I have not checked but an aftermarket rotor might be less expensive or the same.

Did someone suggest using small zip ties to tie the spokes where they cross so that if one should break it would not flail around?

This may not be the article I was thinking of or I may be remembering it wrong, but this one is interesting http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/oiltest1.htm

So, my credit union much to my surprise has a very high interest rate for a motorcycle loan between 7 & 8%. My credit score is about 800 so I was expecting something much lower. I applied thru light stream (Suntrust Bank) and got a quote of I think it was around 5% for 60 months. Still sounds...

Really nice stuff! So, for the dash panel, I thought a carbon blank that is 6x6 or whatever would be available? Also, remember to wear a dust mask when cutting CF, very nasty stuff.

My best pal recently bought a new FZ9 for about $7k. I have been shopping for and talking up a Super Ten. He asked me the price and I said about $13,600 before Tax and License. His response was, how is the Super Ten worth twice as much as my FZ9. So, I says, well, it has shaft drive, traction...

Very nice, congrats!

Also, I think I read that the ES actually has different suspension in addition to be electrically adjustable, can anyone confirm?

What he said, it is an integrated electronic component.

So, I am shopping hard for a Super Ten and can't decide if the ES is worth the money to me or not. How much will I actually use the ES and or heated grips?

Of course taxes vary from place to place. So the price with freight and setup, before taxes and license would be the one to consider.

Yeah, that's too far, the distance will offset the savings, at least I suspect it will. What you might do is to get a quote from Romney, that is a purchase order and use that to leverage your local dealer or a dealer nearer to you. I think these bikes are brought into the country thru the Port...

I dunno about shipping, they will meet or deliver within a reasonable distance for a price. That is something you have to ask them. I talked to John, really nice guy. He said they had tried delivery services in the past and were disappointed with them so they did that them selves now. Call them...

I seem to remember that Motorcycle Consumer News did a test years ago and Mobil 1 was the only oil to move to heat where the others moved away. MCN was impressed with it.

"I just got offered $15500 otd for a 14 ES. Includes tax and title." Sounds high, Locally I have a price on a 14 ES, $13,600 plus tax = $14,400 plus lic. Depending on where you are in CA I see several deals there from cycle trader.

I like it!

Wow, my last three bikes I put 30k miles on each of them, changing the oil and filter every 3k miles that is 30 K&N filters. I have never had a problem with them. I wonder if that is a fluke or has something changed at K&N. Did they offshore or did QC change? So, what is Yamaha's recommended...

I am finding that too, when I call they do not have the bike from cycletreader. They always say, 'well the internet add had not been updated' which I think is BS. It is bait and switch.
