for those of you wanting to pick up your pressure gauge, gail's has about 8 boxes worth of them. I rode over there and got one on saturday after riding with you hooligans from the plaza. | ||
| Bwesky |

Check this out!!!! http://stlouis.craigslist.org/mcy/1024950771.html I may have found the X1 I have been looking for. | ||
| Duff24 |
That bike is definitely sweet! I saw it a couple weeks ago just browsing Buells for sale. The XB wheels and chrome really set it off as a custom. | ||
| Bwesky |
that X1 is sick. | ||
| Fester99 |
I sent him an email, to see what I can get done. If he is willing to deal I may have to get it, if not no big deal. But there may be an S1 up for sale here in the near future. Let me know if any of you may want a look at it. (see profile) | ||

Im currently having a lagging issue on my bike and im curious if any of you guys are good w/ ECMSpy? Im in the process of ordering new plugs, wires, 02 sensor, air filter and maybe a rear injector. After I replace this stuff if I still have the issue if someone is interested in trying to help me figure it out I will buy you a beer( soda\water if thats your thing). I will post back up when I have everything this is just more of a heads up and feeler of who might be able to help. | ||

I'm not "good" with ECMSpy, but I do know that it is very dangerous to mess with factory mapping; especially absent a dyno. To the average dude like myself, ECMSpy is only good for doing the routine stuff like resetting the TPS and checking/clearing codes. Which, BTW, if you are not throwing any codes, you likely won't need an O2 sensor and may not need an injector. I would try resetting the TPS first. That usually fixes almost any weirdness my bike develops every 3-4k miles (lagging, surging, etc...). My other advice would be to try one thing at a time with a round of testing after each change. I do remember having a lagging problem that was caused by a wiring issue. | ||

| Duff24 |
Cool! Yeah I'll probably have to go. Let's plan to ride down there if it's nice! | ||
| Bearracing |
Hmm.. So would you stop in Pittsburg Ks for gas from Kansas City? Then head into Joplin Mo? Just trying to get a feel of how many times to fill up the tank on that long of a trip? | ||
| Fester99 |
Thats cool sounds like a fun lil trip. Count me in thats for sure. I know a guy that lives down in Joplin and he even works at Cycle Connections. | ||
| Lowflyer |
150 miles is a long trip?  I will pencil it in too. I am running low on pics to photoshop.  (Message edited by lowflyer on February 12, 2009) | ||

Hehe yeah that's what I was thinkin Lee. Its about a one-tank trip! I think you may need to freshen up your camera sniper skills  | ||
| Biff |
I am in. I grew up in Carthage MO, and have been to that dealership a dozen times... I will definitely be going. | ||
| Bwesky |
OH shit, i think its sad that im more excited about ill conduct then Erik, anyways count me in as weel, sounds like a killler time!!! | ||
| Duff24 |
Keep in mind the 20th is on a friday (good friday). I just realized its not on a weekend (but I have the day off anyways). | ||
| Bwesky |
i just google mapped it and that is pretty far, what time were you guys planning on rolling out?? | ||
| Lowflyer |
I say we leave at 5am sharp.  | ||
| Duff24 |
You would say that Lee! I say we make a day out of it if its nice. Meet for lunch and leave after. Maybe take some backroad twisties or somethin. | ||
| Fester99 |
I think there will be a few of us going, thats for sure. Sounds like we maybe around 7 to 10 of us from the KC area. I am thinking about heading down on the 19th and make a long weekend out of it. Just to get out of town, and on some new roads. | ||
| Ratfink |
Hell yeah I'm down for this ride! That is a perfect time to get out of the city and ride. Just the 5 am thing is a wee-bit early if you ask me..... | ||
| Lowflyer |
Okay, how about we meet up at Fuel at 9am or so and be in Joplin for lunch. It's about a 3-hour tour, a 3-hour tour. That way, we can have the option of taking the long way home and not be all in the dark and shlt. (Message edited by lowflyer on February 12, 2009) | ||
| Ratfink |
Sounds good to me. And were gonna be in the dark no matter what if we stay for the 7pm Trilogy of Tech thing. But hey, what do I care? My mom says I'm ok to stay out past dark just this once.... And bwesky, you can go. Not that far of a ride. Plus its gotta be easier for distance on a Lighting. | ||
| Ratfink |
This may be a little off the current subject, but...... has anyone seen a 1125cr out on the road around the KC area? I haven't seen any yet. Curious if any of you have. | ||
| Bearracing |
Well if i can get the day off.. id love to join you guys on the ride over there.. As for any CR's around.. Nope.. Riverfront harley in lawrence has some in.. but they havnt sold any yet. | ||
| Duff24 |
Saw one at Gail's and Riverfront but haven't seen any on the street yet. Definitely a cool bike tho....... As for eating lunch in Joplin, are we gonna find some roads outside of town to ride on while we wait for 5 o'clock to roll around? | ||
| Lowflyer |
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. We could take 43 south out of Joplin and make a loop out of 90, Hwy E, 76 and 71. Or we could just do lunch here and get there around showtime if that is too much riding for some. That is since 150 miles is so far, I mean.  | ||
| Dtx |
I am liking this level of participation and commitment for a ride! It has been way too long since I have ridden with you guys.  | ||
| Bearracing |
Oh ha ha ha.. i think that was directed towards me? .. its all good.. and ya 150 is kinda long for my butt since im still pretty new.. and i have only been able to get 130 miles on one tank.. with 25 of that running with the fuel light on.. |
