Re: Yamaha Xmax 400 (2018 model)…an epic tale, and a review…

Any pics of your XMax 400??? You brought up some good points about the pros and cons. I remember my 2017 PCX as being much easier to move around than my sport bike and KLR. But for me the seat left something to be desired and I wanted to have something I could ride for up to 80 to 100 miles round tr...

Re: Sounds after installing Dr Pulley sliders

I noticed you have a 2014. I used to have a 2017 but never heard any noises on it like that . . .. Is the belt worn at all? If you've replaced the pully sliders you must have either done it for performance or the originals were old and needed to be replaced anyways. Hence, the belt must have some we...

An Early Winter Storm on the Horizon

I was able to get a few pics taken today at some local spots near where I live. You'll probably recognize them from images I've posted before but today it's all about the sky. According to the forecast it's supposed to start as rain today, leading to heavier rain overnight into tomorrow morning (pos...

Re: Final November scooter pic...

Re: It's Raining......

Raining here now . . . 60 MPH wind gusts ramping up for later.

No riding for me today but I did get the KLR out on the road for about 40 miles yesterday.

I thought these wind driven storms would be over by now.

What a year this has been. :roll: o_O :?

Re: PCX not starting

Just guessing but see if the "kill switch" has been toggled by mistake. See if it's "off" even though it looks in the normal position.

Re: What's the best glue to reattach turn signal on 2013 mod

FWIW I tend to agree with Mel about just replacing the OEM turn signal assembly or finding a suitable aftermarket substitute set at a cheaper price and just replace all 4. Vibration or shock from things like pot holes or other road irregularities can loosen things. That said we all gotta do what we ...

Unfortunately, at least in my county, many people simply refuse to believe that Covid-19 is real. In my area I'd say for the "most part" that people generally do wear a mask when appropriate. But I still see people who are pushing their luck in certain situations not wearing them (small g...
