• 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.

    You might also want to check Cherohala Skyway between Tellico Plains, TN and Robbinsville, NC also. Tapoco Lodge near Tapoco is a little on the expensive side but a nice place. Watch your speed on US129 in Tennessee.

    Brake Caliper Issue Stuck

    You can purchase a tool to rotate the brake piston from BajaRon. Some are able to use needle nose pliers but this didn’t work for me.

    Ideas on testing DESS module on 09 GS SE5?

    I’ve just been told by a dealer mechanic the DESS problem comes from interference from the radio antenna. I had this issue two years ago but it went away after about an hour. They added some thicker iron shield in the DESS unit as an attempt to reduce this interference. I have had a couple of...
