I was looking for a commuter bike for fairly cheap , lots of riding but all dirt , so I love the looks of some Harley’s buddy tried so hard to get me to buy one (he rides one ) I watched so many you tube videos and I wasn’t wanting to be 10k actually 12 by the time California rips you off. , so I went to a local bike shop who sales all types of bikes I settled on a 2024 Kawasaki eliminator 500 , only because it was what I needed for the job , the salesman only said one time you could put grow it , I said probably but it’s only 90 percent for going to and from work 14 miles round trip . Never did he ever say or try to up sale me , in fact they tried getting me for 7k on the price I showed the guy the exact bike on their website for sale for 51/2 k he looked at my phone and told me shit that’s a crazy price and wrote me up and I got a 500 rebate directly from Kawasaki , I love this bike it has plenty of power and is great to throw around weighs nothing 389lbs wet , I don’t believe I will ever buy from a Harley dealer I might buy a Harley at some point but it will be in dealer tgat isn’t just pushing Harley’s

It's the standard one that comes with the bike, turned on its side.
There are two screws on the bottom and three screws in the muffler endcap that you need to remove. After doing that, the baffle slides out.

YES this is very wide spread!! Pretty sure this is Harley's business model, if not then why do so many dealerships have all these 23 models with 8 to 12k off?? And still not back to MSRP. If you look around some of the 24s are cheaper that the 23s, same model!!

I have it and my bum is never sore on it even after all day riding. Only discomfort I get is from peg height. Have to stretch my legs every so often. Apart from that the whole bike is really comfy. Had Triumph Tiger 900 GT before this and that was not as comfy as this! (Btw 5'10 and about 230lbs).

You sir are wrong. The Pan Am is the fastest bike Harley had ever made. And is more a sport bike than anything they have ever made. But you are right about the dealers scamming everyone. The sales people make commission on the markup in most cases. That doesn’t happen at other brand dealers. And that will continue until people stop buying them.
@m0t0rnews262 ай бұрын
Not really, though I see your point. The Pan Am is not meant to be sporty, though it is extremely fast. My point was that the XR1200 was actually designed to compete with sport bikes a dozen years ago. Now, if H-D listened to potential buyers and actually made a performance-focused Pan Am, I would pay attention. I rode one and liked it, but its geometry is too tall to truly be sporty, IMO.
@billbiker2 ай бұрын
@@m0t0rnews26 yeah the position isn’t great very sporty. It’s meant as a do it all. The one that dominated the super hooligan race this year were modified a bit.But I got to ride this bike and I have a Pan Am and the Pan Am is way faster. I’m out riding with 600 sport bikes no problem. I wish Harley would focus on the future because that rev max engine is capable of so much more. It’s like they are afraid of being fast. The bike you tried to get showed up at my local dealer and they had people calling about it from all over. They could do to the Pan Am what Suzuki did to the GSX8s who released the RS and it would be a track bike no problem. The other thing keeping Harley back is the dealerships. The markup is crazy and they always try to hide it with a low note. I recently bought a Suzuki 8R with no hassle no hidden markup.

I got it from eBay, since Yamaha EU sales them, but won't ship directly to the US, at the moment. If you go to Yamaha EU, you can find the part numbers for what you want, then search online to find a seller, unless you can get them shipped from Yamaha directly. www.yamaha-motor.eu/gb/en/motorcycles/hyper-naked/pdp/mt-09-2024/?configurator=on If people ask, I could possibly make a quick video on how I did it. Also, check AliExpress. They have them, but shipping times can be long.

Only on the 22 975 nightster the left and right control module stay on and drain the battery with the switch off. There is a service bulletin. I just went through this and got my bike Saturday. The parts are on back order until December. My dealer did a down bike with Harley Davidson. They pulled the parts off the assembly line. This bulletin informs dealers who are experiencing a battery drain issue on 2022 Nightster vehicles of a repair process. An issue has been identified where the Left Hand Control Module (LHCM) (Part No. 71500552) and Right Hand Control Module (RHCM) (Part No. 71500543) may keep the Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus awake after turning off the vehicle. This issue is more likely to occur in elevated temperatures. This is mainly what the bulletin says and gives the updated part numbers.

I went to a dealership last week to look at a 2017 883. A bike that should book for about 6500$ retail , after all the other added BS they are trying to sell me that bike for twelve grand with their financing. Uh nope. So i told them id just save up a couple more grand and shoot them a cash offer in a few weeks if they still had the bike, boy they didnt like that AT all. Im like well i about have enough saved up to just pay cash so, why even mess with all that other financing bs, along with a 995$ assembly fee they are trying to tack on to a used bike lol.
