    Mecum 2023 Las Vegas

    A highly anticipated event here has been underway a day or so. This year there were two Rocket 3s put up for bid. I am surprised at the prices they pulled in. I guess that is because of the lack of general knowledge of these bikes. Other than that though is is most assuredly a great place to...

    Finding Motor Oil

    If you haven't looked lately finding motor oil in becoming much like finding Waldo. I went to 4 different stores (all of them) in my little burg and found zero bottles of Mobil 1, Valvoline and Motul for an upcoming oil change. It wasn't just the R4T oil that wasn't there but a lot of other...

    A shout out to Racebikebitz

    I am doing a radiator hose change because I can. Needed Samco hoses, they are not all that common I came to find out. Stumbled across Racebikebitz in my search. Ordered on Saturday, they shipped (from the UK) on Monday and showed up at my door (Nevada, USA) today. The shipping was FREE, they...

    11/10 - 11/23 Noco Battery Tender @ Woot

This is an exclusive...

    The annual migration (like lemmings) has started

    Coming home today I noticed a ton of traffic that was comprised of motorcycles, toy haulers and pickups pulling trailers. Then I realized it is almost time for the Annual Black Hills Motorcycle Rally (or for those who don't know that, Sturgis). So all weekend they will be headed east and then...

    Uh-Oh, could it be the starter?

    Recently when starting my bike it will go chug-chug-chug-nothing. I wait about 2 seconds and it goes chug-chug-chug- vroom. The battery is fresh this year. I keep it on a trickle charger when parked. The only thing electrical I have done this year is to install the Suzuki R/R. Even when it does...

    Just some new gloves

    I had to venture down to the dealer today to pick up some parts and found some gloves that I really liked but not so much the price. Good thing I know the people there, I was able to get a 35% discount on the gloves, which almost made them affordable, so I got them. These don't come around very...

    ISCV and TPS reset?

    So, it has been down this long and is apart. I am doing the throttle bodies tonight. I would also like to do the ISCV and TPS checks on it at this time. There are tons of threads on how to sort of do that but not a real clear winner that does it step by step. I will be using Tune ECU on a laptop...

    How screwed am I?

    Trying to be a owner who actually does maintenance I figured 6 years was time to change the fuel filter. It actually went well until reassembly. My torque wrench decided it wanted to fail . Torque was set right I never got a click. So I snapped a couple studs. So how bad did I screw the pooch...

    It's my turn, Battery finally gave it up

    I should be kicking myself in the ass. I knew the battery was going bad, if I rode every day it would start, but let it sit a few days and nothing but a click when hitting the happy button and would need topped off with the charger. So it sat since last Friday and after getting all geared up and...

    I Learned Something New Today (or did I?)

    In a discussion on a site that shall remain nameless a guy with a new R3 (160 miles) is having trouble getting it into 1st. I suggested he adjust his clutch to the recommended 2-3 mm because I would almost guarantee it is not there. Well that was my suggestion. Someone else said the following...

    Winter Plans

    Some people make plans to head to a warmer climate during the winter but I don't have that luxury (yet). I just turned over 22K and 5 years on the R3T so I figured I would do a 5 year maintenance on it. So far I plan on the following; New Samco Hoses New Fuel Filter Install Suzuki voltage...

    Wandering Idle when cold

    Recently I have started having issues with my idle when the engine is first started. It will hunt for 30-60 seconds with the variance between the high and low decreasing as time goes on. When I first start it I will sometimes go as high as 1500rpm and then settle down to about 850, then up again...
