Is it trange to have been laid off a few weeks ago, have no job, and be completely content?

Add me to the maybe list. I might try to come over for a bit. I need to get over there once this year still. If I go, I'll probably stay at the Tuskegee motel on 28.

My bike has never tried to stray. We have a pretty good relationship... I keep it pretty simple. Harbor freight wheel chock. A couple soft eye loops on each handlebar and some ratchet straps. If I'm going any distance I'll put a strap on both rear corners. Been doing it for years and never had an issue. I put just enough tension on the front to keep it from moving side to side, I don't like compressing the forks more than necessary.

The shop I help out at has removable handles. I think it's a huge positive, especially in a shop environment where there are multiple people moving around. I think for home storage use would be the same, eliminating a trip hazard.

Are you running stock coolant? Change out to engine ice. My bike always ran over 200 out there until I swapped out to engine ice. After the swap, on interstates I was back into the 185-190 and city stayed around 200. In traffic and at stoplights the fans came on.

Harley lives matter.

If you're gonna stick with traditional batteries. Check out motobatt.com they make an awesome battery, and have a 2 year warranty on all batteries I believe.

Both terminals are good and tight? Sounds like it, but always worth a check.

I'm gonna side with IP this one time. While the bandit may be inherently lean, it still should idle without use of choke. The idle knob, as stated already adjusts the idle. Do this after the bike is sufficiently warm and with the choke or fuel enrichener completely off. Most bikes should idle around 1200rpm+-. Your choke or fuel enrichener is for cold starting and should only be needed for really the first 2-3 minutes at that temp.

I'm in the go up one tooth on the front sprocket club as well.

Not to derail this thread, but same issue with the link in the gap 2016 post...sends me to a bornsinner thread from 2007, a best of craigslist link.

It's really weird, but that link sends me to an intro thread from 2006...

Find a truck or dealer, they'll replace it with the closest tool to it that is currently made. I deal with snap on every week. Mostly browse at this point, but they've stole a little bit of money from me over the years.

That's what I've done the years I've gone, usually I parked at a church about a .25 mile away on the southwest side of the track.

Nah, he doesn't want anymore bikes. May just hang onto it til next spring unless someone makes a fair offer.

I think there's probably a little flexibility left on price...no interest at all still?

Yeah, I was really surprised with how low this guy was...kind of figured it was a scam. Turned out legit, guy said he doesn't know anything about bikes and had lowsided and scared himself. There is a bit of body damage, and the right fork if you look closely is bent. But all easy and cheap fixes.

I'm using amplirider on my bike also. I've got my GPS and a passport radar detector on mine. I forget what the ear buds that I'm using are. They work awesome as an ear plugs and I get all the audio from both devices perfectly.

Came upon this a few weeks ago on craigslist. Been emailing back and forth for weeks with the guy and our schedules finally worked out...2007 Kawasaki Ninja 650r. It's a little rough around the edges, but I got it for a steal. I took all the fairings off first thing for a detailed inspection...it looks to be pretty decent mechanically. Could use a couple parts cosmetically. Hoping it'll be a good beginner bike for the girlfriend..

Anybody interested at 6500?

I'll use a garden hose with a bucket and sponge for heavy cleaning. Usually I just do a wipedown with microfiber rags and spray cleaner. As far as frequency, spray cleaner before every ride. And I do an actual garden hose wash after bigger trips so maybe three times a year. A pressure washer seems like a bit overkill for a bike, bit I also don't see it being a major problem. Bikes get wet in the rain all the time.

The wait list didn't work for shit. I kept going back and re adding myself to the wait list until I finally got both things I wanted

Sales have sucked so far. I really haven't seen anything that great. Not to mention I don't really need anything right now

Deal, as long as the deposit is refundable and you deliver!
