Re: pointless whiny rant

Re: 2002 r1150r leaking rear wheel drive

Iowa, I had the same thing happen to mine. 15K. I found it in winter and had them drag it over to the dealer. The rear seal on her was leaking, along with a small leak around big friggin allen bolt (I do not know proper terms). They replaced the seals and even the spline! Under warranty. IMHO take h...

To buy or not to buy, let me know your opinion! Please

Well my local tire guy who has been putting Metzelers on my bike has come across a front "brand new" Metzeler Z4 which was said about a year ago that you could not get anymore. I love Z4, I have a Z6 on the back already......My trip to NC has put the need for new tread in the front.....I c...

To cold for a ride I guess.....

Christmas day ride, all went well until i put her back in the garage. The rubber grommett that goes on the swing arm to the wheel started leaking. They say this is pretty bad and not to touch it if this happens. So off to Twin City. My first leak, besides the fuel leak 6 months ago. Anyone else have...

thanks GEO, will have to get over to Jacksonville here shortly, what are you doing Sunday? I have a group that loves to go to Fast Freddies in Alton, and I thought I would do the trip Sunday, if not with them, by myself (and my lady). Just a little bit weary of the z6 bc of wet traction, hell even t...

I hate Ill!

You know when I lived in South Carolina, a set of Metzelers would last me 8000 miles. I put a new set on in March and I was at the dealer today and put a fresh Z6 on the back. This state not having twisties has got to go, or I have to go. So being it that this is my first Z6 and I am running a Z4 on...

Never had this before, what do ya'all think

Question: When I let the yellow light go on the other day, I rode it for about 25 more miles and filled up. When I arrived at the filling station, I went to open the gas cap and literally it was hard to open, usually it just pops up. There was so much pressure built in the tank when I did get it ope...

the only thing that holds the clock in is the "chrome" washer nut. when you take that off, use a screw driver to literally pop it out of the instrument cluser. the bad news is, when you do this, the time adjustment rod is going to be taken out as well, so you will need to resync that when ...
