you know how pictures are, depends whether is it sunny, clouds, which direction the sun is, where it is in the sky, etc etc. I usually carry another camera with me, but just has the phone with me, I can get creative on the shots, but all depends on things listed above, notice the pic of Dark Canyon above, overcast, sun was in a bad position, had the scoot too far from the road to see the twisties, etc. oh well

man, that sucks. It looked like just water, but a couple of things he did wrong, but hard to tell from the video, you should get off the throttle and don't hit the brakes, not sure which it was, his rear tire may have been spinning, but he was in a bit of a turn, but looks like he may have braked some....ouch

yea they surely rock you around whether you are following or they are passing you, however, there is a certain distance that works that you are not getting buffeted around, however it is really close and not safe. The other thing, the air wake behind a semi can change if the wind is coming from the side, can make it even worse, i move way over to the side when they are passing me.

i got a killer deal on my Yager because the older guy that had it dropped it over in the gravel, scratching up the right side. I ordered all new plastic online, suprising but it doesn't cost that much, well not in comparison to crotch rocket plastic, that stuff is made of gold.
Problem with the kymco plastic, it sctaches easily, the paint that is on the plastic comes off easy. Painting plastic is tough, it will never look like it did when it was new, i suggest you order new plastic online. If going to some of the places like kymcopartsonline, you may have to specify the color when ordering.

I went on a cruise last Wednesday, had to take a highway for 22 miles, I held it 65-67 mph the whole time, one hill that I had to go up knocked me down to 52 mph

this is a video with the 1080P, me riding my Polaris 850 XP EPS ATV and following my friend on his Brute Force, I since upgraded the firmware to get rid of the red vertical flashing lines while looking in to the sun:

my check engine light DOES NOT come on when i turned on the key, it does not flash, it does nothing, something is still wrong, i didn't see anything in the Dink Service Manual that talks about it, but I went through it pretty fast. I'm going to go to my dealer tomorrow and have them order a service manual for me, I like having the service manual because I rarely take machines in for servicing, unless it is a warranty item.
You still have something wrong, that check engine light should not be on, let us know how it does. Did you know if the dealer had a service manual or were they winging it?

ha, yea its amazing what sells
I have a Polaris 850 XP EPS ATV, before that I had an 800 and a 700 and some other machines in between, well Polaris used these two relays to control many things on the machine, if one of those relays failed it takes out your whole ignition, but you could swap with the other one to get you home, Polaris charged around $23 each for those relays, I bought the same exact ones, same manufacture, etc. for $1.80. I put them on ebay 2 for $10 and sold the 100 I bought in no time....i didn't buy any more, but thats the way to make money, figure the relays cost me $3.60 for 2, shipping was $1, i made $5.40 for each sale, so thats 50 x $5.40, I made $270 total. Figure if you have multiple things like this, good income. I have a friend who's wife runs around to garage sales each weekend, sells the stuff she buys on ebay, she makes on average about $40,000 each year.
