Yeah, it seems with most bike flashes there's one that stands out for each make and model. For my Concours, it's from Shoodaben Engineering, commonly referred to as "Steve's Flash" after the guy who...

Moore Mafia ECU Flash

Is anyone familiar with this and how it compares to Ivan's? I'm looking at a 2013 Voyager with this flash, but a search here came up with nothing.

Just curious whether that means Ivan's is...

Indeed you did. But I got what you said confused with what a Kawi customer rep said when I called (I was curious if any other recalls existed). The rep told me that the site was just to see if any...

Thanks Hillhouse. I found that link the other day but didn't know that in addition to showing all recalls for a particular model, you can see if the recall work was performed - as long as the dealer...

I've bought 17 used bikes and have been happy with them all because I asked a lot of questions before I bought. I don't see why a used Voyager won't work for me as well.

Righto - and I just called my insurance to get an idea of what coverage similar to what I have now would be and it'd be just a little bit more than my Bandit. So yeah, cost of ownership seems...

Even those who aren't internet savvy can call a dealer to find out about recalls. Before the internet that's how I learned about any issues with bikes I was interested in.

With all the resources out there like this forum, that still doesn't excuse whoever owns the bike of being ignorant of recalls.

Agree that's possible in some cases, but if the new owner takes the trouble to be decently informed about his or her purchase, he/she should also be aware of the recall. That's why I'll ask...

Thanks - figured it worked something like that. The reasons it's a must have for me is first, because when I get one I'll be riding it home. Could be a 30 mile trip or a 300+ one, but either way I...

How to tell whether a Voyager ignition wire recall performed?

I see where all '09-'15 Voyager and Vaqueros were subject to this recall, and will add this having been done to my "must have" list.

When I shop for used Voyagers is there a way to tell if one was...

Thanks JD - that helps a lot! On a scale of 1-5 difficulty with 5 being the most difficult, looks like about a 2-3 to me, depending on ease of access and how much dexterity is required.

Thanks. So it looks like I could PM Peg about KAMS installation if necessary. And K-ACT ABS is definitely a must-have too, but I've seen a fair number of '09-'11 models with it which makes one of...

How difficult is a KAMS installation?

I've been looking at 2012 and newer Voyagers because they come with KAMS, but am aware that for $400 they can be retrofitted onto 2009-2011 VN1700s. Has anyone done this themselves, and if so, how...

Frankly, I'm kinda over riding much with groups so it wouldn't matter to me if a Voyager is as fast as this or that. For a while I was part of a Meetup group that would ride to various BBQ joints...
