    Unique fueling issue?

    So, my 2012 California model with 15,000 miles has been in the shop for 3 weeks now. I want to begin by saying that the head technician at my local Yamaha shop is honest and knows his job very well. I dropped the bike off because it had an intermittent fueling issue. It seems that fuel level...

    California passes anyone?

    Anyone interested in joining me for a tour of a couple (or several) Sierra passes anytime in the next couple of weeks? I'm pretty open on dates, length, and where to start. I would like to do this by mid August. Sent from my KFOT using Tapatalk 2

    Southern Sierra ride in late May or early June?

    OK, so Tim (tomatocity ) wanted me to start a new topic so as not to hijack the Colorado Gathering thread. Anyone else interested in a two or three day ride that would start and end in Visalia and loop down to about Kernville and include several kinds of road surfaces? Sent from my...

    Pet Peeves

    Why couldn't Yamaha (or Suzuki or Honda, etc.) spend an extra dollar on an accurate clock chip? My last 3 bikes, including this one, have had crappy, inaccurate clocks. They have good injector chips, good exhaust chips, good ABS chips, but the clocks aren't worth the real estate on the dash. End...

    Where do you mount your camera?

    I'm new to this whole video thing, but I thought I would give it a try after finding a Go Pro at Costco for a price I couldn't refuse. So the camera comes with a bunch of nifty mounting plates, including a curved one for helmets, a flat one for flat surfaces, and a strap mount for none of the...

    Well, the bike's OK...

    But it doesn't like sand. Perhaps my inexperienced has something to do with it too. I dropped it while riding on a "road" in a sand wash in the Mojave desert. I wasn't fast enough to get out of the way. Now my left leg is broken in 3 places. I am hoping to see a surgeon soon, but nobody's seeing...

    Yokohl Valley Road

    Sorry! No photos for this thread. I was just having too much fun. Friday was such a GORGEOUS day in Central California that I just had to go take a short ride. Since I've only had my Raven S-10 for a week, I chose a route I was quite familiar with that I knew would test the bike well. I rode 83...

    High beam wire color

    Well, I haven't taken delivery yet, but I already have farlking questions. I want to take the garage door opener module off my Wee Strom before I sell it and put it on my new ST. It wires into the high beam switch wire (hot) and opens the garage door when you flash the high beams twice. So, I...

    New guy intro

    Hi all. I'm a returned rider since 1999. Before that I hadn't been on a bike in 25 years. Since '99 I've owned a couple of cruisers, an ST1300, a KLR, and am currently riding a Wee Strom. That's all going to change in mid-to-late January. My name (and more importantly, $$$) is on the next XT1200...
