Try State Farm...I am still shocked at how little full coverage can be on this bike. | ||

Fun, isn't it? Insurance wise, check 'em all. Gieco, progressive, state farm etc. Or do what I used to do when I was younger, have the loan put in you and one of your parents name, then they can put it on their insurance at likely a lower rate. | ||

Go thru sentry.com - Dairyland insurance, Progressive quoted me $1500 a year sentry.com which sells Dairyland insurance for motorcycles came in at $275 | ||

This is funny! gieco wouldnt even insure me! this is just funny. my truck is insured with them too. I dont need the 1125. i do have a x1 motor thats 99" but with rs 643's and higher compression its a brute. i just saw the 1125 as a refind bike that could answer my need for power. probably be more reliable then the 99". Oh well im goin to keep searching for insurance. thanks guys for ur help. i only know of insurance companies in maine. yesterday when i was test driving it i had to follow a employee, so i couldnt do any wheelies(their instruction). but they tell u to slow down behind them and get on to it to see how she goes. so i slowed down i was 3rd at like 4 grand when i opened it up. it popped the front up about 3-4 feet like nothin. so of course i had to ride it out. (i didnt want to come down hard on the forks  ) it was wonderful. i know this bike could easily come up in 4th probably without the clutch. i know mine in 3rd was just throttle!im drooling | ||

Yup, dairyland got me for $285/year for full coverage. Gieco wouldn't cover me either, and progressive was over a grand. | ||

I'm at $674 with Dairyland. That's a 24/yr old with a clean record. Hopefully she takes a dip next month when I turn 25  | ||

24 yr old in NY with $1,404 a year for my 1125 with dairy land ins. which is 117 a month. which is cheaper then my old XB12r b/c the less cc's and alarm system i presume. | ||

yup just got of the phone with dairyland and it came to 800 dollars a year for full coverage! i guess i can get the bike. now i can obsess some more. i think i might wait till next year since the riding season is almost over and itll give me some time to probably buy the bike outright. thanks for the heads up on dairyland. mary the girl that helped me was very nice. | ||

Dairyland just quoted me $465 including comprehensive/collision ($335 without). I can live with that. Progressive wants $1,400 for the exact same coverage, and I'm not even going to take a stab at Geico. Last time I renewed the policy on my cruiser, Progressive quoted me $147 and Geico wanted almost $1,500--ten to one, WTF??? Unless y'all have any other suggestions, I'm going to pull the trigger on the Dairyland policy and maybe switch the rest of my stable over to them, too. Anybody have any experience with claims through them? | ||

Just called Dairyland. 2200.00 for my 4 bikes full coverage. Guess I will stay with Geico for about 1500.00 for the same coverage. Only weird thing is Dairyland does not write policies in California so it would have been through Viking. | ||

Insurance companies make no darned sense. | ||

Progressive quoted me 2 grand for my 1125. I have it through State Farm for 420.00. 34 and a clean record. | ||
| Jmr1283 |

| Jmr1283 |

Congrats to you on the new bike! | ||
| Jmr1283 |
im very new to fuel injection, or pretty much everything this bike works off. I do have some ?'s though, and i know everyone has talked about them already, but im sooo new to this bike most of the stuff that are used to start the conversation im lost on. My issues..(please help me solve them) 1) Fueling problems under 3 grand. 2)where do i get this remap? and what do i need to do it. 3) a company that actually has performance stuff for it? oh and i probably dont even know what could be better so please i would love u to tell me what to fix that i havent even relized. thanks guys. oh and the reason im on here is its raining.;( | ||

1) That's normal, for now. 2) when it's released (allegedly monday), you friendly HD/Buell dealer will do it for you. | ||

ive read some other stuff on other threads, and i might wait. i mean im still in break in. im a really aggressive driver, so hopefully itll stop raining so i can put some miles on it. plus i dont want to loose power. man this bike is awsome. i actually have to go out and mess with the suspension some. im only 145 pounds at 5'6. so i could use 2 inchs shorter. and i need less preload. unfortunatly from the factory its set at 2 with isnt goin to give me more then a 1/2 inch in the rear shock. it doesnt bother me a lot being on my tippy toes that much, but i cant back the bike up if theres any kind of incline.  i guess i could order a new shock to lower the rear. any suggestions on how to lower it some? i would be happy with a inch. but 2 would be perfect |
