Re: wide throttle open running issues

Sorry to be so late to the thread but where in the world are the stick coils found? I'm not experiencing any problems but I am curious to a fault :badgrin:

Re: Annual Hungry Mother Weekend (Virginia)

Sorry to ask such a lame question but here goes.

Do you guys bring a sleeping bag? Looking at the temps - I am thinking I would likely prefer just taking a sheet instead. Much less bulk too.

Re: Long range touring tire that would work for 2002 RT?

4jbaker - No offense but I, too, think you are hoping for too many miles. I'd be ecstatic to get 10,000 as I usually get around 8,000. Even if you could find a tire that would make it 15,000 miles I think it would be harder than a celebate at a cheerleading convention and wouldn't grip at all. P.S. ...

Re: Some other exhaust possibilities

Removing the pipe/can altogether and then using a chrome tip attached directly to the cat or using a heat shield that already exists on your bike and turning it backwards works well too. I was interested in trying something different on my RS until I looked underneath and saw that the cat and muffle...

Is that what came stock on a 2002 R1150R?
That's my understanding - stock normal was the medium. The Tall 'Comfort" and low seat were optional/after-purchase items.

Re: Related/Unrelated question - need the help of smart people.

Hehehe - indeed green it is.

Obviously I would do this each night at bed time and would not leave it strung each day. I emailed the park and asked if I could do this but I never got a response. No means No - everything else means yes

Re: Related/Unrelated question - need the help of smart people.

My actual best scenario is to unscrew the light bulb from the bath house and screw in a receptacle adapter with a medium base on it and then screw said light bulb back into the adapter and then string an extension cord to my nearby tent.

Related/Unrelated question - need the help of smart people.

In prep for a group ride coming up I am trying to acquire a battery (20 amp hour) to use to operate a medical device at night. The device I will be using will likely consume 75% of the battery charge over the course of the night. During the riding the next day, I will be connecting it to my motorcyc...
