In case anyone was wondering, I took the XX6 back to the dealer and exchanged it for another one. Put the batteries in while I was still at the dealership and it works just fine, original one musta been a faulty unit. To Xena's credit, once they emailed me back they were willing to mail out an...

Entered. Good luck.

Doncan, I found that I really had to get up on the tank to keep the front end down at high speeds. Redline in 6th was 212km/h for me.

Cracked. com is teh funnay! Another thing I learned that no one told me, especially on long distance rides: when you stop and eat, dont eat onions. When you burp in a closed full face helmet you get to re eat those onions for an unbelievably long time. Also, when on that same long distance...

:bow: That's unreal.

I was too throttle happy last night riding back from Vancouver. Apparently our speedometers ARE accurate. Radar had me at 132 km/h in a 100 zone passing a tractor trailer, was spot on with my speedometer. LEO threatened to impound my bike for 'street racing'.... I was apologetic and he just...

About 2800km now. :) Just got the bike and license this spring. The rainiest summer in recent memory. It seems the new rider gets blamed for that!!

New rider here, currently on my first real road trip. 687 km (427 mi) in one day. 7 hours. I was pretty saddle sore. Had beautiful weather and rode through some canyons. Great ride, minimal construction delays :steve:. Props to you for 11 hours!

Awesome! Hahaha, not sure how or if to show my kids. They'll want smoke bubbles to appear when they blow bubbles!

Sorry for the chage of topic, but I didn't want to start a new thread. I just bought a Xena XX6 and after installing the battery, I cannot disarm the damn thing. I have already emailed Xena, but while waiting for a reply, I thought I'd try here. I have made sure the alarm module is locked in...

Thanks, I hadn't thought to look at craigslist.

I will be in Burnaby this week, is there anywhere within a few hours I can purchase a disc lock alarm locally? I was hoping for a Xena, but won't be too picky.

On a new vehicle 1L per 5000km is considered 'acceptable'. (1 qt per 3000mi). As for a bike, I am unable to give an official response. Sorry. My own bike has not used any oil in the 2000 km I have ridden.

I too suffer from Carpal Tunnel, in trying to avoid surgery my Doctor had me wear wrist braces while sleeping because I was waking up with a pain that felt like shin splints in my forearms. He also prescribed vitamin b6 and b12. After a few months of taking the vitamins I was able to sleep...

Raybob, I had to google C2H5OH. Well played sir. Break fluid indeed. Dart, can you clarify or elaborate on your statement re: varying boiling points in cheap vs. expensive fluids? I believe that the DOT rating refers at least in part to the boiling point of the fluid in question already. You...
