    roasting right thigh

    this would explain the location on my thigh that was so ridiculously hot. i'll take a look at it. interestingly, on the ride back the other way (same route in reverse), it got warm but not nearly as bad, and the ambient temp was a few degrees hotter. also, i read somewhere that the stock ECM...

    roasting right thigh

    yes, i did a search. in stop and go traffic, my right thigh was simply roasting, as in it was very uncomfortable (probably just short of a 1st degree burn). why only the right side? it seems that the left side communicates with the right side very freely, so heat on the right side being so...

    Problem with Dashboard resetting

    update. i pulled the battery. there was some corrosion on the positive terminal. not a lot, but visible. the multimeter said 12.35 volts, which is not very good. i shined up the terminals and put the charger on it. i am crossing my fingers. d.

    Problem with Dashboard resetting

    Still no fire in front jug... About done with it

    sounds like you may have a stuck injector (long storage = bad fuel). there is a local shop, here, that will rebuild injectors for about $15 each. it seems you are in PA, so i imagine there are shops that do the same thing there. test as above and see if the plug is dry. if so, a stuck...

    XB9R riding position, rearset question

    i registered the bike today and put the new foot pegs on. yep, that extra inch makes a huge difference. (huh huh, uh, huh huh) this bike is deceptively fast. i was running it in first gear and i swear i saw 60MPH on the speedometer and it got there very fast. i cannot wait to get to know...

    XB9R riding position, rearset question

    someone told me that these bikes have a brass worm gear at the oil pump that likes to grenade. i swear i saw documentation that this issue was sorted by 2007. any input? it is amazing how many opinions and straight up myths are out there about these bikes.... the same dude also told me it...

    XB9R riding position, rearset question

    i would swear that i saw the manuals for download somewhere around here... edit: found it. :) so, what oil are you guys running? i see that the recommended oil is HD. i was thinking i'd run rotella T 15/40.

    XB9R riding position, rearset question

    my first impression is that the seat and position are more comfortable than my ducati 900SS. i think an inch more leg room is going to make a difference. i also need to get the suspension dialed.
