Hi, thanks for bringing me in. I ride an '06 SC Ultra Classic here in SoCal, but with all the lousy drivers and people on their phones, I now restrict most of my riding to trips away from the coast. Been loving it since '08 when I bought my bike. I have a request on the Clutch/Transmission page regarding my bike. Any wisdom would be most welcome. Again, glad to be in and thank you!
Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan! I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Take to an office supply store and have them put a spiral binder in place of the glued binder. That will let the manuals lay flat on your bench. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
Howdy! from another SoCal rider!
I hear you about the lousy drivers, but we try to ride to the coast to get away from it, not away from the coast! At least the scenery is better.
