So on full time?

I like mine on full time: can monitor status when out & about, as well as when parked up for Winter. I use automatic battery tenders/chargers most of the time (especially the colder seasons) but it's good to know the battery state anyway. Nothing to stop one adding an inline switch - with its inherent (usually minimal) resistance i.e a small/tiny voltage drop.

   Could not find the factory Aux gps wiring  to use like I had on my previous 07 Norge so I end up running a fused connection from the +battery to under the tank and will with hole saw tomorrow install the volt meter just above the ABS switch on the flat open area above it.   I like the digital blue color. Hope is shows up better than the barely readable dim dash. (yes I have them turned all the way up via dash controls).  Thanks for the info.

I'm another don't cheap out on the seat, go with a real sheep skin.

As for going cheap, Walmart used to have a blowup seat in their hunting/fishing department. As for the AirHawk, I put about half a breath of air in it and let most of that out.

Thinking about this... Others have mentioned very good starting points.

I would take a close look at the carbs with the bowls off. A dry bowl can get a dried build up on whatever is inside. Could be a float or float needle sticking or a bit of debris going through the jets. As mentioned, carefully using jet cleaning wire tips or a sewing needle or the like I would clean the jets. Heck once the bowl is off, just pull the jets for the cleaning. Then while they are off, take some carb cleaner and squirt it in the holes where the jets go.

Starter spray and a rough cloth rub has worked for me in the past. This also works for many spot cleaning chores; of course do not spray on hot exhaust!!!!!

Oven cleaner does work.  Learn from my mistake - spray it on a cloth and then rub onto the pipe.  Don't spray! - you'll overspray and take paint off cases, etc.  Ax me how I know!
