What do you estimate your daily mileage to be ? It's easy to be over ambitious on these type trips, and it's no fun trying to keep up with a schedule when you're supposed to be having fun. Leave plenty of time to stop and explore the small town and road side attractions, it really helps make the trip.

Prior to helmets having removable interior padding. I would wet down the inside padding, massage in shampoo to wash, then set in the dishwasher lower rack on the rinse cycle to clean out. You may have to remove the upper rack for it to fit. To dry set the opening in front of a fan or on the air conditioning register on the floor. The driers mentioned above are good as well for periodic use. You will still need to wash regularly to remove the source of the funk.

You could probably look the part numbers up online and see if they are the same or not.

If you take the time to read through this thread you will find the procedure just up the page a bit.

Look up the install instructions, I think the receiver installation location on the bottom of the bag is adjustable.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I found a close out SW-Motech ION low profile bag and bought it.

Take it back to the dealer to complete the job properly.

Kind of looks like a cable or wire guide. I can't see anything obvious with bodywork on mine.

Important features for me on the GT are cruise control, heated grips, fully adjustable suspension, and hard bags.

Good on you for keeping at this. You should take a systematic approach to determine if and which components may be bent or damaged. Find fixed locations and take measurements on both sides. Check the handlebars and mounts for movement, check the mount for the front instruments, headlight, and windscreen. One small tweak in a mount somewhere may manifest itself at the far end of the component.

I bought a handful of oem Yamaha filters from Rocky Mountain ATV at about $9 each. If you buy enough moto stuff your shipping is free. The filters are not going to go bad sitting on the shelf and you'll always have one on hand.

To some extent yes. It largely depends of the surface texture it's applied to. A smoother surface will provide an easier release of the adhesive. Hopefully you used it in a somewhat sparingly manner.

Thanks for the feedback !

I like the looks of this unit and its simplicity. I watched the 800GS video and at the end he showed the chain and rear sprocket after a weekend of off road riding. It didn't look like the o-rings between the side plates were getting any lubrication. What has been your experience after use ?

If you go to an online parts diagram you can check the part numbers for the two different models and see if they are the same.

I think I know that guy !

I totally agree with you on the fuel level indicator, basically worthless. Thank goodness I have ridden motorcycles for years without such luxuries and tend to rely more on the odometer/trip meter. Hope you get the issue sorted out with your quick shifter !

Is anyone using the Givi Metro-T TankLock 5L tank bag on their bike ? I have my GPS on the handle bar close in to the left side clamp. I would like to make sure I have enough clearance with this bag on at full lock. TIA

I found Rocky Mountain ATV carries OEM parts now. They sell the Yamaha factory filter for about $9 and change. They are a good source for tires as well.

One does have to wonder why these machines did not get self cancelling signals.

An hour from "The Dragon" I never ride there as there are too many amateurs, luckily there is great riding in any other direction from home.

That will work just fine. Prep your surfaces properly to ensure good ashesion.

You need another bike, use the correct tool for the job at hand. Otherwise just back off a bit and enjoy what you have at a slower pace.

I'm amazed to find another soul that knows what a Tohatsu Runpet is !

I watched This Video and took a few notes while watching. Went into the garage and spent about 45 minutes on my 2019 900GT and after riding is like a totally different motorcycle. It's well worth a small amount of your time for the benefit of a well functioning suspension system. Before starting be sure your tires are at the proper pressure and chain is properly adjusted.
