I would love to go.....but wife works...so I got kids on Sunday... Too bad it's not Saturday. By the way .... do they still get busy even on a holiday weekend ? Maybe it's the best time to go ... Have fun you'all....

As the season is winding down, the low is 47 F tonight! ,I think I'll ride with the rattle until I put the bike away for the winter. In doing so I have to take fairing off and such to get to the carbs for proper draining. I will reassemble the bike next spring and I'll go over the items that you guys suggested. I will, for sure, ride the bike stripped down to see if the rattle is still present, and work my way back to full assembly, hopefully finding that pesky noise. I'll try to use one of those noise finding stethoscope, maybe I get lucky like you suggested. Until than I better ride little faster than 4500 rpm...... Thanks for all the help !!

unfortunately I got bad rep just because I expressed my opinion about a 600 cc bike post. Some have elected to disagree with me and gave me some bad rep, which frankly I really could care less if under my name it looks like a Christmas three. It's unfortunate that even though we are all in title of our own opinion, some people here feel that unless you share the same idea you are a less of a rider...just like you noticed the red lights under my name and coming to your intelligent conclusion. In the end the reason why I came to this site few weeks ago, is to ride with some fellow riders from time to time. And in fact I met some, and they seems very friendly people. I have been riding for the past 30 years mostly in Italy and lately here in the USA, and the opportunity to ride in a group with mostly sport bikes, is what got me interested in this site in the first place. It's remarkable that instead of offering a suggestion to my dilemma, only you are concerned is what light is blinking under my name. Maybe since you show all those pretty colors, you could use your wisdom and en light a newbie like me, to how I can go about to correct my bike problem. Thanks for your time Happy riding !

I found that pushing on the instrument cluster ,reduce the rattle a bit. I am wondering if the speedometer cable might getting worn off inside the speedometer assembly. I only have 19k on the bike, and I never had an instrument cluster going bad on me.....I should strip the bike down to the frame and go riding, than start putting pieces back together, and ride in between every item I put back on the bike until I find the one that rattle.............if I remember how it goes all back together !!

Welcome !!!

yes I do ...best deal in town!

Hi I have a zx11d. Between 4000 and 4500 rpm there seem to be a rattle behind the instrument cluster. I took fairing apart and fired up the engine and rattle still there. Is there an easy way to pinpoint a rattling part? Is possible that in the instrument cluster some got lose ? I'would like to hear your opinion on this. Thanks

If you decide to go, leave the 14 at home and go there with a regular bicycle. They seldom do posted speed limit and your bike will run hot and angry for riding in 1ST gear the all way....I'll love the cause but the ride sucks !!! good luck either way

welcome!!

I was wondering if anyone is riding tomorrow morning or afternoon. Just riding around or on an organized run.....anyone ? Weather looks perfect....

I think you need to start riding a 4 wheeler in the deepest woods you can find.....that's some bad luck !!

welcome!!!!!!!!!

welcome ..

what a classy reply ....I bet you thought of it all afternoon....

gets even better if I lower my coverage to 50/100k ...1 year $66 Sold !!

you are the best....they beat those fags at progressive...1 year $77. Thanks for the tip!!

Forget the 600...you too tall and you will look ridiculous on it ....I am 6'2" and I always rode big bore bikes. Aside from the cool factor.....you're going to get tired of having people passing you by...you're going to get bored of of it and looking to upgrade in a year or two. If I were you , there are lots of 900/1000/ and up sport bikes out there and you can buy a very good one and stay within your budget. The economy is bad for a lot of people and they need to unload lots of toys. Also not to mention that going fast on a 600 feels terrifying compared going at the same speed on a larger bike. So ...look around and since you look like you have been riding for a while, don't settle for a 600 or 750.....get with the program and got get yourself some big onions. either way ...good luck !!

60 years old ??? that's when the fun begin.... welcome and lets ride .......fast possibly !!

Those fags at progressive they raised my premium from $75 a year to $95. No reasons given.....

Glad to hear you had better weather the rest of the way . If I knew Speazy was just around the corner, I might have waited with you guys at the gas station. And you also right about drying up.....by the time I got home, underwear was dry, but my nuts were like dry out prunes. I wish I had the all day to ride with you guys, I thought that I was going to turn around in the next hour or two, so I thought to do it while in the middle of the downpour. Anyway, thanks for letting me tag along....next time I have to be either further up or way behind.....Tony with his big fat tire, caked me and my bike with road shit...After you saw my bike Tod, you can imagine how long it took me to bring it back to a shine.... I'll be out of town next week....I'll probably try to do the QS&L this Wed in Valley View....my daughter prob in the back seat. I look forward to ride again as soon as I came back from vacation .... Later.....

I would say lets cannon ball down QS&L on the highway.....much more fun ...lot less bugs on your shield...
