Hmm. It appears that I can't just tell it to add here; I have to make a new thread. My goal is to test this, and then put all GPS-related activity there.

We'll see how that goes.

[cdaiscool]

Well crap. I didn't realize it sends it from Glympse, so this site doesn't know what to do with the unregistered user and therefore probably just deletes the e-mail.

Now to figure out what I can do. Either I have to associate myself an account on here from Glympse itself, have someone associate the e-mail ([e-mail]) with me so it posts it as me, or put my Twitter in my sig and let you guys just get updates via that.

Dude,I have NO clue what you just said! lol

But it would be cool to get all hooked up you and your trip,however that works

[Hoko]

Cool, looks like youre getting it all figured out

Have you checked/emptied the blow-by tank, beneath the battery?  This tank captures oil/water crap, from combustion, and stores it.  The crud accumulates faster in rain-riding.  Once the tank fills up, it will cause the engine to run improperly.  To drain it, there is a hose, hanging down, beneath the battery.  Pull the plug, and let the crap run out, then replace the plug.

Have you run SeaFoam through the gas tank, yet?  It will dry out the fuel (it absorbs water), and it will dissolve minor varnish deposits within the entire fuel system.  Follow directions listed on the can.  It is also a good idea to add SeaFoam to the crankcase, just before an oil change:  it will dissolve carbon deposits, and other crud, within the engine, and the transmission, to be caught in the oil filter -- when this happens, your oil will turn coal black -- change oil and filter immediately.  This only needs to be done once every 20,000-50,000 miles.  With the T6 oil, it may not be necessary, as the T6 has more detergent in it than most oils (designed for diesels, but rated SM for cars, also JASO rated for M/C use).

If the SeaFoam, and the blow-by tank emptying, do not cure the RPM issue, I would suggest using a different vehicle.  If it is not something minor that these two things can fix, then you may end up stranded somewhere, with the added bonus of trying to ship, or fix, your bike wherever it fails.  Cheers!

Glympse is the tracker I have been using. Basically, you click a link I make, and it shows you real-time where I am, how fast I'm going, etc. Freaked my dad out Friday when I was using it, the battery died, and he couldn't tell that I was still riding. Plus that part of the freeway was full of trees. He freaked out, called me (didn't go through) and he called the police. They had JUST finally dispatched someone after 4 calls to various numbers an hour later when I pulled into his place. Apparently, the thought I'd smacked a deer.

Sarge, I haven't run seafoam yet, no. I haven't gotten the chance to ride it at all since the rain. Won't be able to tonight, either. Tomorrow I am hoping to. I will check the box you mention, but remember that I have a filter for my blow-by set up. So it doesn't go in the box, it goes in the filter. Yes, this could be the reason it was running like crap, but it doesn't make sense still as to why it was coming into power/going out/coming into power. And why it does it as well when dry, albeit not nearly as often. And why I am getting such crap gas mileage.

I'll seafoam it next tank though.

I don't have the option of a separate, different vehicle. I only have the bike and the car I just got. But I'm doing this on the premise of riding the bike. Doing this trip in the car just doesn't sit right with me. I'm doing this to get into nature, not surrounded by metal and glass. I'm having the mechanic look at it tomorrow or Wednesday, and that will tell me what's going on I think. And if the bike is good for a 5k mile journey.

I learned a few things from this concerning weather riding.

I get the concept,totally clueless as to execution,though I bet that did freak out your Dad.

[cdaiscool]

Next one I do will likely be Friday. I'll post a link if I get the opportunity. Then all you have to do, literally, is click the link and you'll see my position, on satellite imagery, in real time. Down to which lane on the highway I'm on. 

The link will look like this: http://glympse.com/RTX-5YH

So far, I've deleted all my Glympses, so you won't be able to see it now. But if I were, say, on the bike you'd see where, direction, speed, etc.

43 mpg on first tank. Okay, I think its running better. Oh, and say what you want about our rival OS, but drop a loaded bike and leak fuel everywhere, they sure do come running.

In other news, don't start the bike before on it. You may kick it into gear.

[cdaiscool]

I see someone watching.... lol.

Paying for grub, then trying to beat the snow on the way. If I don't, I may get a cheap motel instead of camping. Don't want to sleep in the snow. Will decide probably around 6, 7 pm.

I just checked out this Glympse thing, and you are either lost in a parking lot, or drunk.

I've been looking in and then following on google earth to look at the countryside.  Pretty cool app.  It's snowing very hard here, so I imagine if you have snow about to hit you there, it will be several rough days lining up to hit you.

  ALL RIGHT GREAT AVR.LOTS OF HOT DRINKS KEEP YA WARM INSIDE,
   WATCH FOR THAT N THAT ............

[cdaiscool]

Nobody said gps is perfect lol. Give me ten minutes for gearing up of rain gear then watch again.
