Review of my 2009 K1300S

[Bernardo]

Bike needs another low beam bulb today, didnt even last a year. WHY?

Basically because 1- it's always turned on, 2-vibration, 3-Brand of the bulb, 4- A touch of lucky: or 1 week or 2 years

Love those Pazzos on my bike too! (I did not have to adjust the plunger screw.)

At 23000 miles needs new front brake pads

wow, that's a good run. good to know. I may end up changing mine at 18,000, I'll find out when the time comes!

Front brake pads were done today with a little over 23000 miles, $265. I think I went too long by about 1000 miles, they feel much better now and they were starting to make noise right at the end of the stop. I go fast now.....

Got a Sargent seat the other day, looks wonderful, have not had it out yet to see how it feels, will let you know

[SHIVA]

the bike looks good overall.

Cant stand the Sargent seat after 3 50 mile rides and a 100 mile ride yesterday it is uncomfortable, it hurts the back of my legs just under my rear cheeks, meaning the seat is too wide, padding too far forward and flat, even when at a stop with feet down is painful. I have to scoot up to the tank for it to even be close to comfortable. I have had it past the 30 day return so I am kind of out of luck.

no you are not, you can have it adjusted for you. tell them exactly how you want the seat adjusted and they'll do it for you.

Thanks SHIVA I'll give them a call tomorrow

[SHIVA]

cool and report back to us please. they have very good customer service.

Got the Sargent seat back and much better fit to my rear end. Also 24K service done today ($499.93) also had cam chain guard put on due to recall is now in USA. I also got the new TPX 2.0 radar detector and will get new tires next week, they forgot to order them after I paid for them over the phone last week so I have to go back another day. Will post pic's once I get the tires on. The TPX detector has a new wiring system off of the detector it self, not sure if I like it, the old one was good, not sure why they changed it.

Happy riding to all

Got the Pilot Power 2CT's on today front and rear, first impressions is WOW! they turn into the corner effortlessly which alows you to really power out of the turn. Also here is a pic of the TPX 2.0, this new TPX is better than the old model, I had 6 false alarms on the way to work with the old one now I have none. I had to put a small piece of white tape so I would know where to line up the pins in the hole, the old one was an easyer conection but I still like this one better due to performance. Bike is already for the year now

[SHIVA]

looking good! I like the 2cts. Have a great season.
