    I want a bike but...

    You can say that again. First year bike and it set the standard for all others to try and match and the second year no changes because it was that good. Now the Kawi ZX10 has tried to dethrown the BMW but, didn't quite make it Kawi 163RWH BMW 174RWH. As far as the price tag on the BMW. My...

    I want a bike but...

    I have owned 4 different year R1's, an R6 and a warrior. I now have a BMW S1000RR. I feel yamaha is not doing any R&D to improve their product. Although they are still great bikes, the R1 and R6 have barely changed in years. Except the cross plane motor, since 06 there hasn't been any major...

    Is your bike ready yet!

    I really like the color and style of the R1 ... especially the 04 Red! I had 2 R1's for awhile.

    Is your bike ready yet!

    Geez I will have to roll the GSXR out of the garage and take a pic now. I have an 09 gsxr 600 along with the acid green S1000. That's a hard choice for you on which bike to take on the track. I use the 600 more for commuting and the BMW for track/hard core street riding (gap etc...)

    Looks like you should have bought my 06 R1 LE from me last year to match your R6!! How do you like the R1 with the cross plane?

    MAN THAT HAS TO BE LOUD! I'm typing in caps so you can hear me! I'm glad I don't live next to you...LOL My neighbor works a funny shift 1PM -Midnight so he comes rolling in on his screaming eagle bagger at 1230 AM 4 nights a week. He lets it sit in the driveway and idle while he gets off...

    Is your bike ready yet!

    I live in Appleton and work in Green Bay 30 minutes each way but, there are only 2 curves on-ramp and off-ramp between home and work...so I would flat spot my tire to quick. I need to ride the wifes GSXR 600 to and from work. The S1000 is an awesome bike (traction control, ABS, quick shift...

    Is your bike ready yet!

    I had a terrible snowmobiling year only one trip and 600 miles. I have the sled cleaned and put away. I am ready to ride again. Bring on summer! Got my beemer cleaned up and getting new tires today. Now all I need is a good hard rain to clean the roads and I will be riding again.

    What is the preferred coolant type for the 4 strokes

    I run engine Ice (Blue in color) http://www.engineice.com/ Engine ice is only good to -27 so if you get colder than that it could be a problem.

    Do you lose interest in snowmobiling in the off season??

    As soon as it gets warm (like now) I shift to my bike and start planning our trip down to deals Gap (aka tail of the dragon 318 curves in 11 miles) for the end of April. Then it's track days on the bike. Hunting in the fall and start planning our weekend before Christmas ride to the UP on the...

    ever use RED LINE WATER WETTER® COOLANT ADDITIVES

    This is why I use engine ice instead. I have used water wetter in my bikes and it works but, got tired of draining it every fall. Freeze protection to -27 I now use this. http://www.kneedraggers.com/product/38-CYC-1/Engine-Ice-Hi-Performance-Coolant-12-Gallon

    Snowtrackers Review

    I have a few more miles (500) on my trackers (extreme). I would agree with Rock these things turn when you turn and absolutely zero darting. This is on an 08 Apex LTX, I can't say how they would be on a different model. I did post in a different thread, IMHO if your sled is not set-up...

    How can I raise MPG?

    Try synchronizing the throttle bodies. Also I only get 12.5 with my apex LTX, but I have the extra tall windshield, mirrors and a ton of ski pressure.

    Soo I-500 Web Links

    Is it just me or was he not picking good lines through the corners? This is one-way and no one else was out there. He never used the Apex?

    So if I buy an Apex.......

    The skids on the 08 Mono are already beefed up. But there is a guy in Keil Wi that can go through the skid and do whatever you want to it and fresh powder coating. I have run dually's, pilot ski's, and now snow trackers. Of the 3 I would say the trackers work the best for aggressive trail...

    Opinions on Yamaha models

    I'll second the GT. The Gt is way easier to set-up because you can adjust the front compression and rebound.

    Opinions on Yamaha models

    I rode a Phazer last weekend and got off it after 10 miles and went back to my Apex LTX to rest. I had an 09 Nytro XTX and it was a great trail sled once I set it up. I had hygear triple rates up front, pilot ski's, torsion spring spacers, 3" riser, tall windscreen, side deflectors, mirrors...
