums.com. It's pathetic.

    PS: I'm using a Edsets kit, too. It's top notch stuff. My voice comes through great over the CB.

    I was testing this in my garage, so no wind noise. And there is no mic volume control on the 660. I did make sure I was talking in the right side of the mic. The voice is coming through if I talk loud enough. The 660 is new and is very buggy and has a lot of BT issues. Again, from the discussion in the Zumo forum, it sounds like a problem when using the Zumo's hard-wired mic connection. This is why I would love to hear from members here that have this setup.

    I'm saying that the caller cannot hear me very well. I hear the callers just fine. I don't think it's an issue with your cable. This problem is being reported in the Zumo forum from folks using the Zumo 660 with different bikes and different hardwired kits. BTW, classy kit you sent me. The little extras are nice.
  25. 04Midnight
    Is anybody using the Zumo 660 with the BuddyRich cable and BT phone? Are you getting good results being heard on the other end when talking on the phone? For the record, folks in the Zumo forum are reporting weak voice under different configurations. This is NOT a problem with the BuddyRich cable. I am getting weak voice myself and looking for feedback from other Venture owners. Cheers!
