Re: Dirt cheap air filter cleaning
The biggest complaint I see from people trying to remove the filter is that they have trouble pulling the starter solenoid out of the way. A quick squirt of WD-40 or even window cleaner on the bracket allows the rubber mount to slide off easily. Just don't be careless when moving the solenoid out o...

Re: Why does trailering kill my battery
Afirmitive, only after it has ben trailered. 3 times in a row now, several months apart. If it were a more common wet plate style battery I could imagine a vibration problem where the plates were heavily sulfated. As I understand it, the AGM type are not nearly as suseptable to vibration related fai...

Re: Dirt cheap air filter cleaning
Has anyone come up with a work-around for accessing the air filter, it needs to be easier to remove. My '07 is quite complicated to get to. And, I see some stuff at undue risk to premature wear because they need disassembly at every access to the air filter.

Why does trailering kill my battery

New on board from NE Texas
I own a '07EN500c LTD. My wife rides it every day. I am the wrench for the bike. I added hard saddle bags and a tour pack to it as a gift at Christmas in Dec '11. We bought it second hand with 11k miles. It is in good running order and safe, all and all a good score. I've added new rubber and front ...
