    Might this be it?

    Or one of the air tubes that actuate the diaphragm may be plugged with goo. When you pull the cover off, small hole at the bottom under the cover supplies vacuum to the back side of the diaphragm to actuate it. Worth a check. With the motor off and the air box open, stick a long screwdriver down there and push the slider back. It should come back slowly, if it comes back fast, that's indicative of a bad diaphragm. If the slider is scored or rough looking, could be sticking to the tube. Dan

    I've been wanting to check out one of those low voltage push-pad switch devices I saw at Autozone. Gives you 4 switches on a pressure pad that controls a small relay box. Gotta see what kind of load you can run thru there. Electric work--YEA RAH!! Dan

    If you emptied the fuel and oil, you could probably lay her over on her side and weld some gusset plates in there before it cracks. Catch it early enough and it'll be easier. BTW, 2nd gear is easy to fix if you catch it before anything breaks. Several of us have done it and we'd be glad to help. Do the frame and second gear all at once, be a good winter project. Dan

    Sounds like we have another rider well on the way! Glad you have learned your lessons, Grasshopper! Just be carefull till you really learns how she handles. Brakes aren't all that great, but above borderline. Start looking at putting MKII forks and some R1 calipers up there! Also make SURE your axle bolts and nuts are properly tightened and torqued! That will allow a lot of flexing you might not think of. Also check swingarm bearing tightness, same reason. She'll tighten up pretty good after going thru all of that. Just treat it like a sportbike with all the checking you would do to it. Most of all, have fun and come down to MD! Dan

    Sorry to hear that Jeff, enjoyed meeting you last year and was looking forward to it this year again. Well at least you have all summer to get that bike done.....
  12. Dano
    D**n Jeff, you working on a 1st gen?! Oh, that's right, you got one of them there ANCIENT 2nd gens!!! Sorry, just had to pay it back, ya know!! Dan PS, get that bike done so you can RIDE to MD this year!

    I believe that all the amps have the mic hook-up underneath. You would need a jumper cord to go to the back for the passenger, there is also a rear control unit so they can control their own volume. Dan

    My man! And this comes from the fastest rider on this site! (Maybe not yet, pesky break-in rules!)

    You've got a float sticking. Might try to rap on it slightly to dis-lodge the gunk. Also attach a clear hose to the little rubber hose coming throught the carb bracket and stick it in a clear jar, then open the drain screw that is to the right side of the carb (phillips head, about half-way back in there. This is the bowl drain. See what kind of stuff you have coming out of there. Oh, gotta have the key on so's the fuel pump will run to do this. You might get lucky and fix it this way. Otherwise you'll have to pull the carbs, separate them and take 'em apart to clean. Dan

    I bought a motion pro synch pro, do not like it. Easy to suck the liquid out of it, if liquid separates its a PITA to get the air bubble out. I have found since, that to synch the tool, both of the screws on the middle channels have to be backed out all the way. If I borrow my next door neighbors mercury stick, no adjustment neccesary. That's IF I get to borrow it from him! Dan

    Gotta love it when a member finds his own answer! Good job Coltrain, pat yourself on the back now!

    Sounds like that battery is shorted. Need to start with a new one first, then troubleshoot. Battery after charge should be higher than 13.5 volts. You may also have a short in the wiring system, but i would not advise disconnecting the battery with the engine running to check your charging system. You could poosibly damage the rectifier/regulator that way. Dan

    So THAT'S why Brad and Lonna stopped by! Had to help you put the monster back together!

    That's because the 1st gen IS the original stealth bike! Been shot at by radar, laser etc. to no avail. Had one wave at me (60 in 40) to slow down cause he couldn't get a reading on me! Also had a bike cop stare at his gun for same reason! Dan

    I'm guessing here, but the pics I've seen have the arrow pointing towards front caliper, I assume it's a flow arrow. Wish I had one on my MK1. Good luck Dan PS did you find your drill yet?!!
