Happy to report I picked mine up from the dealer yesterday morning. Not much opportunity to ride until next week. First impressions are positive. Looking forward to putting some miles on.

I tried it several times. Left button, right botton .... Nada. But still could be me. I'll ask the dealer next week. R
If you can switch between Km and Mph,, using the left button, bring up Odom. Not trip odom. Then hold the left button for two seconds. Should switch.
This is from the UK owners manual. Oh yea, key has to be on..

Yep. Did all as suggested above. Doesn't work. I'll try it with the motor actually on in a bit. Doubtful R

Rem,

Nick was in Rancheria, YT at 1:24pm. Maybe you lucky gentlemen could line up your XTs on the road near the airport and wave. He was checking in on Spot before 4am this morning so he's got to be pushing himself very hard.

Does the road near Destruction Bay still suck? Every time I've been through there during the summer it is always "under construction."

My dealer confirmed today the bike will be ready no Thursday maybe Wednesday. I still can't decide between the Jesse or the Micatech bags. Are you happy with yours rem? They Shure look great...

Yes, I am. The Micatech's are great as far as I can tell. Solid, good fit, everything supplied for installation


Also, for what it's worth and as I can recall, the Jesse's are 1.5 mm and the MT's are 2.0 mm.


Anyway, they work for me. Aesthetically, the Jesse's look better due to the carved out part for the exhaust, but you pay for that. Good luck with it. R

Pretty quiet over here. What do we have, 4 posts from Canadians? anyway picked up the bike yesterday afternoon did about 200 km. Left this morning about 7 and went through Algonquin Park. It's about 3 hrs North of where I live, 650 km round trip. The only complaint I have is the seat. Don’t know what it is, every bike I have owned I have problems with the seats (it must be the 4 1/2 ass cheeks I have). All the reviews are right; it truly is a great bike.
