My dealer gave me 20% off on the extra's and this is most likely the last new bike I buy. So I thought I would spend some of the kids inheritance. I also splurged for a 4 years extended warranty because of the electronics. Dealer also gave me a excellent price. That will bring me into my 80's
Hey Dave, Cottageville is only 40 to 45 miles south of me. If coming north on I-77 you would exit at Ripley.
Chuck, could you let me know what you paid for the extended warrantee? I paid $2500 for 7 years/70,000 on my new Subaru Crosstrek.
My dealer gave me a deal on the ext. warrantee. 4 years around 550 dollars. Normal over 900 bucks with out roadside assistance. Which I get thru AMA for any of my bikes.
AMA has the best deal going for roadside assistance, which includes all your vehicles except RV's.
My road side assistance with Safeco is $12 a year per bike, but Frosty tried to use his a few miles from a small town and 40 from a much larger city (Bozeman) and no one came.
I would absolutely have sprung for that too. Too many computers and gee gaws.
I pulled a muscle in my calf wrestling it up on the stand. On the mend I faced forward ( not towards the bike, towards the direction of travel), slipped my hand into the rail like I was reaching for a holstered gun and stepped down with my right heel while pulling up and back on the rail. It came up so easy.
Well, not dissing your technique but I have never seen that done. I am very weak and light (153 lbs) and the Concourse with out bags was so much of a challange I carried a small 3/4 in thick board for awhile to roll the rear tire up on. The FJR, I take the bags off, but the loaded bike with bags, canyon cages, sliders, and rear roll bars and luggage rack is pushing 700 lbs. But if I wear boots, stand close, it goes up pretty easily. The VFR and Vstrom are a piece of cake.
I dont know what I am talking about but there is a new system of using the digital world to turn various functions on and off. Does the NT1100 use this? or is it dumb wiring?

I am sure it uses something similar as most cars do now also. I believe the Honda auto engineers hacked into the Moto engineers computers and change some of the designs before they went to manufacturing. The Japanese version of our April Fools jokes.I dont know what I am talking about but there is a new system of using the digital world to turn various functions on and off.

New Technology for Smart Wiring Systems - Wiring Harness News
New Technology for Smart Wiring Systems It’s unlikely wiring systems will ever be totally displaced by technology.Whether it’s automotive, specialty transportation, military, or aerospace, innovation tends to enhance the critical nature of wiring systems. But because of weight and cost...
Here is the video on how to do the job on an African Twin. I wonder how many AT owners find the shims out of tolerance?
At first glance, it appears to be similar to the current CAN bus sytems which are commonly used in new automotive applications. BMW was the first to use it in motorcycle applications and it wreaked havoc with the aftermarket accessory business at first. AFAIK, BMW is still the sole manufacturer to use a CAN bus system in motorcycles.I am sure it uses something similar as most cars do now also.
