doing better

[crazygaucho]

I was very happy to participate on the Okeechobee M&E first it was a honor to ride with brakepad leading the way to the lake. met a great group of people it did wonders to my soul and the 240 miles did wonders to my bike................

 

1) the handling issue that I had it was due to a faulty air pressure gage solved with 10 bucks

bike only had 28 in front and 31 on rear, added proper pressure to the tires (36/40) did pretty much the trick I think there is always room for improvement but I can live with this

 

2) "The Whining" it is just her sweet way of tell me " hey man rev me up or down shift me".I'm a big mean machine.

a full face helmet helps a lot also jeje

 

3) with the help of seafoam the engine runs and sounds much better, still have the backfiring, just going to ride it like this for awhile until I can check my carbs synchronization and maybe change plugs before I disconnect the AIS .

 

4) oil leak I think it's coming from the reed valve going to get to it during the week to change a couple gaskets/copper washer

 

bottom line really enjoyed the ride and the "I can get used to this" feeling came back to me

there's nothing like a good ride to sooth the soul.

CG, it was great meeting you yesterday. Sounds like you're resolving issues, keep up the good work. It's great riding when you're not worried about things that might be wrong and cause an incident.

 

Ride safe my friend.

Glad to hear things are improving. Always nice when you can meet other members. I am glad the exhaust tips I had are now enjoying sunny Florida, rather than sitting on a cold shelf in Western Nebraska.

Gaucho, Dang Barry mentioned something in a post for the Meet and said he could adjust them carbs for you. We should have done that while standing around early. Would have only took a couple minutes. I have a sync pro we could meet one day part way inbetween and knock it out. Or when we figure out the next Meet & Eat. Run a few more tanks of gas thru then another tank with the seafoam in it.

Oil Leak?? Sure its not overfull? More than 1/2 way up sight glass it will pull oil up into Air box and leak out.
