    Kind of forgot how cool it can be on the neck for the ride in. I will have to remember to put something on for that.

    Lol. Do you find yourself doing the turtle? You know, squishing your head down into your coat.

    You have the good gas station between your house and work, so you really have no excuse.

    Anybody know how the pins inside OEM plugs come out? I know Travis had/has a tool to remove and install them. Can it be done without that tool?

    I went to test drive the DRZ after finishing the rewiring my tank bag. All was including my heated clothing working (yay). Good until I turned the bars right. When I do that the bike shuts off. I traced it to a single pin in the ignition switch wiring. I tried to tighten it by bending the female side of the plug with a small standard screwdriver but it didn't work. I need to pull that brass bit out and check it/straighten it/tighten it.

    And no, I can't just turn to the left to avoid the problem.

    is it bad that I advance my timing in the winter, and retard it in the summer so I can run cheaper gas?
