The last time I was on the Notom Road, which was 2 years ago, it was in very good condition. It is flat and straight, and goes through a wash or two. My recollection is that there are more deep...

The Burr Trail (In SE Utah, BTW) is a good "starter" road for someone on a GS transitioning to dirt. It is mostly firm, and mostly straight, and mostly flat. I wouldn't try it if it has rained...

Check your fuses. Look in your manual for the fuse that deals with the RID. Pull the fuse and look at it very carefully. I had the same problem on my 1100RS, and the fuse had a hairline crack in...

The "fender" (or "beak" as it's sometimes affectionately called) is attached to the subframe, not the fork or triple clamp. The handlebars, and hence the tire, are slightly off-center in the photo. ...

I had an R1100RS that exhibited the same symptoms. It turned out that I had a cracked fuse. The fuse wasn't blown, in the traditional sense, so that you could see that it was no good. Rather, it...

Acknowledging I could be wrong here, I think this is in error. The travel of the Adventure would be limited by the shorter GS shock. Also, the standard GS shock can mess up the geometry of both the...

Sorry, I've gotten beyond that stage. After numerous attempts at soldering, I trashed the thing. No numbers to be had. Trash day is Tuesday in my neighborhood. Thanks for the suggestions, though.

I actually tried that. When I plugged the unit in afterward, the left signal lights (front, rear, and panel) came on solid, even before the ignition was switched on! What's up with that?
