    Bike Won't Start

    I was putting the original fender back on because I bought a Shad top case. I accidentally left a wire exposed for the license plate light. When I turned the key to check the blinkers I heard a pop. I blew the signal fuse. I replaced it. Now the headlight doesn't come on and the bike...

    High Beam Won't Turn Off

    Today on my ride the high beam light came on. I didn't turn them on. Now I can't get it to turn off. The only thing I can think of is that my low beams are out and it automatically defaults to the high beam. I have 22,500 miles, so I guess my bulb could be out. How can I tell if my low beam is...

    Nice Day in NJ

    It was sunny and 55 degrees in Northern NJ today. Went on a 4 hour ride up through Harriman to Greenwood Lake and Monroe, NY with my buddy and his Speed Triple 1050.

    Rear Turn Signals

I noticed my front turn signals are lit up when not signaling. My back ones don't light up but do blink when I put the turn signals on. Is this normal or did...

    My Speedometer

    So let's say, hypothetically, my bike was in 3rd gear turning 11k on the tach and reading 108mph. If my buddy was in front of me doing about the same speed on a Speed Triple 1050. His speedo read 90 or so. My speedo would be way off, right? My bike has no engine, exhaust or performance mods.

    FZ8 Insurance Going Up

    Called Rider's Insurance just now to get a quote for my bike I am picking up this Saturday. Got a quote and hung up. A few minutes later she called back and told me the FZ8 is going to be reclassified soon as a sport bike and that the premium will probably double or more when I renew. I'm not happy.
