I've always used the Battery tender plug it's got a 10 amp fuse.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I too use a battery tender. The "battery tenders", if installed correctly, are wired directly to the battery terminals which means the fail-safe is the "in-line fuse" installed in the tender to battery lead. This bypasses all the fuses the bike has. The in-line fuse should be rated less than the pump (this prevents the pump from being burned out due to excessive amps and associated heat) which saves the pump.

Don't put Slime in the tires. It corrodes aluminum rims. I had RideOn in my RT but then it started balling up inside the tire and causing vibration issues. My mechanic got upset at me for using it too. Don't want to piss off your mechanic. No no no no no

But, sometimes if you just let the horse go, you discover new ground

Interesting.
Cause for the balling up? Was it likely due to excessive and prolonged tire heat(based on where you live/ride), or was the possible cause discussed?
Never have been a fan of slime - tho, it does live up to its name.

I really don't know. I would be interested to know if this happened to anybody else. It was like the tires were out of balance. But only at certain speeds say about between 40 and 45 miles per hour. I did not discover this until I had the front tires rotated.

Found this IMPORTANT FACT.
Ride-On (TPS) contains only about 46% EG(Ethylene Glycol) by weight and is diluted by at least 50% water.
If, it's been in your tires for a considerable amount of time (ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING YOUR RIDING ENVIRONMENT) it may be that it simply dryed up.

Wow! That's pretty informative. It applies to your environment as well, more so. Flats or not, can't let my mechanic get upset at me. From now on my tires shall remain virgins. Lol
