Re: Windscreen

With my FJR I used the stock screen in summer (9 months in Arizona) and Yamaha's larger in 'winter' (fall 2 months, spring 1 month).  I am concerned about the aerodynamics of the Werks and Puig not allowing air flow to the vents on top of my helmet.

Re: Windscreen

English is my second language, so please excuse the confusion of what I meant about getting hit in the neck.  When I say neck I mean the Adam’s Apple area, not the back of the neck.  With the windscreen all the way down, up, or where I usually have it at about 60% for minimum noise...

Re: Windscreen

With the stock windscreen, fine rain drops are hitting me in the neck. Would Werks or Puig fix this?
Where can I purchase Puig in USA?

Re: My car won't start

No garage, carport.  Only electrical equipment is an old CD/FM radio.  When the bike is not in the carport, the car fob's work.

Re: My car won't start

Y'all are gonna love this.  I got bad news, more bad news and really bad news. Just discovered that the 97 Ford Probe parked on the other side of the RT has the same fob malfunction.  Thought the battrees might be dead, stopped on the way to the store and the fob worked.  ...

There is some sort of pot, but it's for medicinal purposes only; it's in the manual. Nine?

Re: My car won't start

The other 2 are again nothing special, but kind of rare due to their age.  97 Ford Probe GT & 89 GMC Suburban.

Re: Another newb question - boxer engine preferred revs?

I read somewhere and found to be true that besides closing the throttle on downshifts, the shift lever should be depressed quickly, all the way down and held there for a split second. If not, the slipper clutch will almost make you think you are doing it correctly. When to upshift? The newer or newe...

Re: My car won't start

Nothing special, really, except maybe for the spoiler.

Sent an email to GM/Cadi and BMW.  I'm hoping that one or both will offer a solution.  I'm expecting one to blame the other.

Re: My car won't start

I think I have it sussed. Assistant service manager at the dealer called it the Immobilizer, BMW calls it Steuereinheit für schlüssellose Fahrt or Keyless Ride control unit. He said he did not know how it worked, but he believes it is a receiver and a transmitter. I speculate that when it senses the...

Re: My car won't start

Ain't gonna sell it; wouldn't be prudent. Cadi is a black 2010 CTS with a ton of options including the rare rear deck spoiler. I bought in 2013 with only 7,000 miles. Guy hardly drove it and traded it in on a Porsche. I could do that.

And now, for the rest of the story..........

Re: My car won't start

Wife came home and the fob worked for a while, as usual. I've yet to time how long it takes to fail, but fail it did. Removed the battery from the RT fob and the Cadi fob still failed. Went outside and just for sits & giggles, pulled the cover off the bike up to the windshield and wallah, the Ca...

Re: My car won't start

You want weird? I can give you weird. I took the cover off the bike, back to front as usual, but stopped with the cover bunched up on the windscreen; the Cadi fob now started to work. OK, I pulled the cover back on as far as the seat; the fob did not work. I pulled the cover forward to the windscree...

Re: My car won't start

Don't quite understand the question, but I 've yet to try to move the bike's fob far away. It has been far enough away from the bike to not be recognized, but maybe not far enough for the car to not pick it up. There are transmitters on the bike like tire sensors, Bluetooth, and possibly the alarm s...
