  • Facebook has a few features for this! You can set YOUR posts to only get shared with FRIENDS, and make this specific person an ACQUAINTENCE. Then you can set it not to show any posts from anyone in the Acquaintence group So now the person doesn't see you unfriend them, and gets no updates from you and you don't see…

  • Personally *I* always avoid destroying stock parts in case I wanna sell later on. Vance & Hines makes some VERY nice exhaust systems: http://www.vanceandhines.com/store/metric/yamaha/31505 I put a set of their slip-ons on my Gold Wing and it gives just enuff rumble to make ME happy tho I'm not a big fan of the "loud Pipes…

  • Jerry, I saw LOTS of 650's out on the road when I rode up to Alaska in 2011!!! The key would be to AVOID interstates, besides they SUCK for scenery in most places!! Stick to US Highways and stay out of the fast lane and you'll do fine! Like the Nike ads said -- JUST DO IT!! PCH certainly IS a wonderful highway:

  • From Wiki: Oil pulling or oil swishing is a folk remedy where oil is "swished"(Kavala Graha) or "held"(Snehan/Snigda Gandoosha) in the mouth. [1] [2] Practitioners of oil pulling claim it is capable of improving oral and systemic health, including a benefit in conditions such as headaches, migraines, diabetes mellitus,…

  • Speaking of Lock-Tite....anyone ever notice the difference is sizes of the containers it comes in? At the Japanese shops (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, etc) they come in tiny 0.2 oz tubes. At the HARLEY shop I went to it came in like an 8 oz container LOL :laugh:

  • Unless your profile is wrong you're near Long Beach, CA - how can there NOT be more shops nearby? Of course I'm not against a 1 or 2 hr ride to get something - I once rode from Newbury Park (ventura County) down to Costa Mesa to buy 2 floppy drives (this was back in 1979 on a 1977 CB 400F - loved riding PCH!!)

  • Whoever serviced your bike screwed up!! From what I heard from a friend, the Vstar's wonderful design requires you to remove the from exhaust pipe to get to the oil filter. That's why they sell an oil filter relocation kit for those bikes (650 and 1100). Frankly I'm SHOCKED that Yamaha designed it that way - who want's to…
