    Seat latch issue

    I had the problem shown in the previous post where the cable had come out of its holder. I managed to get my fingers under the seat and snagged the cable and pulled. The seat released.

    Corbin Products

    I bought a Memphis Shades Spoiler windshield for 96-13 FHTC / FLHTC / FLHTCU / FLHTK / FLHX / FL TRIKES. I got a dark smoke 9.5" tall. It has lifted the air up pretty well. Corbin does mention what HD model shields will fit their fairing, in their literature.

    I'm not aware of any dash board being available. I think you would have to relocate the ignition switch if you were to block off the void area. I've seen some good pictures on this forum, which helped me decide to get one. I used to know how to look at picture galleries on here, but that was...

    Corbin Products

    I ordered a seat from them in October and got it in about 3 weeks. I ordered a fairing in October also, it arrived January 31. My only complaint is that I called in December and they told me it should ship in about a week, I called again a couple of weeks ago and they told me the same thing...

    Oil change end season vs start season?

    Sulphur compounds are deposited in engine oil due to the combustion process. There is always some leakage from the cylinder around the rings. When these compounds mix with water that has condensed in your oil it creates an acid. If you've ever seen black stains on bearing surfaces you've seen...

    general common breakdown/breakin issues question

    no problems, almost 2005 24kmiles, one front tube oil seal leak. I did have clutch shift problems, but found there was no bushing in my lever. 10mm hole, 3mm pin. Made it hard to keep the clutch adjustment correct. I put a bushing in and that cleared right up. I had to wonder about that as...

    R3 Speedometer is off

    tuneboy You need to reset your wheel speed constant to correct your speedometer. If you change tire sizes you may need to do it also. I went to a car tire and had to reset mine, I use a tuneboy. I think I just did a ratio of the tire circumference to the wheel speed constant. standard...

    Question about 05 Rocket TuneECU and D&D pipes

    same setup I'm running an 05 with D&D pipes, cat removed and running the 20226 tune. Runs good, and there is some decel popping but on those days that it's bad I just pull in the clutch. On the edit situation. Apparently the speedometer set is low by 6% I believe, so your not traveling...

    Liscense plate redo!!!!!!!!! higher mounted

    led lights You can put a load resistor 6ohm 25 watt across the signal light and the original flasher unit will work normally. The resistor mimics the light bulb load so the flasher blinks at a normal rate. you need the large wattage rating so it can handle, dissipate, the heat that is...

    speed limiter

    I'm running vr rated tire and see the speed limiter set at 135. No problem to change but I'd like to know how the speed is limited. Is the ecu reading the speed input signal and cutting back the secondaries? Are there any other(motorcycle equipment) considerations than tire quality to limit...

    same old question, what tune.

    Thank Ya'll. i'll fix up a tune and see how it goes.

    same old question, what tune.

    I appreciate it. I did the speed correction and left everything else alone. Secondaries are at 100%. When I pull the plugs I'll decide if I need to run a leaner mix. I had noticed some soot at the tailpipes with stock pipes and I'd have to take it out to empty road to clear it out on...

    same old question, what tune.

    No when I asked it to retrieve the ECU number it came back with 020050. I was wondering if I should load 20222 since I'm running a stock air filter.

    same old question, what tune.

    Yeah I got a tuneboy. Had some doubts about my dealer, decided I needed to be able to tend to the bike without his assistance. Nearest dealer after him is over 250 miles away. I got the tuneboy just in case I needed to have a look at diagnostics. Got it in December. I travel a lot so I just...

    changing rear tire r3t

    I gotta agree. Let a dealer do it. I tried in Dec. ended up cutting the bead to get the old one off. I started the new one, darkside. I finally went to a tire shop, owned by a friend, and let him mount it. There is very little relief in the rim, it makes it really difficult to work with...

    same old question, what tune.

    I just hooked up to have a look at which tune was loaded on my 05 R3. I bought the bike with 800 miles on it from the dealer, a demo. I know when I rode it the exhaust was not stock, and I had them put the stock pipes back on. (I'm old and I like to be quiet) I'm now running D&D slip ons, cat...

    Frustrated

    just from reading the literature I know there is a specific set of steps to take when the download fails. Can't recall them without going and reading through the material. It's some sort of recovery process.
