I would say it's a bad battery

Thanks Tonik that works awesome. Not sure why everyone talks about you being full of hate.

On the mobile version how do you make it so when you click on a thread it goes to the last post you read?

I had my right knee done last year in December. I have had ups and downs over the past year. My biggest problem is my knee continues to swell but I also push it at times. I had the surgery primarily so I could still ride my quad. I did get back on the quad this summer and was able to do everything I did in the past on it including 30 to 40 foot jumps. I also had the surgery so I could get back to playing basketball, that has not happened however. It is been over year and I still struggle with running there are times I can do it but often I cannot. Two weeks after the surgery however I was walking without crutches. I never really had a extreme pain but my pain comes from when my knee swells I lose mobility/range of motion.

I had a similar situation. Traded F4i for kfx450r. Title on F4i had $300 so that was what I put on quad title. Got something in mail that said dealership price was valued at $5500 and I needed to pay difference. Something about cash/work/trade had to be included in price. I filled out paper explaining I traded bike and if they wanted to talk dealership prices then they would have to price replacing all fairings to bring bike to dealer value. I called # on paper and explained all this and guy had me fax paper and that was last I heard of it.

Not that anyone is keeping tabs, but we too hav 1 account. Real question MichaelS is where is this checking account? What kind of interest do u get?

I put a tender on the battery and start it once maybe twice a month and let it get up to operating temp. Clean of course and chain lubed well to avoid corrosion. Ready to ride any chance I get.

That was cool stuff

If u don't have to watch it live the night of the event you can usually watch it within a day or two on a website www.dailymotion.com/cbmracing. It's what I usually do because I don't want to stay up so late. Guy usually records and posts video by Monday for sure

Thanks for the advice guys. I went ahead and ran the padding thru washer today. So they have been hand washed & ran thru the washer. That's as clean as they're gonna get. Maybe next year I'll try the car wash thing IP. Little too cold for me right now.

They've held up fine, haven't had any issues of any sort? Do you put them on normal cycle delicate cycle? Do you wash them with other things or totally separately?

So it seems like winter may actually be here for real now & I decided I would try and clean the padding in my helmet. I began by taking pads & liner out then soaking them in laundry detergent for a while. When I went to rinse them there was a nasty film on them(probably sweat/grime build up). I did the best I could to scrub/rinse them out, but thought there may be a better way of cleaning them. Any ideas, what do you do?

Not sure where you're located Connie14, but location can play a role as well. I'm in the snow belt and often that hinders riding. My coldest temp for riding is 40 degrees and I don't own any heated gear, just layer up. Anything below 40 and I stick to 4 wheels. 4 years is awesome for any location in Ohio that is for sure.

Got out today for an hour and a half to 2 hours. Can't believe it was 60 degrees. Made little over a 100 mile loop around Conneaut Lake PA and my area. Great times. Had a buddy's father in law that rode at least 1 day each month for 17 months straight, hopin to match or beat it. Got 9 straight currently. Gonna be tough to find a day in January is my worry.

I use jack stands 1 on each side of the swingarm(helps to have spools-I acquired a couple from a bike I flipped). Then I have a piece of angle iron on garage ceiling w/ holes drilled in it that I hook ratchet straps to to lift the front by the triple. Not sure about your lift idea. Will you be able to get high enough with the arm/lever?

I had a similar situation this summer. I had a 2004 Altima that just blew all of sudden. It also had over 200,000 miles and I did not want to put any money into it. I ended up posting it on craigslist and just honestly said The motor blew. I eventually got a guy to pay me $450 for it. Obviously I didn't get rich from it but it was more than a junkyard would give me.

Thats a good price. If there is nothing wrong with it I'd go for it. I had an 01 and really liked it. Never gave me a bit of trouble. Saw in pic that the stator cover was scraped up. I had the same thing with mine when I got it used. I took a random orbital sander to it(actually had to sand out the Honda imprint to get rid of all the rash), fired up the bike to get it hot, hit it with some high heat paint and it looked great. I did this just before i traded so i cannot tell you if it stood the test of time. I have also done it to a gsxr i flipped, again it looked great. I say go for it. Gets you on a good bike for cheap is my thought.

I too have experienced this but I don't get what makes ppl feel they have to police the road. I go with Tonik's advice and stay wide.

The way I look at is they pay more attention to laws and such that effect us than I ever think to, and I appreciate that. On top of this you get roadside assistance as others have mentioned and I have used the 10% discount from bike bandit a couple of times. I have no problem giving them money once a year as cheap as the membership is.

I always kill my bike with the key. Both my 600rr and F4i have had touchy kill switches. So once it has a good connection I try not to disturb it. I usually park in neutral unless I'm afraid bike will roll due to an incline. I guess maybe I should park in gear all the time, but then when I go to start it I'm all messed up. Ruins my whole Rainman routine. Math teacher = creature of habit. Neutral at light once the driver behind me stops.

Still raining here in no mans land. I'm out.

Forecast for my area looks like crap. If I get up and it looks good I'll be there, otherwise I'll sit this one out. I'm with Hellmutt and Dubie on this. I've had my share of rides in the rain and its not my favorite thing to do.
