I think it cost me a front tire though... The sides are all munched eraser looking. I didn't have enough pressure (or temperature) so I kept sliding the front through the turns. Oh well, anything that makes me give it more twist is alright by me . I've gotten to the point that I "enjoy" that feeling that you get when sliding the front and it seems you could do anything with the bars and it won't have any effect. I was surprised the first time it happened because it feels exactly like an under-steering car. It only really gets dis-concerting when I'm sliding the front AND the edge of my foot scrapes. I would rather have it setup to slide the rear though, and the last change I made was to lower the front pre-load one notch. After I did that, I started getting weird wear patterns on the front. I think I'll lower the rear preload one notch too and that should re-balance it. It's funny... the more I learn to ride the thing the closer I get back to the factory setup. | ||

What are you running for a front tire pressure? | ||
| M1combat |
Well... I don't know what it was at  . I set them to 36/36 in the verde valley on the way over to Show-Low. On a warm sunny day I generally set them to 35/35, sometimes 34/35. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
Reminds you alot of the stock Dunlop doesn't it. I ended up finding if I stick with the 36/38 the bike prefers it alot. With the Shinko's the front is an aggressive profile close to a Diablo, yet the rear is a flat profile like the Conti's were. I figured that was why the fronts were wearing to the edges and the rears weren't. BTW if you have questions about that PCIII just ask, and it is a PCIII not a PCII | ||
| M1combat |
It says it's a PCII... On the box and the unit. It looks like it has a Serial port (although I haven't removed the cover). | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
The unit is a PCIII per the unit number and the number listed on the box as verified by Dynojet | ||

Hey Brian, so are you now going to be "PenisXB" or maybe "UnionhillsXB" oh wait how about "75thAVExb" heh...hey man, hows it going? When do we get to swing by and welcome the new neighbors? | ||
| Charlieboy6649 |
Hey Guys, Getting excited. I'm sitting here in my Ontario hotel room and I can't sleep. You see, in the morning, I'll be getting up and heading out to California Speedway for the FX/Superbike races.  | ||
| Azbueller |
So who is riding tomorrow??? Bart, Jeremy Kobie said you might be going for a ride tomorrow??? I can sneak out tomorrow morning for a couple of hours. | ||
| Bartimus |
Brian and I were kicking around the idea of going up South Mountain real early Sunday morning. He's not sure if he can break loose from the unpacking long enuff to ride, but I'm free if anyone wants to go up. Jeremy, Did you get your bike sorted out? Is it running again? Carey, I'm game, want to meet at the last Gas station/convenience store on Central heading up S. Mtn around 0730? I'm not sure which side of the road it's on, but it ain't hard to spot your bike... | ||
| Azbueller |
Its on the northwest corner of Central and Dobbins and I'm there, see you guys at 7:30, you know that South Mountain opens at 5:00am. | ||

Turns out that the skipping was caused by a loose battery terminal, it had a sheet of trouble codes all because the thing was loose. i missed out on all those buelltiful twisties for a freakin loose connection      . Oh well! I'll get over it. To answer your question Bart and Carey, the fan is not working so they will be keeping it for a few more days. Dave my mechanic of choice said it runs like a raped date, now that the terminal is connected properly. Thx for the concern, we will ride soon  Later J (Message edited by buellj79 on April 30, 2005) | ||

I can't believe that!!!! A loose battery terminal, that sucks!!!! You would not have needed the fan all day saturday if you found that loose terminal. | ||
| Mr_bill |
Well, someone needs to bring up the back of the pack, and I think I'm just the guy for that job! So assuming I can get out the door at 6:30, I'll see you guys there. I need to break in my new tire... | ||
| Unibear12r |
Sucks, glad it wasn't a major thing J. | ||
| Azbueller |
So thats three so far, anyone else.....Brian??? I'm sure you could sneak the bike out that early!!!! | ||
| Bartimus |
Carey and Bill, Great doing the morning ride with you two!  | ||
| Azbueller |
Wow, what a morning to ride South Mountain except for all the kamikaze bicyclists and I thought we were bad taking up the whole road. Good riding with you Bart, Shaina and Bill and I'm off next Friday so anyone else who is lets ride cause it will be last day off to ride before me bike is sold!!!! | ||
| Bartimus |
A shot of Carey's S2  and a shot of his "other" S2  | ||
| Azbueller |
Thanks for posting the pics Bart!!!! | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
J, were was it loose? I know You I and Ski all gave the connections at the battery a jiggle when you had the seat off... So anyone know where Brian's new place is exactly so we can invade? | ||
| Azbueller |
Like 75th Ave. and Union Hills I heard Mikel. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
That is a pretty big area of a subdivision Carey, I was hoping someone had it narrowed down closer then that |
