The October 1st Update has been posted.

The link to Popular Mods that is inside my signature area is done with forum-code typed inside the 'Signature' block while in the 'edit my profile' screen and it reads as follows except without any spaces of course:

I think you are right Dr. Tom, these sport bike tires roll and lean really quick except when they get a little low on air they act like a regular cruiser tire lol. I bet lots of guys who don't find there way here are getting robbed by the stealer. There are some good and honest dealers, of course, but most are simply in it for the money and will skimp on training and wages and that's a problem at high speeds. At least we folks here are ok with our oil knowledge and can pass it along to new members even if at first they say 'what - do you think I never changed oil before?' if you know what I mean.

tomba:

ok...mike ...i beleive i can tell from the handle bar weight when the front tyre is low on air......tried a warrior ...stock the other day and noticed that the handle bar near pushed itself into my hand as i got to the end of bar movement ..turn left it pushed suddenly into my grip and visa versa....felt distinctly odd like it was falling in slightly.....air was 19 to 20 lbs!!...put air in to 36...and it was a smooth as silk on the turns, no pressure as the bars turned in...just a minor thought...but we are getting low on new finds.... lol

there's still many warrior riders out there [not on our 4m..never knew it existed...] that don't know the new procedure for checking the oil...and they are overfilling big time

welcome - bbdvs230 [catchy] - please tel us you didn't 'sign up'...hunt down the popular mods and repairs....just to post that line!!?

someone might think you was placing an advert?...and if ya anything to do with this new product....for me ..that wasn't the best way to get guys attention

I personally respect and admire the records kept here...so maybe ask the mods if you can move it and put it in the vendors section....

i'm being polite

Dr. Tom, yes I know what you mean sometimes I catch my thumb wandering up there like its bored, and pressing the signal-off button while I'm riding. Its such an unconscious motion after years of riding its sorta funny! Same as you, on bikes that have it stock I'm a great fan of keeping the auto-cancel function I think its one of the best safety devices out there. But I still bump the off-button like you.

Yes I saw Timo's post, and a bushel of others these last months. Its clear that bikes in the EU have some different equipment and it would be great if members riding these bikes would chime-in and maybe we can figure it out. One of my big drivers on this topic is the possibility we will discover a factory mod done to meet a specific countries laws that will also give us insight into some of the undocumented systems and features. Who knows what we can learn just by asking around!

tomba:

Mike by the way - noticed Timo mentions auto cancel on european bike indicators - my '03 official bike does yes...does auto cancel!..at least i've been allowed to keep something useful...although after 40 years riding i do tend not to forget to cancel them lol
