Hi all--
I've been on the GTS for about a month now, and have put on a litle over 1000
miles. I have a couple of questions about the bike, since I was more used to my
old CBR1000F:
1. I have a hella squeak from the front wheel. It seems to come from the
vicinity of what looks like a rod betwe
Jason, I am riding over on the 13th. I am coming from Lenox Mass. What
will your route be??
Sincerely,

Heh. Interesting question.
My experience has been, that when the bike 'falls' over, (DOH!), mine
has usually landed in a 3 point stance. The rubber piece at the knee
area, a front foot peg, and the front tire. However, if the wheel is
turned out in the fall, the little gray rubber strip on the sw
Say folks I know you've seen those round nylon blocks that are made
to keep the body panels from hitting the ground on many an other brand
sport bikes.
I've looked about to see where some might go on a GTS. Has anybody
found a good place? Does anybody out there know for what type of bike

Thanks Bill. I had no idea why anyone would want to put wax on their
wheels...legs, maybe!
I use Simple Green on my wheels. Seems to do a good job.

I use paraffin and an old toothbrush, The wheels always come up spotless.
Just remember to wash off the wheel and tires well with soap and water at
the end, to remove any of the paraffin from the area.

In rechecking my email, I found that Bob Henig is leaving Tuesday morning
(the 11th).

Having spoken to him yesterday, I know for a fact that Bob Henig, owner of
Bob's BMW here in the DC area will be going. He's leaving either today or
tomorrow, but I don't know if he is driving or riding.

I have used hair conditioner for years and have never had a problem.
Goes on slippery, dries quickly and cleans up great.
OK, let's hear the jokes!

Grip Glue. :) Other alternatives are used toohairspray, paint, etc. But
most guys I know just buy the grip glue. Wouldn't it be nice if all the bar
manufactors knurled the left side of the handlebars?

Try to apply a little hair spray to the chrome handle bar. Then slip the new
grip on. Give the new grips a chance to dry. They should be good for a couple
of seasons. I suppose, you could also use some regular strength 3M upholstery
adhesive. It works pretty good but not so good that you'll nev

Byron,
Basically they have to be on as tight as possible.
We Dutch ride bicycles a lot. Most bicycles have rubber grips. Whenever they
start to get loose, I take them off, put scotch tape on the smooth steel
handlebars and slip them on again. That does the job very well

Here's an absolutely elementary question to an ancient problem, that in
spite of 36 years of riding I'v never heard solved properly:
How do you stop ordinary rubber grips from slipping and turning on smooth
chromed handlebars?
Got to be an easy answer to this one.
