Cat, somehow, inadvertently, in the very tail end you put an exclamation point on my primary argument, for which I am eternally grateful. You...
The companies processing rebate are all intermediaries. They don't care about you or the vendor they serve. I agree with the spirit of what gt750...
Cat, great write up. I've enjoyed our IM correspondences a lot, and you're able to talk the talk extremely well. You were very concise and clearly...
Cadbury, with the bikes you have owned, have you ever seen thermostats get stuck in the closed position?
Do you perceive that it may be motion related? Aka the force of coming to a stop? That can point to a safety switch such as the bank angle sensor...
Pitfox, good luck with the arbitration. Maybe I missed it below, but did they share the report with you? Boy would I like to see an independent...
I like what thx1138 said. The pressure must overcome flat spots from the tires sitting for years. Just to see, I would inflate both tires to their...

Great stuff Mohawk! I know people may fall on one side or other of the argument, but we can all realize that "more power" has no end game. No...
I read that recently! The mid-corner corrections is very very helpful stuff, on a downright scary issue.

I appreciate the body weight shifting for braking. This works great. Out of sheer utter fear of sliding the rear during aggressive braking I do...
Great bike! Welcome to the forum.
