I am getting really confused now, Electrical !!! On Youtube, Hall Effect Sensor should be changed around 70,000 miles before it is gone bad. It is common that wirings on sensors dried/cracked and short out. My bike is at 61000 miles now; Is it a warning (sputtering) to change HFS? Fuel Clogged, plug...

hall effect sensor? Very Interesting!! Will Hall Sensor acted the same as bad Sidestand switch, bad coil when leaned left/right? It is also sputtering when rode in hot weather. After bike is cool down, coffee break, it will run good. I bypassed Sidestand switch, just to test the theory and will keep...

Switch was so old; as I tried to pull, It is simply fall apart on me.
If this bypassing solved the issue of sputtering, I will leave it bypass and do not bother getting a new switch. Save me $94

I will let you know after 2000 kms trip this weekend.

As I mentioned, Sputtering occurred when bike leaned left or right and when it got hot or rode the hot weather. After I watched several youtube videos on this issue, I will try anything to fix it and any possible causes. On this video, this gentleman mentioned Bad Side Stand Switch that caused his b...

Sputtering is back again. First 40 kms, bike ran great until I leaned the hard left and accelerated. Here Sputtering!! After I gunned it, it disappeared with occasionally reoccurring, just to remind me that I will not go away for good. Several things that I noticed> 1. After short/long breaks, bike ...

After two bottles of gas dryer with four full tanks, a fuel filter (due for change), a set spark plug wires and plugs, No More Sputtering. I rode in the rain, leaned left/right and hard accelerated from stop position. No Sputtering. Possible Bad Gas!!

Occasionally, bike sputtered on hard acceleration, from stop; it ran well after. I also noticed; bike will sputter after hard lean to the left side or right side.When bike returned to straight position and accelerate, it will sputter as it sucked some dirt or water. Afterthat bike will run great aga...

Odyssey batteries , the PC680 all the way. Bought original battery from BMW, lasted 2.5 years, worked weak. [-X Odyssey has lasted 3 years now, works like a charm, always STRONG no matter what. I just don't see it giving off any time soon. Works as good as did on its very first day. :D You are very...

Would like to find an inexpensive way to bluetooth my iphone for music and GPS without buying a new helmet, do not want to waste money on junk either. Thanks for any input., Also anybody's experience good or bad or find the systems to be unsafe or annoying. Mike Got me a SMH10 Bluetooth over two ye...

Are you guys still here?..................or am I the only one left..........?

Mr. Towerworker,

I am still here, sold my house in Japan and moved back to Montana (back in the cave).

Merry XMas and Happy New Year.

No Kidding Mr. Towerworker, it is getting real cold in Northern Japan too. I have until November 15th or 1st Snow to ride my bike. Working for Uncle Sam, I must follow the rules.

How are doing, sir?

Here is my 2002 that I bought 3 years ago: I put almost 50000 km on it. Previous owner put a fairing, carbon fiber oil cooler covers, I put on a Pelican case as top box. Fine machine.

I decided to take 5 days off from work and head to Hokkaido to visit these places. Hokkaido has reputation to have wide roads, few cars, nice scenery and good foods. Here are some of the pictures. http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj300/gaijin_photos/ShiretokoParkingSpot.jpg Shiretoko, World Herita...

Improvement with Brake Lights.

"Brake Only LED" because of the law, not to have any flashy stuff.

[quote="Soliton"]So I am presuming by the fact that you aren't complaining about them that you are happy with the LEDs? No, I am not complaining. I purchased these lights to fill the gap of low beam, help me see better at night. Depend of weather/road conditions, I will leave amber covers ...

+ 1 on the Alaska Sheepskin pad. I use mine on two bikes, makes a huge difference in my experience-the difference between being able to ride all day or not. Alaska Pad is expensive but it is cheaper than custom seat and Custom seat is not a guaranty. Bead cover seat, ??? I used to have in my car. N...

Looks like a Fallert fairing. I don't think you can buy in the U.S. though. They are nice looking. You could be right, Fallert Fairing. My bike was made with Japanese specifications. If you purchased German product, all else must be German too, Japanese thinking. I bought this bike, USED, with Fair...

Anyone have any experience with sheepskin covers. Own a tall stock seat and butt does get sore after an hour or so of riding. Sheepskin seems like an inexpensive alternative to after market seat. http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj300/gaijin_photos/APieceofSheepskinMounted3.jpg Cut from a Sheepsk...

Looks very nice. What brand of fairing is that? Can you post a pic farther back ?..I'd really like to see it. Ron Don't know the brand of fairing, Will check with my dealer. http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj300/gaijin_photos/DuallyReposition.jpg Very impressive lights and not too expensive. Whe...

Then yesterday at work the bike would not turn over (but had just charged over night), Something to check if you have not. It happened to me too. After I completed Motorcycle Safety Foundation Course, Dark and it is time to go home. BIKE (Harley) NOT START, Push it, No Luck. I got so angry: I decid...
