  1. I would start by flushing the fluid in the clutch system first to see if that helps the creeping at a light. Brake fluid is cheap. If that does not fix it then you will have to do the rebuilds / replace master and slave. It is usually better to replace the slave with a new slave rather than rebuild. The issue in the slave is usually corrosion and the rebuild kit will not fix that, and the rebuild kit is not much le$$ than a new slave. There is a good chance that your clutch is fine, the stock spring is known to die of old age and the first symptom is slipping when you get on the throttle. You will not know if you need new clutch plates until you take it apart and measure them. New plates are 3mm (0.1181 inch) thick and worn out is 2.8mm (0.1102 inch) thick. Skydoc_17 sells a spring kit with a slightly stronger spring that will not slip. If you need them he also has the plates.
  2. Its an olde but goody. And they vote too..... AND SHE WAS 100% SERIOUS.......
  3. Those waves in the video are interesting.
  4. Thats because you have a bigger trunk than the Fiat Now park next to a Smart Car........ makes both your bike and the Fiat look big.
  5. The dielectric grease does help keep the switch clean longer. The grease helps to keep water and air from causing corrosion of the contacts. it is easy to jumper the 2 red white wires at the switch for testing or emergencies. As part of my winter maintenance I have just got in the habit of cleaning all of the handlebar mounted switches. Once you have done it a few times, it goes pretty fast. I did not remove/disable my kill switch when I had problems with it, I still want that shutoff option there in an emergency.
  6. Or at least the arm rests so there is not room to fall out. Seat belts on a bike are bad if the bike ever goes down.
  7. Sounds like you and Mike need to go visit the doc together and have the doc explain what he should do to you when this happens, so that he will know and a bad situation can not become worse. As mentioned, YOU need to make sure that whatever you might need is always readily available and that Mike knows where it is and what to do with it.
  8. Maybe that is why I had an EX wife. I never allowed her to win an argument. She said I cheat by using logic and common sense against her emotional arguments. My current girl friend has learned that it is pointless to try to argue with emotions against all logic. Maybe I'll never get remarried.........
  9. The 28th is getting closer. Don't forget to RSVP on the http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=443&day=2015-3-28.
  10. ITS RIOT DAY!!!! There are 3 DQs on my way home from work, It will take a little longer than normal to get home today....... I hope the lines are not long. Honey, I may not be hungry for dinner.......
  11. Oh Oh, I may have to start flailing on the bike to do all of my winter upgrades that I had planned for. It seems I am getting used to all of these new meds and the dizzy spells are getting fewer and farther between and less severe. If they go away completely, (doc said it is normal to have them go away completely after a while) then I will be able to ride the bike instead of the cage to WI MD. Looking forward to it.
  12. And for the first time in school history WI Badgers are a #1 seed.....
  13. It could be a lot of things. In WI the state has no say, If your doc fills out the form you get a handicap tag. I know people that have handicaps that would not prevent them from riding a bike. You can also get handicap tags if the passenger is handicapped, but then you can only legally park in handicap IF the passenger is with you.
  14. The wheelbase of an RSV is 67.1 inches, this dolly is 83" long. It will be a tight fit.
  15. This is pretty common. The oil light is an oil level, not oil pressure. When you hammer on it the oil sloshes to the rear and the oil level at the switch drops turning on the light.
  16. Is it your primer that is reacting with the factory paint that is under it, or is it the base coat (first color coat) that is reacting with the primer that you used?
  17. Sounds like a great plan. But in the USA age discrimination laws are not likely going to allow it.
  18. Did you know that many hardwired 110V smoke detectors still have a battery backup? that way they warn you of an electrical fire that also took out the power. That backup battery still needs to get changed occasionally.
  19. In some cases literally.
  20. The DL does require an eye and mini knowledge test. She passed. There has been a lot of talk about elderly driving in WI. Having different requirements for the elderly would be age discrimination and not pass constitutional muster, giving everyone the extra test would be to expensive. There are 50 year olds that are to old to drive, there are 90 year olds that are perfectly safe competent drivers. At 95 grandma was working with the church helping the "elderly" by taking them shopping or to church. Almost all of those "elderly" are a lot bigger and younger than her (she now stands 3' 4" tall). She only had to stop driving due to an injury that cost the full use of her arms. She still manages all of her own affairs.
  21. Grand ma does not drive any more,she stopped 5 years ago, but the DL renewal is the easiest route to a new current photo ID. Around here you need a photo ID to see your doctor or vote.
  22. My grandmother just got her drivers license renewal last week. She turns 101 years old in May! Her new license is good for 8 more years.
  23. I have seen people drop them in coffee, but that is gross. I can see them with ice cream........
  24. Its not worth the effort for an extra 15 minutes.........
  25. See what you get for washing and waxing it. If it had not been washed or waxed that pollen would not dew that.
