Tires have improved over the last 3 decades. No, the tires won’t stick as well, or last as long but they’re not going to blow up like the death star.

I used the “old school” way; go to the section in the as-built ; update, check it, write it. cycle ignition. If you look at the update for splash screen I put in the thread, linking to the original, the 2 fields are splash and seat belt minder. I already suppressed the minder ; the flashing...

I did not use easy mode for the seat belt splash. Have not bothered with WAL because of all the drama surrounding it.

Yeah, I think there’s a bit of institutional exaggeration based on the mfgr. warning. Thankfully, I moved to a climate more suitable to human habitation but... back in the 1990’s I had a GT 5.0 that I’d swapped 17” los profile Yoks on to. They stuck GREAT in normal temps. Winter came...

Hmm... The seat belt splash removal worked for me and ... I think 2 others. Another poster suggested using another value besides zero but I haven’t confirmed that. You need to ignition cycle at least once, did you do that? weird.

That seems like a Dup. my ’17 Rap has already had the booster or m/c recall performed.

I definitely want to be your audiologist.

check and see if you got a software update. Module updates will definitely cause this but sometimes even with no update, the colors reset.

This. My money would be on a dealership installed tracker/alarm or some form of loss mitigation.

Nice primer grey ! 😛

No, probably moisture left over from the previous drive getting expelled.

Probably fine, leftover vapor in all likelihood.

Aftermarket exhaust?

I think mine covers about $270, give or take. I bought my Rap a rear diff cover. for like a hundred bucks-ish?

In case you haven’t read enough to convince you, see what happens when you let a tire shop work on your vehicle unsupervised: #14 This guy had something like 9 sheared lug nuts due to the tire shop ignoring his instructions to NOT use an impact wrench. This caused lug nut, stud and...

I agree about the brake checking as well. Although I did have a scooter rider in Bergamo show me his front wheel coming into a roundabout. We were not going slow... but obviously he or she wanted more pace. I went straight through them and I think they peeled off in another direction at the...

Might also need a saw. We’re not dealing with a Lincoln sized trunk here.

That is an interesting observation, and I’ll bet there’s some truth to it. I would say that my observation was Italians definitely had a competitive streak. I will say this ; the European countries I’ve been to as a whole have significantly more respect for 2 wheelers than the US driving...

That last point is well and truly overestimated. While some of the Old Country have fairly stringent licensing standards, you also have ... for example, Ireland where there are contingents of pre-EU drivers out there with minimal training. Honestly, the quality of driver on the Autobahn was...

Just be glad you don’t live in or near a car theft sanctuary. You know, where the local PD’s and S/O’s only take over the phone reports for stolen vehicles. Not mentioning any names, like... San Antonio. And count your blessings if you don’t live close to the Mexican border, so the Cartels...
