I think I'm a little late, but why buy Q2's when you can get Q3's for less than $3 more? I'm loving my Q3's.

Oh wow - congratulations indeed!!! (Get as much sleep NOW while you still can!)

What's interesting about that link are all the counter-replies showing the size of the contact patches from the tire manufacturers at extreme lean angles vs. a more upright BP. A higher BP will certainly let you get off the corner faster, and flick from side to side faster, and is probably...

Good article - thanks for posting!

+1 Exactly right on. I've been riding Mulholland to work and back today. Better feel, more confidence, and able to put the bike much more easily exactly where I want in the corner than I experienced with the Q2, and nevermind the Roadsmart Gen 1. Only have 200 miles on them; not sure...

I say time to make lemonade, and have a rompin' passionate time with your S.O., as the music will provide cover. ;)

Happy early birthday, bud! Hope you had a wonderful bday ride today, wherever you went.

Ah - bummer. On the other hand, if it's on the 19th, I might be able to join you! (I'm coming down from Burbank, but I've been wanting to ride Palomar with the FZ6R crew for a long time.)

Hubba hubba! :Flash: :wav: :D

Oh wow! CONGRATS!!! How does she SOUND? Anything like the Triumph's triple? (...err... belay that question... you're probably gonna talk to that Marthy guy and get one of those custom Marthy exhausts or something...) :facepalm: :D

First issue is totally normal. Every motorcycle does this, regardless of brand or model. You have two methods to remediate the situation; both work for me (your preference): Roll the bike forward a few inches, or back a few inches, until you hear a "thunk" which indicates that the gears...

Just put Q3 front and rear the other day. Breaking them in now to the 100-150. Will go for a spirited canyon ride this Saturday, and will report back. For reference, I've ridden the previous tires: - stock Roadsmart (1, not 2) for ~4600 - Q2 for ~2300. Changed tires because I...

Ah... gotcha. No simply / easy / direct way to solve this problem. LOL!

Totally agree with keeping it close to battery for same-space service. I was thinking about a distribution panel also! Bummer to hear about the size of the panel. If you could, would you do it all over again with a larger distribution panel? And where would such a panel fit without...

For testing of wiring routes before I finalize and hide all the wires, I currently have it ground to neg post on battery, and don't see any light flicker, so seems like all is good. Thank you both! (My pos & neg posts are gonna be stacked sky high with 3 leads for aux LED, +1 for HID, +1...
