    Wierd idle issues

    All, Thanks for the welcome back. I'll poke around to see if I can take a look around to see how I can see what the TPS is doing or what it'd take to replace it. I'm also going to try the Seafoam to see if it just needs to be cleaned out first. Path of least resistance and all that. Oh and...

    Identifying idiot lights

    I fiddled with it some more... discovered both the pos and neg battery cables to be loose (accidental discovery). After snugging those up, the indicator did in fact reset and now it's not lit up. I wonder if it could have been something that easy..

    Identifying idiot lights

    Thanks, Watcher. I'm thinking it may be the check engine light. Of course that means I need to get it plugged into a diagnostics set-up to see what the code is. Ugh...

    Identifying idiot lights

    I have a light illuminated on my 2008 Rocket III standard. It looks like a little picture of an engine. I thought it was for coolant but that appears to be topped off just fine. Oil is fine too. Does anyone know what that light is supposed to be telling me? Karl PS - It's been at least a few...

    Locating the VSS

    It's ind of a suprise. So for now this is what I'll say... I have a motorcycle related blog site (www.twistthegrip.com) and am also a member of a handful of discussion groups (motorcycle related). I was approached by a guy who is developing a tail light that works like a brake light with one...

    Locating the VSS

    I'm getting ready to install a safety tail light for the Rock and I'm told the most difficultpart will be locating the VSS. Does anyone know what the VSS is and how to find it? Karl PS... I haven't been here for quite a while. Busy busy busy....

    Rear end problems... HELP!!!

    Question: After it was done did you notice any difference in the feel of the bike? Not that I'm thinking about this, I realize that on acceleration it just didn't seem to grab as well as I thought it should. I wrote it off as my own quirk but now I;m wondering. So if it really wasn't...
