You're lucky, that's about exactly what I did on my R6 only I didn't realize that it was dead and blammo, hello guard rail. Additional info, 4 new plugs and 2 were normal, 2 were lean. Dunno which 2 though, they were returned to me without a word because service was closed. Talking with a few...

I tried searching on this, but my Google Fu might just be nonexistent, as I couldn't find any other reports of quite this issue... I have been having trouble with my '14 ES stalling on clutch squeeze. I will be riding at moderate speed, squeeze the clutch and start downshifting/braking for...

Yup, they are subject to a lot of heat every time you ride, there isn't really much to be done for it. Even if you coat them with moly or something when new, but maybe *maybe* not if you routinely disassemble, clean/moly and reassemble - but really that's way too much effort unless you're...

I've never noticed a difference, because the only time it has ever really gotten a workout for me was in Death Valley. I've had a few times hitting slick stripes that i felt it react (and probably saved me) and once i took off on a road that had a collection of tiny pebbles that i hadn't seen...

+1 on the Mitas E07's - I have the dakar version front and rear, and I absolutely adore them. I have something like 3-4k on them right now and the rear still has at least 50% wear left... the front still looks pretty new. I have used them on pavement, dirt, gravel, sand, fist sized rocks with...

So I'm guessing nobody else has luck with just turning the key off, waiting a short moment and trying again? I just kinda figured the ECU was angry for some reason and needed a power cycle. I should say I've never shut off the bike with the sidestand, except by accident leaving it down and...

*warning* THREAD RESURRECTION! *warning* THREAD RESURRECTION! *warning* Yes, I'm fully aware. I just wanted to toss out there that a number of times my tenner has failed to start while warm and sunny. I let the ECU go through its self check, and hit the starter between the check finishing and...

I run Mitas E07 Dakar http://www.mx1canada.com/mitas-e07-dakar-rear-tire-150-70-17-tubeless.html for the rear, easy navigation to the other sizes. Anyway, there's a spot just off of upright that takes a little getting used to but I feel more confident in hard leans with these tires than I did...

Re: Black, Blue, Silver, White or Grey Wanted ES in blue - does not exist (or if it does now, it didn't when I bought it) - got ES in grey. If anyone wants to swap parts and lives in the northeast, let me know.

Gear indicator (when the clutch lever isn't squeezed) - check. Buttons to control the information display, as well as adjust suspension settings and heated grip - check. All added for the 2014 ES and so much more. Gas mileage... I don't know what to tell, you, mine is great. Agreed on the...

Do you have it in sport mode? If so, switch to touring and that will go away. Switch is right below the starter. You could also do a reflash, but why spend money on a fix you can do with a simple push of a button? If you have it in touring mode... well I dunno - I don't have that problem...

I have Rumbux bash guard on mine, and there's about half an inch of clearance for my stock pipes. Not sure how the Arrow header measures, but I can take other measurements with a little direction on what needs to be measured. If you are interested, of course. There is more info on this kit at...

Just moved (back) to PA. I was raised in Chester County, and I now live/work in Franklin County. Chambersburg to be more accurate. I bought my '14 Tenner ES new in CA as soon as I could get a dealer to actually bring one in, and it's dressed for battle. Rumbux full cage and Mitas E-07 Dakar...

OH! I forgot about the 20s - I have one installed on my XD-4 (without spacers) and on my Fox V2 (with spacers). I have the base installed on each, and I transfer the unit between them as needed, though I don't use the V2 now that I have the XD-4 - I was using it when I had the Profile and...

I thought that oil was bad to use on the plastics? Just as an add-on I have Crossfire 2's and they squeak as well, despite silicone drops, silicone spray, and graphite powder. The silicone seems to be good until you get dust in there, and when you pretty much only wear them off-road... Well...
