	Look close, there were 3 positions on my ol'ladies'
training wheels bike ('77 GS400), run, res, and pri. The prime
position bypassed the vacuum valve and directly opened the
reserve. Sedement was a problem with this entire fuel system,
so it may pay to get a gasket/diaphragm kit and rebuild your
valve.

Yep.

Nope. The "prime" position bypasses the vacuum switch so that you can
get gas into dry carbs without running the engine.

I was at the library yesterday, for about an hour, and while I was 
inside, some jackass tried to steal my passenger's helmet! (aka Joe
Senner's loaner helmet!)

Now we're talking about an old black plastic no-name helmet with a
goofy "Ninja" sticker on the side.  Why on Earth anyone would even
bother is beyond me, but someone undid the retaining bungee, and
left signs of a frustrated struggle to abscond with the helmet.

For those who are interested, the reason I still have Joe's helmet
is that I rigged a retaining wire (~12 gauge) to secure the helmet
to the lock, even when stashed on the seat under the bungee.  The
apparatus is simply a 1 meter piece of wire knotted & soldered into
a loop.  This wire loop is then passed through the D ring of the helmet,
and the two free ends are secured into the helmet lock.

It worked this time, but I think I'll wait until I have my own helmet
to test the effectiveness of this anti theft device again.  I think the
scumbag pried at my seat, in a vain attempt to reach the lock mechanism.
My seat is feeling kinda funny & floppy.

BTW, a question for all you etiologists.  What is the TRUE origin of the
word "scumbag"?

  Huh??  Excuse me?  Granted, the ZX-11 doesn't have that much legroom, but,

seat is better for passengers (much wider), so perhaps this is enough of
the difference, but I recall the FJ pegs being the same height from the ground,
and the same distance to the top of the seat as the ZX.  The FJ driver
legroom *is* slightly more than the ZX, but, if you can get used to the
FJ legroom, you can also get used to the ZX legroom...

  The V-Max definitely has more passenger (AND driver) legroom than either FJ

The same thing I'd do if I got a flat in the middle of the city.

Fix it.

If you've got tubeless tires, BMW's plug kit is nice. If you're running
tubes, you'll need a patch kit, air source, and some tire irons that
will fit in your toolkit.

Of course as long as you're carrying a flat repair kit, you'll never
need it. :-)

I did a lot of sport-touring on my GSXR (note: not GSRX 8^).   Touring
was fatiguing after 3 or 4 hours.  I sold the bike, and plan on
getting a 90 (or later) FJ1200.  8^)  I'm about 6'2", 190lbs.  I've
ridden my friend's FJ for a few miles, and it's niiiiice.

Ditto.  And make cages illegal on it.  >8^)

If you are calling shops looking for Meguiars, and they
cannot find, perhaps you are pronouncing it wrong.

Try pronouncing it MEG GYRZ.

I cannot believe you California people can't find it.
Oh, wait.  Sure I can.  Sure.  Of course.
