Sorry Puc, But the rumor is that the plant will stay right where it is, It would cost a ton to move it and then try to train a new workforce. So we will still have 2 MC manufacturers over here and you just get the owner of one of them. But things are always subject to change.

Chrome is bad, I do not like chrome, I still do not like that proto.

Nice Job. Am I the only one left working to support all you retired folks??????????????????

A good time was had by all.

I still hope that old vid is not the intentionally leaked images that he was referring to. That thing is ugly. Top heavy would not be something new to us,

I'm in Wisconsin, we do not get prolonged periods of sunlight.........................

Thank you for your service, I am sure a lot of sailors also thank you for being you and the sacrifices you have made. Sounds like you are pretty well set for the future. Are you looking for another job for additional income or more just to have something to do. If it is more for something to do there are a lot of charities that always need volunteers to help out. Maybe you could still be involved in the SAR system but just not doing the grunt work. It is just as important to direct the crew to the rescue as it is to make the rescue. Or even to teach the new guys how to do it right. This way you are still doing what you like and already have a wealth of knowledge about.

Your man card is in jeopardy.................. Instructions are for those that have no clue of things. I must have at least 15 sizes between the LFH and the BFH so that I always have the right tool for the job. So I can do anything.

If they actually ran the business like what was shown on TV, I would be surprised that they lasted as long as they did. Along the same lines of thought, Buell Motorcycles was just bought at a court auction by someone near Grand Rapids MI. Is there something that ol @cowpuc aint tellin us?

Gettin closer.

Ask the the folks in the north east if they like how you "tuned" things......................... Looks like there will a new "tune" for next week...................... Maybe "Ice Age" may become an appropriate name.

I normally call my bike "The Bike" But I occasionally have names for it that can not be mentioned on a PG website, but those names are only while it is misbehaving...................

Puc as late as you come to the party I will have had at least an hour head start on the pile O fried Oink. And those that know me know I aint no slouch around a chow line.

Ifin yer samich tasts funny it means you need MORE bacon.

HEY! I resemble that pic.....................

3,000 miles? Holy man cave find Batman. Welcome aboard. I am sure it will not take you to long to figure out which of us are the Loony Tunes. But then sometimes a warped mind can come up with some really great ideas on how to fix stuff. Then you will really need to watch out for the @Cowpuc character as he is the Chief of the Picture Police. Ol Puc will be sure to let you know that if there aint pics it didn't happen. Yes we even like pics of bare nekid bikes with all of their plastic clothes removed. Speaking of plastic, remove yours gently, new plastic does not exist. Ebay will be your friend to find usable plastic. A lot of the plastic on ebay still needs some repairs. Fortunately the plastic is all ABS which is very easy to repair to better than new condition. Let the fun begin......................

Ckeck the red/white wire to see if its power is dropping out. Check the wire on the otherside of the coil at low RPM, if it is pulsing like it should ,your voltmeter will give all kinds of weird readings. If it reads zero then either the coil is open and/or the TCI is not switching properly. If it is reading a steady 12v then the TCI is not switching it to ground. If you have a 12V LED (test light) and you connect it across the coil it should flash in time with the spark.

There are 2 wires to each coil. The red wire with white strip that goes to all of the coils should have 12 V all the time that the ignition is turned on, running or not, it should not pulse when the engine is running. The other wire (color varies by cylinder) is the wire that goes to the TCI. The TCI supplies the switched ground to the coil, This wire will be pulsing between ground and 12v with the engine running. It is not worth the effort to try to measure this wire with a volt meter, you will get all kinds of weird readings. You could check this wire with the ignition on and engine not running, it should show near 12V which would verify that you do not have an open coil. This will not tell you if the coil is good, just checks one possible form of bad. The red/white wire that goes to the TCI is the same circuit as the red/white wire to the coils. BUT the wire goes thru the kill switch between the TCI and the coils. So if the TCI has clean 12v and the coils do not, check the kill switch.

WHAT??????

PARTY!!!!!!! NEKID CHAT!!!!! RUM Balls!!! **Yeababy**

Not only make sure that you have good solder joints but also that you have not bridged any solder joints. Although dropping out under 1400 RPM sounds more like a failing component than a bad solder joint. A bad connection would still be bad at all speeds. If you can find someone nearby that might have a known good TCI to try, you could quickly narrow the source of your issues.

Awesome time laps of "The Blizzard"

For standard hardware type bolts the size is coded in the part number as dia and length but not the thread pitch. On the Banjo bolts the coding does not make sense as dia and length so it might just be a meaningless part number. For example; a 97026-06030-00 is a 6mm x 30mm long. a 98706-04012-00 is a 4mm x 12mm long. But then the banjo bolts are; a 90401-10096-00 is a 10mm single banjo bolt but I know it is not 96mm (3.78 inches)long. A 90401-10044-00 is a 10mm double banjo bolt and might actually be close to 44mm (1.73 inches) long.

I'm not sure about that left handed spanner. I think it might need a left handed, metric, adjustable wrench. That is the same tool needed to adjust my snow nozzles.

Is it broken or do you need it extracted from a dark place........................
