    Sounds like he might have been in 2nd gear, though!!!!!!

    There should be a screw into the upper main frame right around there, kinda follow the way that the wires want to run. The bigger one goes under this screw, I believe the other one may go to the starter solenoid coil (big round thing right beside the battery). Dan

    I found the exact same horn---called Bad Boyz by WOLO at Autozone for about the same price. Exact same, execpt they have plastic chrome round covers on the intakes instead of all black. Dan

    www.flatoutmotorcycles.com has them for $17.92 each. Good price on shipping, too. Tell them you're with Venturerider when you order. You need to check your bolt gaskets, too. Mine were hard as a rock when I replaced my gaskets. Dan

    No, it's just our recall thats failing!!

    Check out www.flatoutmotorcycles.com, they give great internet prices and treat us real good. Let them know you're with Ventureriders if you order. They are local to me so let me know if you need some help. Do you hear any exhaust noise coming from the rear, or "popping" on deceleration? These are clues the exhaust is leaking. If the round gaskets at the upper connection of the downtubes in the rear to the stubs coming out of the head is loose, you can remove the clamps, take a piece of solid #12 copper wire and wrap around the tube next to the gasket, reinstall your clamp and it will help to tighten things up.

    I use www.flatoutmotorcycles.com, great service and prices. Mention you're with Venturerider.org when you order. Dan OOps- bet you go to Wallyworld, though. Fram CH6002 filter is better than stock. Can get your oil there, too.

    Which one is one?

    Put it on the center stand and try it, that way the rear wheel can spin, if indeed it is the clutch froze up. Had this happen to me on my old H2-750 years ago, except it completely stopped the motor from even running. Next you will probably have to pull off the clutch cover, remove the clutch pack and see how everything turns. You may find something in the clutch basket when you pull the cover. Good luck and ask questions!! Dan Edit- while you were heading to Moms, could you still shift without using the clutch? Any abnormal vibrations? This would narrow it down a little.

    Might have been your Guardian Angel protecting you from something, too! never know about these things! Careful if you do head out, make sure that Angel is tightly attached to the bike! Dan

    What is the "can" in between the cylinder banks for? Something for the fuel system? I like that "blacked-out" engine look, Going to do that to mine, but thought about keeping the side covers polished. Nice looking bike!!

    No problem, just wanted you to know I was available in case you needed help. pegscraper--Y'all want to know what the only DRAG (cheap pun here) of the trip was? Before we left I checked his floorboards, not one single scrape on them. Well I can't be the first one to touch down someone else's bike. I had to make sure to keep the boards off the ground. Oh well, 99% of the trip was interstate anyway, where there's not really any opportunity for that. Sorry you couldn't keep up your namesake, Lynn. But you know, the proper thinking on this should have been----"RENTAL!", and treated it appropriately. In Steves drug induced stupor, he would have thought that HE did it!!!!!! Dan

    Dan, try taking the cables loose at the slider, then hooking them up to the carbs before you stick the carbs in the bike. Its easier for me this way. Of course, I keep a 3 lb. hammer around just in case I need any carb work done!! Dan

    Does make for a peacefull ride, though, doesn't it?! Dan

    Dano replied to 2RDLX's topic in Watering Hole

    Can't help on the carbs and mileage, but the lights look good! Question, though. Do they run straight off the switch or are you also running thru the accessories circuit with a relay so that they go off when you turn the bike off? That way you don't forget to turn them off. Makes life a lot easier!! Dan

    Same here

    Glad everyone made it home. Thanks to Pegscraper (boy, I bet that was rough having to ride a 2nd gen all day!) and Mariner Fan for making sure our Indiana boy got home safe. We'll see everyone on the 26th. Bummer, hope you get better soon. Peg, hope you can make it down, too. Dan

    Sounds like that could be the trick--- theres a set of gears on ebay right now, could have what you need. Thats called a ratchet cam, keeps things from breaking if the rear wheel is locked up/unable to turn. Otherwise, if you can wrench, you gotta take that piece off to redo second gear and the thrust washer/split clip anyway.

    On your front fender...... make sure you don't have any brake fluid leaks up there, will eat the plastic up overnite.... realize it could have been the "shock" of the shocks bottoming out, but still,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
  23. Dano
    I was gonna say...... don't push on 1 & 4 anymore and you'll be fine!!!!!!
  24. Dano
    If you go ahead and tear it down and replace the thrust washer and the split clip (the part that actually wears down) now, you won't ever have a problem. But, at the same time, I would replace all the orings and oil seals in there, as most of these cannot be replaced with the engine in the bike and the bottom 1/2 of the case on. Might as well replace the valve cover gaskets and the cover bolt rubbers, too, as you will need to sometime. Makes for a good winter project.

    PM me with what you want for it, and include the lower right fairing vent if you got it, mine decided to depart this world last week on the way to Ohio. Dan
