Sounds like air is gathering at the banjo up on the master 40. Try bleeding from that point 1st thing in the morning after the bike has sat for a while for tiny little air bubbles to gather up there.. Be sure to cover the area so you dont get fluid on the fairing. That is where I would begin if it were mine brother..

Heartbreaking to say the least.. Prayers Up for all involved in this tragedy! https://boston.cbslocal.com/video/4110628-7-motorcyclists-killed-in-randolph-nh-crash-identified/ https://boston.cbslocal.com/2019/06/24/randolph-nh-crash-volodoymyr-zhukovskyy-charged/

:doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::95::95::mugshot: UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Hah,, wha,,, there ya go waking me up again,, ears were just ringing this morning and I shoulda known why,,, lop eared door bell pushin varmints .. Problem around here is that summer is to short.. Got grandkid chillin's out in California that keep Tip and I on our toes during the summer months. Plus, WOWZY the western states to get lost in between Michigan and them chillins to get lost in = endless opportunites to be absent in mind, makes for mighty iffy eastern travel possibilities.. Tell you two varmints what, if we happen to be back home in that time frame we will catch a easterly drift and point mayhem in your direction!! Would LOVE to test my Ice Cream eating capabilities against Big Tom's and have another shot at the Hugging King's throne again too !!

Dear lop eared Wiz varmint and wife: The suggestion has been made to give Mrs. Wiz and yourself away as prizes at Freebird's 2020 MD. What a high honor this would be!! The only issue I can foresee with such a significant and honorable undertaking would be if Slyvester ended up being the winner of that drawing. In the way of an FYI/heads up please note that I offered myself as a prize to Slyvester at one time and was willing to hitch hike down south to his home = trusting the varmint to only provide food, shelter and endless ammo to shoot during my 5 year stay with him as the Grand Prize (I was going do the hitch hiking so no shipping fees would apply). I was somewhat alarmed when I read Slyvester's response to my notable and sincere offer - it read something like this: Dear Puc, I have open space in my storm cellar to lodge you for a night and a one way ticket for the row boat with one oar that will be arriving 1 day after you appear in our community. Das One Oar Boat will be transporting you to some 3rd World offshore country. Please bring lots of dramamine, skeeter repellent, sun screen,,, and perhaps some K-Rations for your journey to that far away country as I am sure, by the time you depart from my home on the ship and I wave goodbye to you, you will be somewhat hungry..

For many many thousands and thousands of clear windshield wonderful miles I have used this on my windshield: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Meguiar-s-G12310-PlastX-Clear-Plastic-Cleaner-Polish-10-oz/16550253 Even though the windshield on Tweeksis lost it's factory protectant veneer (her shield has been on 3 of my 6 1st Gens = it's a keep sake covered in earned stickers and I refuse to give it up ) I have been able to keep it crystal clear by using Plastx. I carry a bottle of it onboard along with a couple microfibres to apply the stuff. Simply clean the shield first with a gas stations windshield water/cleaner by soaking the shield and then rubbing it with my fingers until the bugs are all loosened up, then wiping it clean with a micro (NEVER paper of any kind = scratch city!!), then a squirt of Plastx across the shield, fold up a micro and buff in circles while the Plastx remains fluid, buff off and BINGO = no spider webs or scratches. I also used the stuff A LOT in business for taking old quad/three wheeler plastic back to a gorgeous, OEM almost brand new looking shine! Cha, I also have done the fairly common no no of using Rain-X on my windshield for years. You gotta use the spray on RainX though and not the little wipeys if your try it. On my shield that is missing the veneer the RainX wipes would scratch my freshly Plastx finish but the spray on stuff, applied right after the PlastX with a micro fibre worked awesome.. I carried a small spray bottle of the stuff so I wasnt lugging a big Rainx bottle onboard.. Something to try = if you dont like it or it causes ya issues, a follow up Plastx application will remove the RainX pronto.. I too would go back to the short windshield routine - I have a cut down somewhere that I sized perfectly for my ride height.. Problem with that in my case was/is I very seldom rode 1 up when out CTFW and Tip/the kids always needed the xtra shield height. If I were doing the one up thing, I would do exactly that!! Simply take er out and up to speed, get into your favorite long distance ride position, put your hand up above your head so you can feel the slip stream of air, cut the shield down until the slip stream is just above the top of your head = you will now be looking over the top of the shield and have ample shield height to hide behind when the rain/hail/snow/road debris from semi's starts pelting your mug

,, NO WAY!! I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THAT SLY!!:dancefool: One of my very favorite past times as a youngster was Frog Hunting.. As a kid I would do exactly what you describe only with my Crosman 760 and flash light.. Took LOTS of Bull Frogs by sliding the light beam in the weeds, couple little beady eyes staring back and WHOOP = instant frog legs!! Tip, Tweeks and I were playing around at night down in the Everglades and I noticed those gator eyes shining back on several occasions and actually mentioned to her of my wondering if anyone ever tried the Bull Frog shining routine on em = THAT is AWESOME Sly!! You eat em? I had my first taste of Gator meat down there on Alligator Alley too.. WOWZY WOW WOW WOW was it DELICIOUS!! If I lived down there in gator country those critters would be destined to become hard to come by cause I could live on that stuff = brother,, THAT is good eatin!! If you have dressed em out for cookin Sly,, how difficult is it to clean em? I am guessing you start on the underbelly as I cant imagine trying to cut thru that upper body hide/skin/armor? WOWZY my friend,, we are in totally unchartered territory for this ol lop eared Northern varmint = WAYY FUN!! Also,, did you have to hit in the eye socket to get into the brain with a 22? Seems like that skull would just ricochet a round? FASINATING!

:sign Rock On:,, and to that sweetheart of a 22wmr = !!!! Never owned or even shot a wmr = impressive Sly,, very impressive results!! So are the coyotes down there in the summer clothing (short hair) or still in winter fur? Up here they get kind of mangy looking during the summer but WOWZY are their winter furs are gorgeous!! Good deal brother and best of the best in thinning the herd of those sneaky pests down there!!

WOWZY WOW WOW WOW RED,, SHE IS A DANDY:scared::thumbsup:!! CONGRATS!! I particularly LOVE those fender guards and tips = just beautiful!!! THANK YOU for taking the time to figure out the pic posting routine = you made my morning getting to see such a beautiful motorcycle this pouring rain morning!!

WOWZY WOW WOW WOW = AWESOME PICS OF SOME AWESOME CTFW BROTHER!! Thanks for allowing us the privilage of a ride along!! BEAUTIFUL P.S. - how were the bugs? I have done a fair amount of CTFW out in that area myself and always loved the no bugs routine.. With all the wet weather happening, I am curious if the buggy wind shield routine is on the rise out there on the prairie?

You betcha Woody, you are welcome.. All the best in finding a replacement brother!!

Neither of either.. You created a double positive (being a contributor to a "slew" OR contributing to a "Bunch" are both positive experiences but the "Slew" is usually more entertaining) which is a no no according to The Code (whose rules and definitions will never be found in a meager English Dictionary = QUICK - LOOSE THAT THING - IT'S CONTENT IS CAUSING YOU GREAT HARM!!). Using the extra positive actually drags down the true meaning of "Slew" which creates negative waves for those involved in living the Slew life style.. Negative Waves are something you, as a fellow Slew hanger outer, want to avoid at all costs.. Here Patch,, Watch this short video involving a slew of lop eared varmints and check out just how far out of hand negative ways can easily become:

Hey Red,, if you send them to me I will post em for you = WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR NEW SCOOT as I am sure others would too!! I can do either text pic to our phone or email em to me.. If that sounds like something you wanna do - shoot me a PM with your phone number or email addy and I will get ahold of you at your choice..

Heyyyy,, Master or not brother,, I take GREAT personal offense to what's written in red above Patch!!! Maybe you didnt know this (like my deceased Father drilled into my pea-brain though - ignorance is no excuse for hurting someones feelings ) but lop eared varmints do NOT travel and/or hang out in a "BUNCH" no matter how crazy or geriatrical they get = they hang out/run together in "Slews" not "BUNCHES".. Sorry,, had to get that off my chest,, now I feel better :witch_brew::stirthepot::stickpoke:

If you can catch em staring at the house - take that zeroed in scoped 22/250 that is sitting in the corner, rest it on the arm rail of your deck,, lean into it, take a deep breath and while exhaling slowly draw little circles around a coyote eyeball, as the circle gets smaller move the circle toward the middle of the head mass and squeeze the trigger slowly, lightly and refuse to anticipate the shot. It'll flip em over backwards and irradication will be instantantious. If Wily is walking across the field with their nose to the ground looking for a - same shooter, same method only draw your bead right above a front shoulder. My favorite = running full tilt directly away = same shooter, base of the tail,, the 22/250 is much faster,, when it catches up to em a tumble will occur as the 22/250 round works its way front to back. **** One I have yet to do but have ALWAYS wanted to do = NIGHT HUNT EM!! Night vision scopes are legal here in Michigan and totally legal to hunt with AT NIGHT = IN THE DARK = WHAT A BLAST!! Sit in a tree stand to get your scent above the ground = call the critters in with a dieing rabbit call so THEY are hunting YOU!! Night vision scope with an infra-red to light up the eyes then back to drawing circles between the lookers.. I WOULD have loved to have experienced this hunt back when I was younger and had my 700 BDL Remington 22/250 but there was NO WAY I could have afforded both the shooter and scope back then.. SLYvester,, you are one blessed lop eared varmint to have such an AWESOME opportunity to control the Coyote population in your area = get er done Sly,, get er done!! P.S. = if we were closer I would loan you my AR15,, that sweetheart would be an EXCELLENT shooter for the same!! P.S. - P.S. = IMHO, that Winchester Magnum 22 would also be a good one BUT I am not so sure about the range and kill power at that distance.. I am not much for wounding animals.. Is it doable? Yea but them aint soft hided, tiny boned Prairie Dogs your controlling the population of. Not only that, but if you misjudge the kill shot range and/or wanna nail em out to 150 - 200 yards = 22/250 = NO PROBLEMBO... THANKS FOR ASKING OUR OPINION ABOUT THIS BROTHER = YA GOT MY TRIGGER FINGER ITCHIN:thumbsup2: P.S. = 's of the hunt would be AWESOME!! Video's of the same would be,, would be a TRUE TREASURED TREAT!!

I like it,, it's got that Darth Vader look to it

WOWZY WOW WOW WOW AG = BINGO = give that man a ceegar!!! I racked my brain over that one AG and just could not pull it,, YOU nailed it brother and YOU ARE DA MAN!!

Sometimes I think being an educated Grand Master of the Grasshopper can actual work against the Master when trying to discern exactly what is being communicated Patch, I would suggest you read the original explanation before attempt to follow the detailed explanation below. Because Carl politely asked for my interpretive assistance here I will oblige this one time: What the problem was is that Midi's bike had sat long enough that a mouse got by an overly fed cat and made it's home in the airbox of Midi's bike. The cat, who showed up way late to the party, was deeply apologetic for being responsible for the whole episode and the sincerity of his sorrow was clearly stated by his very own tears. Removal of the mouse house from the air box allowed fresh air to enter the fuel flooded combustion chamber of the precious 1st Gen restoring it to its honorable spot of King of all touring bikes for all of time. I know I read between the lines a lot,, and my explanation has it's loose ends and all that but even if Carl or the Cat who owns the bike come on here to try and bring what really happened to the fore front,, I am sticking by my interpretation and suggest you consider it as gospel.. This will save you a lot of worry.. By the way,, I am really impressed that Carl found the mouse nest without having to do a compression test,,, that Carl,, he is a witty lop eared varmint

I load em to YouTube and then copy/paste the URL into the body of the post here on the site.. If you do that the Video will pop up in the post and not appear as a link.. Kind of like this:

Back when I was a young Puc I delivered the Sunday Chronicle for a living.. It was actually a fairly lucrative business enterprise and I long surmised the reason for this being was largely due to the Funny Paper cartoon section of that Sunday paper.. At that time in the mid 60's, the Sunday Paper was 25 cents and daily was a dime. Bottom line, for $1 a month a person got his/her weekly dose of laughter needs fulfilled. Today, that same Funny Paper is $2 a week (last time I checked = WOWZY WOW WOW WOW, those young modern newsies much be really scoring big these days ) or, $8 bucks a month for a modern day Sunday funny hunter.. Personally,, I LOVE this new style of comics with real people making for laughter instead of stick people like Snuffy Smith, Bumstead or,, oopss,, my mind went blank,, who was that Army charactor?,, always in trouble with the Sargent,, cant recall,, lop eared geezer memory varmints causing the reader to fall to pieces in laughter. Anyway,, my point is,,,, for a price equal to the cost of a weekly dose of laughter in the 60's = I think Mr. Nelson's VentureRider.org with real life cartoon characters is the best deal going so I wouldn't take my $1 a month back even if the lop eared Bossman varmint who runs this cyber space program begged me too:hurts:!! :dancefool:

Looks like the reward for capture is a couple of pretty nice cups for drinking out of... Seems like the reward value's have gone down thru the years,, not exactly sure how a good, honest, lop eared Bounty Hunter varmint like yourself is suppose to make a living catching the undesireables nowadays Bum...

Indeed,, they are nice bikes,, IMHO, Polaris did a really nice job on the 106 Snype.. IMHO, Just steer clear of the first couple years of the line brother (the early 92 inch) as the trannies in those scoots were defective. I had a close friend who had a multi-line dealership back then and he had a couple of early buyers of the Vics come back with tranny troubles wanting warranty work. Polaris refused to honor the warranty and my buddy finally ended up kicking Polaris to the curb (entirely, he also had their sleds/quads and PWC's) because of their inactions. Polaris finally out sourced a complete redesign of the tranny,, I believe it was the third of fourth year of production when that happened, and that engineering proved reliable but they never did honor those early warranties and chose instead to leave a bunch of unhappy varmints stuck in the weeds and early bikes with no alternatives or updates on faulty transmissions..

This may help Tuffy.. I know @Chaharly was going thru some ruff waters with posting pics a while back and I am almost sure it worked with him. If not, maybe he will chime in here and explained what did work cause I know he finally did get his pics onboard.

Well,, I've been scouring the upstairs in my garage and unfortunately my cords were not where I thought they were,,,,, must have given em away to another lop eared CTFW varmint along lifes trail.. I did find my old headsets though and can verify that what DJ is talking about is spot on. Those old units were indeed 5 pin so at least know we know now what wont work. My apologies @Woody, I honestly thought we were onto something.. Oh well,, we tried

OUTSTANDING MIDI,,, now get out there and CTFW for endless enjoyable hours so you and your scoot and regroup on your bonding !!! @Marcarl,, THANK YOU for being there brother = YOU DA MAN!!! That compliment is gonna cost ya though ya lop eared Kanuckian magic fingered varmint = curious minds are awaiting for you to tell us what you found = come on,, give it up,, spill the beans
